 Battery module and vehicle assembly
uvex occupational safety equipment for vehicle assembly in the electromobility sector
=======================================================================================
Many automotive manufacturers implement technical and organisational solutions in accordance with the TOP principle (technical, organisational and personal measures) to protect their staff and are often confronted with the same requirements that apply to conventional vehicle assembly. However, there are workplaces that must be protected against voltage and short circuit electric arcs. Requirements regarding ergonomics and mobility in assembly operations remain unchanged. uvex therefore offers products that do not restrict workers and still offer the highest level of safety.

Wearer comfort and protection
----------------------------------
When it comes to producing ergonomic PPE, uvex adopts a consistent approach to take into account body shapes and movements. This is evident in virtually every material group, be it protective clothing, gloves or head protection. Take the “faceguard” visors with short circuit electric arc protection for example; these allow the visor element to be pushed back into a resting position so that it sits centrally over the middle of the head to balance the weight load for the wearer’s neck and thereby prevent fatigue and poor posture.
Touchscreen capability
---------------------------
The electromobility sector frequently impresses with innovative operating systems and displays. This technology often requires unrestricted use of touchscreens to optimise work processes. In this context, wearing safety gloves cannot be restrictive in any way, which is why “UVEX safety gloves”, which are made in Germany, place high value on sensitivity and being able to operate displays, regardless of whether protection against rough or sharp objects must be ensured at the same time or a special grip is required.

Lens materials
-------------------
**Polycarbonate (PC)**
- organic material with very high tensile strength
- only limited chemical resistance
- mechanical strength, class “F” (45 m/sec)
- PC+ – polycarbonate lens that is thicker in the middle, especially for uvex RX goggles
**Trivex™**
- organic material with high tensile strength
- lightweight, also suitable for high prescriptions
- excellent optical image reproduction properties, even for high prescriptions
- excellent resistance to cleaning agents, oils and cosmetics
- good scratch resistance
- best all-round lens material
- mechanical strength, class “F” (45 m/sec)
**CR39**
- Also known as: plastic
- Not suitable for safety spectacles unless modified, as the tensile strength is otherwise too low. The middle of the lens must be thicker in order to meet the requirements for tensile strength.
- organic, lightweight material
- excellent optical image reproduction properties, even for high prescriptions
- suitable for working with chemicals and paints/varnishes
- good scratch resistance due to hard coating (optional)
- mechanical strength, class “S” (ball drop test)
Finishes
-------------
### Anti-reflective coating
Anti-reflective coating is a layer applied to the inside and outside of lenses using vapour deposition. It significantly reduces reflections on the surfaces. It offers a cosmetic advantage and increases light transmission.
**Three types of coating are available:**
- Normal anti-reflective coating
- Multi anti-reflective coating
- Super anti-reflective coating
UV blue protect
--------------------
### UV blue protect
A special absorber has been added to the lens material that completely filters out UV rays and reduces the blue light content.
- The lenses absorb UV radiation up to 400 nm at 100%, filter short-wave blue light up to 410 nm almost completely and reduce the spectrum from 410 nm to 420 nm by 86%.
- uvex UV blue protect lenses enhance contrast and effectively prevent signs of fatigue and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
- The mechanical strength of the lenses is guaranteed – clear lenses with UV blue protect are marked 2C-1.2.
- UV blue protect is optionally available for polycarbonate (PC) lenses and HI 1.67.
