voestalpine Böhler Welding launches personal protection equipment line

The Guardian series of battery-powered, auto-darkening welding helmets consists of three types. All of them meet the safety and durability requirements laid down in relevant CE and ANSI standards. They all feature a high impact nylon shell and comfortable headgear with longitudinal and angular adjustments. The helmets are available in Böhler Welding and UTP Maintenance brand design.

The Guardian50 is the universal welding helmet for multi-process situations. It features a larger than usual viewing area of 50 x 100 mm and a higher optical clarity rating of 1/1/1/2 according EN 379. With four sensors and a darkening filter shade 4, 9-13, it automatically adapts to the light intensities from the SMAW, GMAW, GTAW and FCAW process, the amperage level and the shielding gases used. Unique in its class is the use of True Blue Colour technology which shows the welding in natural colours, rather than the greenish view from standard ADF filters. A very handy extra feature is the external switch to change to grinding mode.

The Guardian62 is the universal welding helmet for multi-process situations. Its unusual light weight of 490g makes it very comfortable to wear. Unique in its class is automatic darkening in the lower filter shade range 5-9, making it also suited for oxy-fuel welding and torch brazing (4, 5-9, 9-13). With a viewing area of 62 x 98 mm it offers a further improved sight compared with the Guardian50, while having the same high optical clarity rating of 1/1/1/2 according EN379. Use of True Blue Colour technology gives the best natural colours available in its class. It also features an external switch to change to grinding mode.

The Guardian62F offers the same performance as the Guardian62, but is additionally equipped with a flip visor making it very suited for welding applications involving frequent grinding.

Eyewear welding glasses are designed to be comfortable and robust, but are at the same time fashionable. They fulfil the requirements of industrial standard EN 166F and are CE approved. The glasses withstand the impact of smaller objects colliding at a speed up to 45 m/s. There is a choice of four different glasses:

• Clear for general industrial use
• Amber for low light conditions
• Blue Mirror/ Silver Mirror for sun protection in outdoor industrial use
• UVIR5

Eyewear welding glasses are available in the colours of the Böhler Welding, UTP Maintenance and Fontargen Brazing and come in branded micro-fibre pouches for storage and lens cleaning.
