05-OP - ArcOne Legacy Helmet Outside Cover Plate 97x110mm

Product Overview

The ArcOne 05-OP Outside Polycarbonate Lens is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the ArcOne Legacy Series welding helmets. This cover lens serves as the first line of defense for the helmet's sensitive Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF), shielding it from the harsh environment of industrial welding. Manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate, this lens offers exceptional durability and resistance to high-velocity impact, ensuring that the underlying technology remains intact and functional.

Technical Specifications

Precision is key in maintaining the safety rating and functionality of welding equipment. The 05-OP lens features exact dimensions of 97mm x 110mm x 1mm. This specific sizing ensures a tight seal within the helmet's retaining mechanism, preventing the ingress of welding fumes, dust, and fine particulates that could otherwise obscure the welder's vision or damage the ADF unit. The 1mm thickness provides structural rigidity, preventing warping under the intense heat generated during MIG, TIG, or Stick welding processes.

Material Properties

Polycarbonate is the material of choice for welding cover lenses due to its unique combination of optical clarity and mechanical strength. The 05-OP lens allows for maximum light transmission in the visible spectrum while providing a robust barrier against molten metal spatter and sparks. Unlike standard glass, polycarbonate will not shatter upon impact, adding an extra layer of safety for the operator. Regular replacement of this outside lens is essential for maintaining optical quality; a pitted or scratched lens can diffract light and reduce the effectiveness of the ADF sensors.

Maintenance and Compatibility

Designed for the industrial environment, this lens is easy to install and replace. It is strictly compatible with ArcOne Legacy helmets requiring the 05-OP form factor. Maintenance professionals should ensure that stock levels of these consumables are maintained to prevent downtime. The lens should be inspected daily for signs of excessive pitting, clouding, or thermal damage and replaced immediately to ensure compliance with safety standards and to maintain the highest quality of work.
