PERFORMANCE
Extraction Arms
No matter if you are working in a small work station, under a low
ceiling, or in a large fabrication area, one of Lincoln Electric’s
®
vari-
ous fume extraction arms for welding will work for you. The flexible
extraction arms are built the Lincoln
®
way—rugged and reliable.
Low vacuum extraction arms are designed for high volume/low
velocity air movement to enable the arm to be positioned at a
distance of 6-12 inches (152-304 mm) from the welding source.
Designed with the welder in mind, the arms provide welders optimal
motion and reach for their specific welding position(s) and work
area.
The arms come equipped with the 360° rotatable hood for optimal
positioning to welding source. This allows a larger work envelope
with less repositioning of the arm and increased operator visibility.
With the extraction arm correctly positioned, the welding fume par-
ticulate can be effectively drawn away from the operator’s breathing
zone, as well as eliminate the residual fume particulate that often
rises and hovers within the facility.
With a unique spring-balanced internal mechanism, Lincoln’s
®
fume
extraction arms provide a long-lasting, user-friendly solution. The
extraction arms external shell is made of solid, lightweight 203 mm
(8 in.) diameter dent and scratch resistant tubing. Incorporated into
the arm is an airflow throttle valve and extraction focus spoiler. A
clear halogen lamp and automatic start/stop are available as rec-
ommended optional features. With the use of an arc sensor, the
system automatically starts and stops the fan unit, providing hands-
free operation and helping to conserve energy. All this combined
provides a highly effective system with maximum efficiency and
minimal disruption to welder productivity.

Self-Cleaning Filter
The Mobiflex 400-MS filter has a surface area of 30 m
2
(325 ft
2
) with
ExtraCoat
®
pretreatment and the unique 3D-pleated structure
results in a high filter efficiency, a longer life, and low operational
costs. The ExtraCoat
®
pretreatment fills the micro pleats in the filter
and reduces moisture. This increases its efficiency from the start of
usage.
An electronic pressure differential system measures the static air
pressure as it enters and exits the filter cartridge. If the air pressure
entering the filter unit is greater than the air pressure exiting the fil-
ter unit, the electronic circuit signals the cleaning system to clean
the filter cartridge. The cleaning of the filter, segment by segment,
with compressed air results in maximum airflow.
Compressed air from the internal tank releases through multiple air-
jets to clean one section of the filter at each air burst. A complete
cleaning cycle can be activated by depressing a manual switch on
the front of the control panel. The particulate is blown off the filter
cartridge into a plastic collection bin. If cleaning the filter cartridge
is no longer effective, the electronic circuit will indicate a full filter
cartridge by blinking the light on the front control panel.
