New safety helmet for laser welding at Laser Components
The Mastr laser welding helmet from Univet, sold by Laser Components, offers comfortable all-round protection, especially when working with hand-held laser welding equipment: it not only protects against the dangers of welding, but also against laser radiation.
The Mastr laser welding helmet not only protects the user from the hazards associated with conventional welding methods (welding arc, metal spatter, UV light), but also from dangerous laser radiation that can cause permanent damage to the eyes and face. The Mastr is made of a high-quality composite material that has been specially developed for this purpose. In addition to the classic anti-glare protection with "Auto Darkening Function" (ADF), it has a laser protection filter against harmful laser radiation. At 700 g, it is a real lightweight that does not affect the welder even during long periods of use. The adjustable headband and infinitely variable height and tilt adjustment allow it to be individually adapted to each user.
The Mastr is the only laser welding helmet on the market whose protective function is fully certified in accordance with all laser and occupational safety standards. Most other manufacturers are content to certify only the front area according to laser standards. With the Mastr, the helmet complies with CE-EN166, CE-EN175, ISO 16321-2, ANSI Z87.1, CSA Z94.3 and DIN EN207 on all sides. "When developing the Mastr, Univet set itself the goal of creating a helmet that not only meets the highest safety standards, but also takes into account the comfort and needs of the user," says Alexandra Bahr, Product Engineer for Laser Safety Products at Laser Components. "With this helmet, which as a whole meets the European occupational safety and laser protection requirements, we have achieved this outstandingly well."
