The TACK function is particularly suitable for those who spot weld or make very short welding seams. With the TAK position activated, the auto darkening filter will maintain an intermediate shade – around shade 5 – between spot and spot, to avoid sharp light contrasts and improve visibility at all times. This intermediate shade will be deactivated if the auto darkening filter does not detect a new welding arc after 2 seconds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The homogenisation of dark and light shades, in addition to improving visibility throughout the welding process, in the same way as the MIX function does, also reduces eye strain and therefore fatigue is less noticeable. This means that the welder will finish the day’s work with a less stressed and sharper view.<\/p>

And last but not least, with the TACK function, as the light shade remains in an intermediate shade, the time to go completely dark again when starting the next spot will be quicker to avoid flashes at the start of welding.<\/p>

This function is also available on the new LC568E<\/strong><\/a> and LC568I auto darkening filters<\/strong><\/a> for the DC-1 and DC-2 welding helmets<\/strong><\/a> as well as on the X3 MAX<\/strong><\/a> and F1 MAX welding helmets<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>

Both functions are complementary and can be activated together or separately:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
