• Safe welding practice in motor transport workshops calls for a clear view of electrodes and the work piece until the safety visor is pulled down manually before commencing work. A new design of face mask from Metaflux TechnoService first shown at the Hanover Trade Fair, in April, incorporates an opto-electronic sighting window which is "triggered" within 1/100th second of striking an arc to increase opacity to a safe level.
Immediately the arc is extinguished full transparency is restored without having to put down tools to raise the visor.
The photocell-controlled device is adjustable for different ambient lighting conditions and is powered by three long-life batteries.
