Description
Passive ALF is the name attributed to the latest safety helmet designed specifically for hand-held laser welding applications.
The Passive ALF is able to be used in a fully safe Laser Interlock® System. The helmet must be worn in the proper position in order to arm the laser. This design encourages users to always be mindful of protection well before any welding takes place.
User safety is paramount and using the Passive ALF Interlocked Helmet will reduce the amount of laser energy transmitted to a safe level in the event that there is either a direct hit or a high level of reflection from the laser welding process.
- Protection from laser radiation
- Passive laser filter protection
- Integrate with Laser Safety Interlock® Systems
The Passive ALF Interlocked Laser Welding Helmet has been tested and carries the CE and UKCA mark. The Passive ALF meets the requirements of Annex II of the PPE Regulations 2016/425 as well as the following standards:
EN 166: 2001
EN 169: 2002
EN 175: 1997
EN 207: 2017
Protection values*: 915–1180 nm DIR LB7
*Please note that the laser welding helmet only protects against stray light from the laser when using a hand-held laser welding device as intended. It is necessary for the laser protection officer in your company to confirm as part of a risk assessment that the maximum permissible radiation levels of the laser welding helmet are not being reached or exceeded.
