0700000240 - ESAB Globe-Arc Replacement Inner Lens DIN 3

Product Overview

The ESAB Globe-Arc Inner Visor DIN 3 (Part Number: 0700000240) is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the ESAB Globe-Arc series of welding and grinding helmets. This inner visor serves as the primary safety shield closest to the operator's face, working in conjunction with the outer flip-up visor to provide a comprehensive face protection system. Manufactured to ESAB's rigorous quality standards, this lens ensures that the optical clarity and impact resistance of the helmet system are maintained according to original factory specifications.

Technical Specifications and Shade Rating

This specific visor features a DIN 3 shade rating. Unlike clear grinding visors (typically DIN 0 or DIN 1), a DIN 3 rating offers a light tint that provides enhanced protection against bright glare and low-level UV/IR radiation. This makes the visor particularly suitable for oxy-fuel welding, brazing, flame cutting, and plasma cutting applications where a full darkening welding filter is not required, but standard clear protection is insufficient. The lens is constructed from high-grade polycarbonate, offering robust protection against high-speed particles and mechanical impact, compliant with relevant EN and ANSI safety standards.

Compatibility and Installation

Designed exclusively for the Globe-Arc shell geometry, the inner visor fits securely within the helmet's retention mechanism. The Globe-Arc system is renowned for its hybrid capability, allowing users to switch between welding and grinding tasks seamlessly. The inner visor remains in place to protect the eyes even when the outer welding shield is raised. Regular replacement of the inner visor is essential for maintaining safety compliance; scratched or pitted lenses can compromise structural integrity and reduce visibility, leading to operator fatigue and potential errors. This SKU represents a single unit replacement, ensuring maintenance teams can procure exact quantities required for their safety inventory.

Operational Environment

In industrial MRO environments, the Globe-Arc helmet is often subjected to harsh conditions involving sparks, spatter, and abrasive dust. The inner visor acts as the final barrier for eye protection. By utilizing the DIN 3 variant, operators gain the flexibility to perform auxiliary thermal processes without changing headgear. This efficiency is vital in mixed-process fabrication shops where a welder may alternate between MIG welding (visor down) and oxy-acetylene heating (visor up, looking through the DIN 3 inner shield).
