Industrial Factory Automation

For welding operations, Lincoln Electric offers weld-fume-extraction solutions for a variety of applications and fabrication environments. An alternative concept in shop fume extraction systems, Push Pull environmental systems are suitable for: manufacturing and fabrication applications where fume extraction at the source is difficult; fabrication of especially large work pieces; shops that utilise robotic and hard automation welding fixtures; and manufacturing where welding work cell locations change. A Push Pull system captures shop air and welding fume within a given perimeter, filters it, then pushes the filtered air back into the working air in the same area. This method reduces energy costs, as the heated or cooled air from the shop is circulated back into the manufacturing location rather than exhausted outdoors. Lincoln Electric systems are able to filter only the immediate work area. A Push Pull system is a general ventilation solution, which can be used to supplement targete...

Lincoln Electric has teamed up with custom car designer Chip Foose to create Vista Hemisfear, an auto-darkening welding helmet inspired by Foose's Hemisfear hot rod. The Vista Hemisfear is the company's first using a lightweight shell design, bringing the total helmet weight to 567g or less depending on configuration. All Vista helmets feature: solar-powered auto-darkening, eliminating operator error and alkaline corrosion; grind and TIG modes, as well as variable delay settings for greater operator control; four independent arc sensors to ensure reliability; different view sizes for user preferences. The complete series of Vista helmets also includes various colours and graphic designs, including textured black, Patriot, Nascar heavy metal, Red Rod and SurfRod. Every helmet includes a Personal-Pak with a soft helmet bag with zip-up pocket, a graphic Lincoln bandana and an owner ID label. Lincoln Electric's complete line of Vista auto-darkening helmets is available at loca...
