X54V - ArcOne X54V 5x4 Variable Shade Auto-Darkening Lens

High-Performance Retrofit for Professional Welders

The ArcOne X54V is a premium auto-darkening filter designed to modernize standard welding helmets that utilize a 5" x 4" vertical cartridge opening. For industrial professionals and MRO specialists who prefer the robust shell of a traditional passive helmet but require the efficiency and safety of auto-darkening technology, the X54V offers the perfect solution. This unit is part of ArcOne's renowned "Singles" line, engineered to provide high-definition optics and reliable switching speeds in a retro-fit package.

At the core of the X54V is its impressive 7.25 square inch viewing area. Unlike standard 2x4 lenses that restrict peripheral vision and vertical sightlines, the 5x4 format allows welders to see more of the joint and the surrounding work environment. This increased visibility is critical for complex fabrication tasks where maintaining orientation and tracking the weld puddle is paramount. The filter features High Definition (HD) technology, which minimizes the green tint often associated with older ADFs, providing a truer color representation of the arc and the molten pool.

Technically, the X54V is built for versatility. It features a variable shade range of 9 through 13, making it suitable for a wide spectrum of amperage settings and processes, including MIG, Stick, and TIG welding. The unit is equipped with two independent arc sensors that ensure rapid detection of the arc strike, triggering the lens to darken in a fraction of a second. Sensitivity and delay controls allow the user to fine-tune the lens response based on ambient lighting conditions and the specific welding application, preventing flashing from obstruction or low-amp arcs.

Durability is a key focus for industrial equipment, and the X54V is designed to withstand the rigors of the shop floor. The cartridge is sealed against dust and moisture, ensuring longevity even in harsh environments. It operates on a solar-assist system, drawing power from the welding arc to extend the life of the internal electronics. By upgrading to the X54V, facilities can improve welder safety and productivity without the capital expense of replacing entire helmet inventories.
