0700000239 - ESAB Globe-Arc Replacement Inner Grinding Visor DIN 2

Technical Overview of the ESAB Globe-Arc Inner Visor

The ESAB 0700000239 is a specialized Large Inner Visor designed exclusively for the ESAB Globe-Arc series of welding helmets. This component is critical to the dual-functionality of the Globe-Arc system, which features a flip-up welding shield and a permanent inner visor for grinding and inspection. This specific visor is manufactured with a DIN 2 shade rating. Unlike completely clear lenses (DIN 0 or 1), the DIN 2 tint provides a slight filtration effect that is beneficial in industrial environments where high-intensity ambient light, reflection from arcs, or bright sparks are present, yet it remains transparent enough for detailed layout and grinding work.

Constructed from high-grade polycarbonate, this visor is engineered to meet rigorous safety standards, including EN 166 B ratings for medium energy impact protection. This ensures that the operator's face and eyes are shielded from high-speed flying particles, debris, and grinding swarf when the outer welding lens is in the raised position. The optical quality of the lens is maintained to strict tolerances to prevent distortion, which is vital for reducing operator fatigue during extended periods of use. The curvature of the lens is designed to match the ergonomic profile of the Globe-Arc shell, ensuring a seamless seal against dust and particulate ingress.

Maintenance of the inner visor is essential for safety compliance. Over time, pitting and scratching from abrasive particles can compromise the structural integrity and optical clarity of the lens. The ESAB 0700000239 is designed as a direct OEM replacement, ensuring that the mechanical retention system of the helmet functions correctly. Regular inspection and replacement of this component are recommended to maintain the protective qualities of the PPE.
