Lincoln Electric
Lincoln Electric has added a second series to its popular line of Viking™ auto-darkening welding helmets. The existing 700G Series and new 750S Series helmets are solar-powered, lightweight and fully loaded with a variety of features and accessories. These helmets are lighter in weight than many auto-darkening helmets. The 700G Series weighs 18 oz. and the 750S Series 19 oz. Both use a solar-power system, making it unnecessary to remember to switch a power control on or off or replace batteries. Both series feature robust headgear with a soft, absorbent sweatband; a grind mode for weld prep and post-weld clean up; solar-powered systems with battery assistance on-and-off capabilities; a free welding helmet bag and Tribal pattern bandana; fast lens switching speeds of 1/25,000 sec.; and low TIG amp ratings of DC < 3 amp; AC < 5 amp. www.lincolnelectric.com, Bulletin E12.207.

GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies
GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies offers the DXR250V portable, digital radiography tool. Weighing 13 lbs., it is the latest lightweight tool to be offered by the company which says in the past, the use of digital radiography (DR) has been limited due to size, weight and connectivity of the equipment. With the new tool, DR users have the benefit of shorter shot times and minimal radiation exposure in applications that were previously limited to computed radiography or film. The company says the tool can easily connect to a laptop computer and produce images for instant review with GE’s Rhythm® software, providing gains in productivity. Key applications include field inspections in the oil and gas, aerospace and power generation sectors. www.gesensinginspection.com.
