3oTrimestre15 | PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 84 Updated products Productos Climax: welding screens, models 421 and 420 Products Climax is a prominent Spanish manufacturer of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). With an expertise of over 30 years in its activity, the company has become a benchmark in the world of labor protection, both nationally and internationally. Currently, has got a pres- ence in over 70 countries, offering one of the most complete catalogs (head protec- tion, eye and face, hearing and respiratory protection, body and fall protection sys- tems) which are designed, produced and distributed from its headquarters, located in Parets del Vallés (Barcelona - Spain). The catalog of Productos Climax offers an extensive range of welding screens both electronic, head, and hand, which is com- plemented with the range of spare parts and useful accessories, such as harnesses, visors, helmet anchors, eye filters, filter covers, etc... Electronic welding screens Within this range we find, as the main ref- erences, models 421 and 420. The screen 421 is suitable for all types of welding procedures from 5 amps (MIG / MAG, TIG / WIG electrodes, plasma weld- ing and cutting) except laser and gas weld- ing. It is particularly suitable for TIG weld- ing because it has a special screening for this type of work. The fastening system is constituted by a harness consisting of two bands, a perimeter and a transversal one. The perimeter of the contour band can be adjusted easily by operating the knob located on the back side of the contour band. The length of the transverse band can also be adjusted in seven different positions. The band contour has two com- fort pads which avoid annoyance in the contact areas with user’s head. Made of polyamide, and with a frame dimensions of 325 x 325 mm, the screen weights 528 grams. The battery of the fil- ter, with a life of 5000 hours, is replace- able. Climax also provides spare parts for the welding filter, inner and outer filter cover and the frame. ·Ocular 421 The welding filter of model 421 (optical class 1), with darkening tone adjustment between DIN 9 and DIN 13 and sensitivity adjusting of the light, features a built-in solar cell that extends the useful life of the battery. These settings allow the use of the ocular for different welding processes: electrodes, argon / helium, MIG / MAG, WIG / TIG, plasma welding and oxyfuel processes. Equipped with 2 detectors of light, the filter has a response time of 0.1 ms (with return to light shade of 0.4 s), and a field of view of 10 x 40 cm (400 square centimeters). Eye filter housing is made of polyamide, a high quality material, very light weight and highly sturdy. The operation of the ocular is due to the sheet material housed in there. It consists of a filter for UV / IR radiations, polarizing filters, liquid crystal elements and a cover filter. Its electronic system allows going from light to dark tone and, when the work is finished, reversing the process. It is also possible to adjust the opacity of the filter (settings between 9 and 13) and the amount of light penetrating through it. The filter pro- vides permanent protection of the eyes from harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiations, regardless of whether it is on or off, dark or light. Automatic on and off. Certification by CE standards EN 175 and DIN EN 379:2009-07. Welding screen, model 420 It is the previous model, with a construc- tion and similar performance, although the 420 has no filter replaceable battery. It features the auto darkening 405 Vari- omatic Plus filter, with dark tone adjust- ment between DIN 9 and DIN 13, and adjusting of the light sensitivity. Suitable for all types of welding procedures from 5 amps (MIG / MAG, TIG / WIG electrodes, plasma cutting and welding), except laser and gas welding. It is particularly suitable for TIG welding. Viewing area: 100 x 41 mm. EC Classification: 1/1/1/2. EN 175 and EN 379 certified. 53
