Hi,
We have a robotic welding machine which is fully enclosed within and all viewing windows are covered with filter screens. The operator has a VDU unit at his work desk outside the welding booth which he uses to watch certain welding programmes. A issue has been raised regarding the flashing effect of the welding (pulse welding effect) which the operators feel causes a certain amount of fatigue to their eyes through their shift. There are 4 operators raising this issue so it is not an isolated case. I'm wondering if there was some form of filter or lighting device out there that could counteract the flashing effect at the VDU unit. It has also been suggested that by increasing the lighting levels in work area this may reduce the effect of the welding flash/strobe. Would appreciate any comments for guys out there?
Cheers

Give this some more thought Gavin as it may be the 'flashing' light causing the problem, but it may also be a very dry environment, which is irritating the eyes over a long period. You may want to look at increasing humidity levels if that can be done. Without being there it is difficult to understand the problem - it's OK, I am not a consultant looking for business. Interesting that you say they use a DSE screen, which should be subjected to the same considerations as required within the DSE Regulations particularly regarding eyes.
I hope it helps buddy
John

Thank you John,
Much appreciated. Had not considered the humidty issue. I will review this with my engineers today.
Cheers again!
