VML-200 - ArcOne Vision Series 2.00 Diopter Cheater Lens

Precision Visual Aid for Industrial Welding Applications

The ArcOne VML-200 Standard Magnifying Lens is an essential accessory designed to enhance visual acuity for professional welders. In the field of industrial metal fabrication, the ability to clearly distinguish the weld pool, electrode, and joint seam is paramount to achieving structural integrity and aesthetic quality. This 2.00 diopter lens serves as a critical tool for operators who require optical assistance, effectively magnifying the work area to reveal fine details that might otherwise be missed. Manufactured to strict optical standards, the lens minimizes distortion, ensuring that the welder perceives the arc and molten metal accurately, which is crucial for controlling heat input and travel speed.

Engineered specifically for compatibility with ArcOne's Vision series helmets, the VML-200 integrates seamlessly into the helmet's existing retention system. Its dimensions of 4.13 inches in length and 1.96 inches in width are optimized to cover the viewing area without obstructing the auto-darkening filter's sensors. The lens is constructed from durable, impact-resistant polycarbonate, providing a layer of safety while maintaining a lightweight profile of just 0.0044 lbs. This ensures that the addition of the lens does not compromise the balance or comfort of the headgear during prolonged use.

For safety managers and procurement specialists, providing appropriate magnification options like the VML-200 is a proactive step in reducing operator fatigue. Eye strain is a common contributor to errors in welding; by correcting vision directly at the helmet level, operators can maintain focus longer and produce more consistent results. This lens is particularly beneficial in TIG welding applications where intricate manipulation of the torch and filler metal requires the highest level of visual precision. The VML-200 represents a cost-effective solution to improve workmanship and accommodate the diverse optical needs of a welding workforce.
