KP3759-1 - Lincoln OMNIShield Replacement Lens Shade 5 IR Polycarbonate Visor

Premium Infrared Protection for Industrial Cutting

The Lincoln Electric KP3759-1 Replacement OMNIShield™ Lens is a critical component for industrial safety, specifically engineered to provide robust protection during high-intensity cutting operations. Designed with a Shade 5 IR rating, this lens effectively filters harmful infrared radiation generated during oxyfuel and plasma cutting, brazing, and grinding tasks. Unlike standard clear face shields which offer only physical barrier protection, the KP3759-1 ensures that operators' eyes are shielded from the specific wavelengths of light that can cause long-term damage in thermal cutting environments.

Material integrity is at the core of the OMNIShield design. This replacement lens is manufactured from high-density polycarbonate, a material renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and optical clarity. Lincoln Electric has engineered this lens to be 0.077 inches thick—approximately 90% thicker than the traditional 0.040-inch face shields commonly found in the market. This significant increase in material density translates directly to enhanced impact resistance, providing a formidable barrier against flying debris, sparks, and slag that are prevalent in heavy fabrication, mining, and pipeline construction environments.

The lens features a sophisticated contoured shape that does more than just cover the eyes; it wraps around to provide extended coverage for the face and neck, minimizing the risk of burns from stray sparks. Despite its robust construction, the lens maintains excellent optical quality, ensuring that the user's field of view remains unobstructed and distortion-free. This is crucial for maintaining precision during intricate cutting tasks. The lens is also designed for seamless integration with the OMNIShield headpiece system, utilizing a user-friendly push-and-rotate mechanism that allows for quick, tool-free changeouts, thereby reducing downtime and maintaining productivity on the shop floor.

Compliance and versatility are key attributes of the KP3759-1. It meets the rigorous ANSI Z87.1 standards for personal eye and face protection devices, ensuring it is suitable for regulated industrial worksites. Whether utilized in automotive manufacturing, structural welding, or cross-country pipeline maintenance, this lens delivers the reliable performance professionals demand from the Lincoln Electric brand.
