The ArcOne FF-8-AK is a specialized Flip Front Adapter Kit designed to enhance the functionality of standard passive welding helmets. This retrofit assembly allows users to convert a fixed-front helmet into a flip-front model, providing significant operational flexibility in industrial environments. The kit is engineered to fit a standard 2-inch by 4.25-inch lens opening, making it compatible with a wide range of traditional helmet shells commonly used in fabrication and MRO sectors.
The unit is constructed from high-heat, high-impact polymer materials capable of withstanding the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of welding operations. The kit includes a pre-installed Shade 8 Infrared (IR8) filter plate, which offers protection for lower-amperage welding or cutting applications and serves as a base filter. The flip mechanism is spring-loaded to ensure positive retention in both the raised and lowered positions, preventing accidental closure during inspection or grinding tasks.
Integration of the FF-8-AK requires a compatible helmet shell. The assembly is secured using the provided mounting hardware, ensuring a tight seal against light leakage and particulate ingress. This adapter is particularly valuable for facility managers looking to upgrade existing PPE inventory without purchasing entirely new helmet systems. It supports standard industry lens dimensions, allowing for easy replacement with different shade numbers or auto-darkening filters (ADF) of the same size.
