MILLER CLEARLIGHT™ LENSES OFFER CLARITY IN WELDING

MILLER CLEARLIGHT™ LENSES OFFER CLARITY IN WELDING

MILLER CLEARLIGHT™ LENS TECHNOLOGY - SEE CLEARER WHEN WELDING.


Does your traditional welding lens give you a hard time welding? or does it limit you in achieving the best result? would it be great if you could "See What You’ve Been Missing"?

With Miller's ClearLight™ Lens Technology the colours just got cooler....

MILLER CLEARLIGHT™ LENSES OFFER CLARITY IN WELDING

High-definition optics for precision weld clarity and component recognition

Designed by welders, for welders. Engineered to complement the colours emitted from the welding arc for enhanced clarity and natural colour — so that you can now see the detail.


Lens Tint Matters

ClearLight Lens Technology allows more colours of the visible light spectrum to come through the lens for natural, accurate tones.

MILLER CLEARLIGHT™ LENSES OFFER CLARITY IN WELDING

Many other lenses have an artificial blue or yellow tint, which doesn’t provide as much contrast or clarity and can lead to increased eye fatigue.

ClearLight Lens Technology allows more wavelengths along the colour spectrum to come through the welding filter and auto-darkening lens.

Where previous filter technology prevented some colours from passing through — which resulted in the operator seeing an artificial yellow, green, or blue tint — ClearLight Lens Technology allows colours commonly emitted during welding to pass through the lens filter, providing a more colour-neutral lens. To illustrate this improvement, the graphic above shows transmittance percentage (y-axis) along the wavelength light scale (x-axis). The green line shows the colour band resulting from traditional lens technology, while the blue line shows the wide-band filter of newer advanced lenses. The display is a good representation of the additional colours that an operator can see when welding with ClearLight Lens Technology.

Even when not welding, an operator benefits from ClearLight Lens Technology. The heightened contrast in colours makes it easier to see peripheral items such as cranes, structures and moving machinery – hopefully leading to increased “helmet on” time which improves the operator safety due to the faceshield and eye protection provided by the welding helmet in its light-state.

Brightness Counts

Comparison of CearLight Lens Technology and a traditional lens Auto-darkening welding lenses block light even when a welder isn’t striking an arc. ClearLight Lens Technology is designed to minimize light blockage — giving welders a brighter light state to see their surroundings.

 MILLER CLEARLIGHT™ LENSES OFFER CLARITY IN WELDING

ClearLight Lens Technology provides a brighter light state. Light state refers to the state of the lens when it is not darkened for welding. Light state is measured on a numeric scale that represents how much light is being filtered out. This scale typically runs from shade 4 to 13 for welding helmets. The higher the number, the more light is being filtered out and the darker the lens. A shade 13 would be a darkened lens for high-amperage welding, for example.

The ability to achieve a brighter light state with ClearLight Lens Technology —  which is a three on the scale — means the operator has a brighter view when the helmet is down and he/she isn't welding. A helmet that provides a light state of three offers a noticeably brighter light state than does a helmet with a light state of four.

A brighter light state from ClearLight Lens Technology offers numerous benefits. It can reduce the number of times an operator removes his or her helmet, as well as how often they raise the helmet to the up position. Like enhanced contrast in a wide-band lens, a brighter light state can reduce eye strain — an important comfort and safety factor, especially as the welding workforce ages. 

 

There's more than meets the EYE...

The latest auto-darkening lens technology from Miller — ClearLight Lens Technology — improves a welder’s visibility by allowing a greater range of colours to come through the lens — giving welders a clearer view of the weld pool and surrounding workpiece while welding. Lenses with this technology are also designed to reduce eye strain when the operator is not welding, enabling the operator to leave his or her helmet down during pre-weld setup or finishing work. This leads to greater efficiency and continuous protection.

Selecting the right helmet plays an important role in operator safety and comfort, and can also help improve efficiency, productivity, and weld quality. These are all factors that impact a welding operation’s bottom line.

An important consideration when selecting the right helmet for the application is the type and quality of lens used in the helmet.

At the most basic level, a welding lens is certified to protect the welding operator from the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays of the welding arc. In addition to protecting from harmful rays, an auto-darkening lens uses optical (and sometimes electromagnetic) sensors to change from a “light” state to a “dark” state when an arc is struck. Recently, new technologies have led to improvements for auto-darkening welding lenses.

 

Safety and productivity benefits

There are more than 15,000 welding equipment-related eye injuries a year, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Eye injuries account for roughly 25 percent of all injuries to welding operators, and studies suggest that greater than 90 percent of occupational eye injuries are preventable.

Injuries in the manufacturing or industrial welding environment most commonly occur when the operator is not welding and has the helmet in the up position. ClearLight Lens Technology, which reduces eye strain by providing greater clarity and a brighter light state, gives operators the capability to keep the helmet down when performing non-welding tasks, like grinding or cleaning. In the past, it was necessary to raise the helmet up for a clear line of sight.

Beyond the safety benefits of using ClearLight Lens Technology, the enhancements offer additional benefits that can help improve productivity.

When welding operators can clearly see the weld pool and surrounding workpiece, it can contribute to higher-quality completed welds and less rework — saving time and money. ClearLight Lens Technology makes it easier for welders to do their jobs, potentially leading to increased throughput.

 

Choose a helmet that goes beyond basic


ClearLight Lens Technology provides welders with a clearer view of their work — a key feature that helps prevent costly mistakes and rework by making it easier to see the weld pool. ClearLight Lens Technology can also reduce the potential for eye strain – making it more comfortable for operators to keep the helmet down.

When choosing a welding helmet, consider available lens technologies like ClearLight Lens Technology. Investing in a helmet capable of providing a brighter light state and a wider range of colors can help improve safety, compliance, productivity, and operator comfort in the welding operation.

In addition to considering ClearLight Lens Technology, there are other factors to look for in choosing the right helmet.
A helmet that is properly balanced is just as critical as its weight, since both reduced weight and improved balance reduce neck strain and improve operator comfort. It can also help increase productivity by allowing for more arc-on time.

Headgear technology that uses flexible materials to provide a more secure fit and conform to each operator’s unique head shape and size can also improve comfort and efficiency. This type of helmet technology minimizes the irritation of pressure points that could lead to headaches.
