OVERVIEW

ArcOne BG-FF-5: Professional Flip-Front IR5 Browguard

The ArcOne BG-FF-5 is a high-performance browguard engineered for industrial environments where oxy-fuel cutting and brazing are daily tasks. This unit provides a comprehensive safety barrier, integrating a high-impact clear visor with a flip-front IR5 filter plate. The 0.060-inch thick polycarbonate lenses are robust enough to withstand the rigors of heavy shop use, offering reliable defense against high-velocity particles and thermal hazards.

The utility of the flip-front mechanism cannot be overstated for workflow efficiency. In the down position, the IR5 lens filters out harmful infrared and ultraviolet rays generated during gas welding and cutting processes. When the operator needs to chip slag, grind a surface, or inspect a cut, the shaded element flips up effortlessly, leaving the clear visor in place to maintain ANSI-level impact protection. This eliminates the downtime associated with changing personal protective equipment (PPE) between process steps.

Designed with a generous 16-inch width and 8-inch height, the visor accommodates respirators and safety glasses underneath while providing extensive neck and ear coverage. The headgear assembly is built for durability and ease of use, featuring a ratchet suspension system that can be adjusted with gloved hands. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, an automotive garage, or on a construction site, the BG-FF-5 delivers the optical clarity and physical protection necessary to work safely and efficiently.

FAQ

The flip-down visor is a Shade 5 (IR5), which is suitable for oxy-fuel cutting, brazing, and light gas welding.

Yes, there is a full-size clear polycarbonate visor underneath the flip-front section to provide impact protection when the shade is lifted.

No, Shade 5 is not dark enough for electric arc welding (MIG, TIG, Stick). You typically need Shade 9-13 for those processes.

Yes, the BG-FF-5 comes complete with the browguard, ratcheting headgear, and both visors.

The visor measures 16 inches wide by 8 inches high with a thickness of 0.060 inches.

Yes, it features a ratchet suspension system that allows you to easily adjust the fit to your head size.

It can be used for lower amperage plasma cutting where Shade 5 is appropriate, but always check safety charts for your specific amperage.
