    Laser Welding Face Shields

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Face Shields. Laser Welding Face Shields.
    The lens on these shields filters out harmful light to protect your eyes during traditional and laser welding. The curved design offers better peripheral vision than laser welding goggles and additional face protection from impact, sparks, and radiation. To meet ANSI Z87.1 standards for eye protection, wear these shields with compliant safety glasses. Customize the shield’s fit by twisting the easy-turn knob on the ratchet adjustment.
    ANSI Z136.1—They meet ANSI Z136.1 specifications for laser safety.
    Visible Light—Visible light is the percentage of visible light that passes through the lens. The lower the percentage, the more light is blocked. Make sure enough light passes through to see your welding work clearly but not so much that it becomes dangerous.
    Optical Density @ Wavelength—Optical density indicates how much light a lens absorbs at a specific wavelength. The higher the density, the more UV, infrared, and visible light is blocked. Powerful lasers often require an optical density of 5 or higher.
    Shade Number—Shade number indicates how much light is filtered by lenses. The higher the shade number, the darker and more protective the lens.

    Get up close to your welds with these goggles. Their lightweight, compact design lets you weld in tight spots or awkward positions. A flame-resistant hood shields your ears, head, and neck from sparks and spatter better than traditional welding helmets. For different protection needs, wear them over prescription glasses, under a hard hat, or without the hood. Use the external controls to adjust power and shade settings without removing these goggles.
    As you begin to weld, two sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. Unlike traditional green welding lenses, these goggles use a true color lens to enhance clarity and color accuracy. They allow for a better look at your weld pool to increase weld quality and reduce eye strain.
    Welding Lens Optical Clarity—Optical clarity measures how clearly a welder can see through the lens based on four categories: visual accuracy, light diffusion, consistency, and distortion. Each category is given a rating on a scale of 1 to 3. The lower the number, the better the clarity. Better optical clarity allows for precise welds, reduces eye strain, and improves focus.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Welding Helmets. Auto-Darkening Welding Helmets with Integrated Light.
    Weld with the same quality as you would in bright conditions. These helmets have a built-in LED light that brightens your workspace, so you can see your weld and maintain precision even in dark areas. Turn the LED light on with the press of a button, and when it detects an arc or intense light, the light automatically turns off.
    As you begin to weld, four arc sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. Unlike traditional green welding lenses, these helmets use a true color lens to enhance clarity and color accuracy.

    Left Hand

    Also known as pancake welding helmets, these helmets have a flat face so you can get close to your welds. They’re often used when welding pipes, but are also useful where a standard welding helmet would be too bulky. These helmets extend further on one side than a standard welding helmet does for increased face protection from UV light, sparks, and spatter. A balsa wood box mounted inside the helmet fits around your face and eyes to block all light, even when working outdoors. Sand the box for a customizable fit. Designed for all-day comfort, they’re made of lightweight carbon fiber and have an open back for plenty of airflow.
    These helmets have a large viewing area for a clear view of your workspace. The instant you start to weld, the lens darkens. Solar cells recharge the helmet’s battery while you work.
    Choose a helmet based on which hand you use to hold your torch—they’re designed to protect the side opposite your welding hand, where sparks are most likely to fly. This means that left-hand helmets extend further on the right while right-hand helmets extend further on the left.
    Carbon Fiber Helmet—Warning: These helmets are made of carbon fiber, a conductive material. Never let them touch the welding rod holder and the material your ground cable is on at the same time. This could result in electrical shocks, burns, or eye injuries.
    Welding Lens Optical Clarity—Optical clarity measures how clearly a welder can see through the lens based on four categories: visual accuracy, light diffusion, consistency, and distortion. Each category is given a rating on a scale of 1 to 3. The lower the number, the better the clarity. Better optical clarity allows for precise welds, reduces eye strain, and improves focus.

    Lenses

    No need for goggles or glasses under these helmets. They have two lenses to protect your eyes against welding laser light. A nose cutout lets these helmets sit closer to your face for a six-times larger viewing area than standard helmets for higher quality welds. Without the need for a larger lens to enhance peripheral vision, these helmets are lighter and have longer battery life. Unlike traditional green welding lenses, these helmets use a true color lens to enhance clarity and color accuracy. They give you a better look at your weld pool to increase weld quality and reduce eye strain.
    Auto Darkening—Helmets with an auto-darkening lens let you switch between regular and laser welding without changing your head protection. When you start to weld, five sensors detect the light’s intensity and automatically darken the lens. Built-in solar cells charge the helmet’s battery during use. You can also plug in the battery to charge it while you’re not working.
    Welding Lens Optical Clarity—Optical clarity measures how clearly a welder can see through the lens based on four categories: visual accuracy, light diffusion, consistency, and distortion. Each category is given a rating on a scale of 1 to 3. The lower the number, the better the clarity. Better optical clarity allows for precise welds, reduces eye strain, and improves focus.
