S240-11-0300 - ArcOne Hawk Passive Welding Helmet - Shade 11 Black

Industrial Grade Passive Protection

The ArcOne Hawk Black Welding Helmet (SKU: S240-11-0300) represents a standard in passive welding protection, designed for industrial environments where reliability and durability are paramount. This model features a fixed Shade 11 filter plate, providing consistent ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) protection for a variety of welding processes. The Hawk shell is engineered from a high-impact thermoplastic material that offers excellent resistance to heat, sparks, and spatter, ensuring longevity even in harsh fabrication settings.

One of the critical technical advantages of the Hawk series is its weight distribution. Weighing significantly less than many auto-darkening counterparts, the Hawk shell minimizes torque on the cervical spine, thereby reducing the risk of musculoskeletal strain for operators engaged in prolonged welding activities. The helmet's design provides extended coverage for the throat and neck areas, mitigating the risk of arc burns from indirect radiation. The passive lens system eliminates failure points associated with electronics, such as dead batteries or sensor obstruction, making it a preferred choice for specific industrial applications like heavy amperage structural welding or outdoor field work where lighting conditions vary.

The assembly includes a robust ratchet headgear system that allows for precise fitment adjustments, ensuring the helmet remains stable during positional welding. The standard lens size facilitates easy procurement of replacement cover plates and filter lenses, reducing long-term maintenance costs for MRO departments. Compliant with ANSI Z87.1 and CSA standards, the ArcOne Hawk S240-11 integrates seamlessly into established safety protocols.

Technical Specifications

The S240-11-0300 configuration is delivered with a Shade 11 mineral glass or polycarbonate filter, optimized for medium-to-high amperage welding. The shell's geometry is designed to deflect smoke and fumes away from the welder's breathing zone, complementing fume extraction strategies. Its modular design allows for the potential upgrade to auto-darkening filters (ADF) if operational requirements change, as the Hawk shell accepts standard retrofit cartridges.
