The problem with welding aluminum is that it doesn't give much indication of its current temperature just prior to turning into a molten slag heap, nad falling to the floor. I think the last post that makes the statement that the special glasses are good at taking the glare away is the correct answer, it's not so much a 'safety' issue it's more of an issue of the lights wavelengths that you wish to attenuate in order to see the weld better. I don't argue that fact because each person finds what works best for them but you will never convince me when they then start saying that the panel and weld integrity are better afterwards than TIG welding.

Many of them feel gas welding aluminum is a better deal for custom panels they are joining.

After being in the panel forming tool business for years, I've had the opportunity to speak with the most respected people in that trade. While we're on the subject of gas welding aluminum, I only started doing it because we didn't have a TIG in the shop at the time. I have to admit that years ago after hearing about special lens for this purpose I did try some different tinted (colors) sunglasses just to see if some shade might actually make some kind of difference for me but I didn't get any encouragement from those experiments. Perhaps other people's eyes pick up on it and it IS a big stumbling block for them that the proper lens tint can eliminate. That was a whole lot of years ago and I still don't see the need for some kind of special lens to see past the flux flare that others speak of. I just used the standard issue torch goggles that had always been on the torch cart, some good ole Forney aluminum flux in a glass jar and started repairing aluminum air conditioner lines instead of replacing them. I started gas welding aluminum back when I was around 14 years old with no instruction and back then, nobody trying to pre-convince me it was some kind of 'black art' that required special anything.

Adjustment of earmuff position is easy via a simple ratcheting mechanism, while an integrated pivot allows the glasses to be conveniently repositioned when not in use.įinally, combining these separate functions into a single product is cheaper and easier logistically for professional industries (where PPE is provided by the employer) and in terms of material use and environmental impact.I don't have the answer here for you but I've had this discussion with many, many people and I often wonder if each persons vision to color must not come into play some. Cobalt engineered this band using optimised geometry and advanced plastics resulting in a patented frame design which applies firm yet comfortable inward flex to securely hold the earmuffs in place without the need for any additional strap or fixing. These issues are compounded when workers are required to wear additional headwear including hard hats.ĮyeSonic uses a single frame or band to mount both the safety glasses and earmuffs. These compete for position over the users’ ears - resulting in uncomfortable pressure points, poor fit and compromised noise protection due to the glasses preventing a proper seal of the earmuff. This patented gamechanging product provides significant benefits in user-experience (comfort, fit and convenience) without sacrificing safety or performance.Ĭobalt developed the product for EyeSonic to address common issues with wearing eye and ear protection together. The design innovation comes from the integration of two existing safety products – safety glasses and noise reduction earmuffs - into a single device. Eyesonic is an eye and ear protection product designed by Cobalt to disrupt the existing PPE marketscape across Europe, UK and Australia.
