KP3760-1 - Lincoln OMNIShield Face Shield Headgear Assembly

Technical Overview

The Lincoln Electric OMNIShield™ Headpiece (KP3760-1) is a high-performance foundation for industrial face protection, engineered to exceed standard safety requirements in welding, fabrication, and heavy industrial environments. Unlike conventional face shield carriers manufactured from standard polyethylene, the OMNIShield utilizes a high-density nylon formulation. This material choice provides superior impact absorption and structural integrity, ensuring the shell remains durable even under rigorous use. The curved profile of the shell is aerodynamically designed to deflect debris and sparks away from the operator's face while providing extended coverage to the crown of the head.

Advanced Suspension System

A critical feature of the KP3760-1 is its proprietary multi-axis adjustable headgear. This suspension system moves beyond simple circumference adjustments, offering operators control over five distinct fit parameters: face-to-lens distance, tightness/looseness, top-of-head fit, rotation force, and rotation range. This level of customization ensures that the center of gravity is optimized for the individual user, reducing neck strain during prolonged use. The mechanism allows the shield to remain securely in the raised position when not in use and lower with a consistent, controlled motion.

Ergonomics and Compatibility

Designed for all-day wear, the headgear incorporates cushioned front and back headbands that eliminate common pressure points and distribute the unit's weight evenly across the cranium. The system is highly modular, serving as the base for the entire OMNIShield platform. It readily accepts a variety of lenses, including clear, anti-fog, and various IR shades for cutting and brazing applications. Furthermore, the headpiece is compatible with Lincoln Electric's hard hat adapters (sold separately), making it a versatile solution for construction sites requiring head protection compliance. The unit meets ANSI Z87.1 standards, certifying its capability to withstand high-velocity impacts.
