Speedglas Welding Helmet 9100 with Auto Darkening Filter - 3M Automotive

Specifications

Manufacturer: 3M Automotive Model Number: 37191 Product Name: Speedglas Welding Helmet 9100 with Auto Darkening Filter Weight: 5 lbs Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) Optical Class: 1/1/1/2 Light State Shade: 3 Dark State Shades: Variable 5, 8, 9-13 UV/IR Protection: Permanent Shade 13 equivalent Number of Sensors: 3 optical sensors Standards Met: ANSI Z87.1-2010

Key Features

• Advanced Auto-Darkening Technology: Equipped with an auto-darkening filter (ADF) that automatically adjusts to welding arc intensity, enhancing visibility and reducing eye strain.
• Variable Shade Settings: Offers selectable dark shades from 5, 8, and 9-13, suitable for various welding processes, alongside a light state of Shade 3 for clear viewing during preparation and inspection.
• Adjustable Sensitivity and Delay: Features seven user-selectable levels of detector sensitivity for reliable arc detection and an adjustable delay function to control the dark-to-light recovery time.
• Grinding and Cutting Modes: Includes specific modes for grinding and cutting, allowing the helmet to be used for multiple tasks without removal.
• Ergonomic Headgear: Designed with an adjustable, ergonomic head suspension to provide a secure and comfortable fit, minimizing neck strain during extended use.
• Peripheral Vision Enhancement: Incorporates side windows (on some models) for an expanded field of view, improving awareness of surroundings.
• Reduced Fogging: Features exhaust vents (on non-Air versions) that help minimize heat, humidity, and fogging inside the helmet.

Applications

The Speedglas Welding Helmet 9100 is designed for a broad range of professional welding and related tasks. It is suitable for most arc welding processes, including:

• Shielded Metal Arc Welding (Stick/MMA)
• Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG/MAG)
• Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG), including low amperage TIG
• Plasma Arc Welding and Cutting
• Oxyacetylene Welding and Cutting
• Grinding applications It is commonly used in industrial fabrication, construction, and maintenance and repair environments.

Benefits

• Enhanced Protection: Provides reliable protection for eyes and face against harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, intense light, heat, and sparks, regardless of the filter's state.
• Increased Productivity: Enables welders to keep both hands free and maintain an unobstructed view, leading to more efficient setup, tack welding, and overall welding processes.
• Reduced Eye Strain and Fatigue: The auto-darkening feature and high optical clarity help minimize eye fatigue and discomfort associated with repeatedly flipping a passive helmet or adjusting to changing light conditions.
• Improved Weld Quality: Offers a clear and precise view of the weld puddle, potentially allowing for better control and higher quality welds.
• Comfort for Extended Use: The lightweight and ergonomically designed headgear ensure comfort and stability, reducing pressure points during prolonged work periods.
• Versatile Functionality: Facilitates seamless transitions between welding and grinding tasks without requiring equipment changes, improving workflow.
