WALTER LAUNCHES ITS FIRST ORBIT™ WELDING HELMET

Windsor, Connecticut, January 20, 2023 - WALTER Surface Technologies has been providing end users with means to achieve greatness for more than 70 years by becoming a one-stop shop for all metalworking needs and is now expanding its PPE product offering by introducing a newly designed welding helmet.

The new ORBIT™ welding helmet, available now, offers innovative features like three high-definition auto-darkening lenses with a 3-year warranty, anti-scratch cover plates, and a 24-square-inch viewing area. The three lenses and viewing area offer optimal peripheral vision for increased safety and productivity while on the job. In addition, its HD technology allows you to see colors well and have a clearer and more defined view to ensure your senses are not impaired when wearing the helmet, furthering WALTER’s commitment to safety and productivity.

“Specially designed with a wider fit for increased comfort, the ORBIT™ allows you to wear additional gear, glasses, or other accessories underneath the helmet with complete ease,” says Philip Laforest, R&D Product Manager – PPE, Weld Cleaning & Metalworking Fluid.

It also includes external controls for shade adjustment and for selecting grind mode without having to lift the hood. It is solar powered and has a USB charger for backup charging for enhanced ease of use.
