Orion Basic ADL: Essential Eye Protection for Pulse Arc Welding

The Orion Basic ADL (Auto Darkening Lens) is a crucial accessory for welders using Orion and Zapp™ pulse arc welders. Designed with the safety and comfort of professional jewelers and metalworkers in mind, the Orion Basic ADL comes standard with the Orion mPulse™ and provides essential eye protection by automatically darkening during welding. This feature ensures that users are shielded from the intense light emitted by pulse arc welders, creating a safer and more comfortable working experience. Whether you’re working with delicate jewelry pieces or complex metalwork, the Basic ADL offers the precision and functionality you need.

Enhanced Eye Protection with Auto Darkening Lens

The Orion Basic ADL is engineered for superior eye protection. Its auto-darkening functionality allows the lens to darken precisely when the weld begins, safeguarding the user’s eyes from harmful weld flash without needing manual adjustments. This feature is indispensable for users who rely on clear visibility and protection during the welding process. The darkening adjustment dial also provides users with the flexibility to customize the lens to the specific brightness levels they need, whether for bright or dim work environments.

Key Features of the Orion Basic ADL

The Orion Basic ADL boasts several advanced features that make it a standout in the welding industry:

  • Darkening Adjustment Dial: Fine-tune the level of darkness to suit your specific welding needs. This customization ensures that you have the right amount of protection without sacrificing clarity.

  • 3.5x1.5-Inch Viewing Area: Enjoy an ample viewing area that provides a broad field of vision, allowing for precise detail work. This size is ideal for jewelry makers and metalworkers who need accuracy in each weld.

  • 12 LED Illuminated Workspace: The Basic ADL is equipped with 12 powerful LEDs that illuminate the workspace, enhancing visibility in all lighting conditions. This feature ensures that you can see every detail of your workpiece, reducing the chances of mistakes and improving efficiency.

  • Stylus Holder for Hands-Free Operation: The Basic ADL includes a stylus holder, which allows the operator to secure the stylus in place, freeing up both hands to hold and adjust the workpiece. This feature is particularly useful for tasks that require fine motor skills, as it enhances stability and control.

  • Compatibility with Orion and Zapp Welders: The Basic ADL is compatible with all Orion and Zapp™ pulse arc welders, making it a versatile choice for welders working with different models. Its universal compatibility means that users can trust the Basic ADL across a range of equipment, ensuring consistent protection and ease of use.

Why Choose the Orion Basic ADL?

For jewelers and metalworking professionals, eye protection is paramount. The Orion Basic ADL offers this essential safety feature while enhancing convenience and efficiency. With its auto-darkening lens, bright LED lighting, and ergonomic design, the Basic ADL is ideal for welders who prioritize safety without compromising functionality. Its compatibility with a range of Orion and Zapp welders adds to its versatility, making it an invaluable tool for professionals in the industry.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Orion mPulse PRO and the Orion mPulse?

If you're doing fine jewelry work, like welding jump‑rings, thin chains, delicate metals (small items, gold/silver, maybe small copper pieces), the regular Orion mPulse is often enough: precise, clean welds, good for “standard” permanent jewelry or light repair.

If you expect heavier use, or want to weld thicker/heavier metals, larger pieces, mixed metals or tougher tasks (e.g. chain repair beyond basic chains, small manufacturing, more load‑bearing welds), the PRO is more future‑proof: higher power lets you handle tougher jobs, more range gives flexibility, and you won’t quickly outgrow the machine.

For a mixed workshop where you sometimes need small delicate welds and other times stronger welds — the PRO gives you flexibility, whereas the regular weld is more limited to lighter jobs.

What metals can I weld with this machine?

The Orion mPulse is designed primarily for precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. The PRO version can also handle slightly heavier metals, mixed alloys, and small copper/brass plates. Very thick metals (>3 mm) may require multiple pulses or another welder designed for industrial metal.

How precise are the welds? Can I control the energy?

Both models offer precise energy control: fine increments at lower energy (under ~15 J), and 1 J increments above that. This allows delicate control for small chains while enabling stronger welds on heavier pieces with the PRO version.

What safety features does it have?

  • Digital pulse control prevents overheating.
  • Grounding clip ensures electrical safety.
  • Minimal spatter reduces burn risk.
  • Short pulse duration keeps heat localized.

Always wear protective eyewear when welding.

How portable is it? Can I use it at pop-up events?

Both units are relatively compact and lightweight. The mPulse is easier to move for small setups, while the PRO is slightly larger due to additional power. Both can work on a portable table, but ensure access to a grounded outlet.

What about maintenance and consumables?

  • Electrodes: Tungsten electrodes are consumables; lifespan depends on weld volume.
  • Maintenance: Keep the stylus and grounding clip clean; check connections regularly.
  • Support: Sunstone offers replacement parts, support guides, and consumables globally.
