Airfed welding systems: Meeting new HSE requirements

Wilkinson Star is now UK and Eire distributor for Weltek airfed grinding and welding systems which meet the new HSE protective directive for welding on mild steel.

The Kapio S4 auto darkening helmet offers 160° side vision, four arc sensors, viewing area of 93 x 43mm with grinding function; the Navitek Side Vision S4 auto darkening helmet offers the same features, but with an extra large clear grinding visor beneath the welding flip. Both units conform to EN166B, 175B, 379.
