Helmet + air

Eagle Welding Supplies has provided 120 ESAB Globe-Arc welding helmets with Origo air supply units to OGN Group in Newcastle for use in the fabrication of offshore modules.

'Globe-Arc prepared for Air' offers full head and face protection and a flip-up welding visor, but with provision for a fresh air supply. This combination of features is expected to prove popular with welders or platers who need a compact, lightweight helmet for use with an air supply.

The helmets have a fixed Shade 2 or Shade 3 visor for operations such as grinding, and a flip-up Shade 8 or Shade 10 welding visor that, when down, still provides a clear view through the bottom portion of the fixed visor. Both give a wide field of vision, while protecting the welder at all times from UV and IR radiation.
