From the Manufacturer
---------------------
3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet 9100 FX with Side Windows and Auto
Darkening Filter is a flip-up combination of an auto-darkening
welding helmet and a protective visor. This system helps provide
professional-grade eye and face protection from debris and
harmful radiation including visible light, ultra-violet radiation
(UV), infra-red radiation (IR), and sparks and spatter. The
helmet offers a large viewing area and side windows with shade 5
filters increase your peripheral field of vision. A spark- and
spatter-resistant headcover is also standard on all 3M Speedglas
Welding Series 9100 FX Helmets. While offering high-level
protection, this welding helmet also delivers on comfort, which
helps to boost on-the-job worker satisfaction and productivity.
For professional welders, this welding helmet is a good
investment that can pay off with greater service and
satisfaction.
Auto Darkening Filter Reacts Quickly After Striking an Arc
The Speedglas lens features user-selectable dark shades 5, 8, 9
through 13, and a light shade of 3. With a viewing area of 2.8
inches high x 4.2 inches wide (72 mm x 107 mm), the 9100XX
provides the largest viewing area available in the 9100 Series
helmets, and an expansive field of view that helps the welder to
see the work in progress with minimal obstruction.
Three sensors in the lens activate the auto-darkening filter
when an arc is struck. The lens then switches from light to dark
shade in approximately 0.1 milliseconds (1/10,000 of a second),
giving the welder an instant transition from light to dark shade
while maintaining an optimal view for torch placement and weld
puddle control. When the weld is complete, the filter
automatically returns to light shade 3 with a delay of
approximately 40-250 milliseconds, allowing almost immediate
inspection of the weld pool and preparation for the next weld.
Exhaust vents readily direct your exhaled air out of the helmet,
helping to reduce heat, humidity and fogging of the welding
filter and protective visor.
The auto darkening filter reduces the need to flip the welding
helmet up and down between torch placements, which can boost
productivity by reducing the stop-and-start time needed with
passive lens welding helmets. This feature also can reduce neck
stain from “helmet nodding,” while greatly increasing the
accuracy of electronic placement. This, in turn, can also reduce
the need for grinding and rework, saving time, effort and money.
The helmet’s battery life is approximately 2,000 hours. The two
Cr2030 3V lithium batteries that power the Auto-Darkening filter
are easily accessible and replaceable, extending the helmet life.
Flip-up design eliminates the need to remove the helmet for
non-welding tasks
Designed for ultimate worker convenience, this welding helmet
allows you to position the auto darkening filter down for welding
and flip it up for other tasks. When the auto darkening filter is
flipped up, eyes and face are still protected from debris, chips,
dust, sparks and other objects by a clear protective visor, which
is curved to maximize peripheral vision. You get a clear, 8” x
4.25” (17 x 10 cm) view, which is enables for precision grinding
and inspection in low light conditions. This wide field of view
allows workers to see better and maintain high productivity on
the job. Convenience is a main benefit of the flip-up welding
helmet because it allows workers to handle non-welding tasks
without removing the helmet or supplementing an additional face
shield. For added worker protection, a spark- and
spatter-resistant fabric head cover is standard on all 3M™
Speedglas™ Welding Helmet Series 9100 FX models.
Welding Protection with Excellent Optics, Wider Front Views and
Side Windows
The 3M™ Speedglas™ Auto-Darkening Filters Series 9100 offers
uniform shading and minimal distortion across the entire filter
viewing area. By selecting the right setting for each task, you
help reduce eye strain and improve the quality of every weld. Any
shade can be “locked-in.” For example, you can lock in the light
state shade 3 for grinding. The 9100 series also includes an
exclusive, innovative “tack welding comfort mode” which can help
reduce eye strain.
One Helmet Works for Three Types of Welding
This fully assembled welding helmet with ADF (Auto Darkening
Filter) offers sensitivity adjustments for use with most Stick
(arc welding), MIG (Metal Inert ) and TIG (Tungsten Inert )
welding applications. The welding helmet uses an auto darkening
filter that can be adjusted for different shades based on the
welding amperage.
The ultimate in comfort with a headband that shapes for a
customized fit
3M™ Speedglas Series 9100 FX helmets feature highly adjustable,
ergonomically designed head suspension system featuring:
* Two adjustable crown straps for increased stability and weight
distribution
* Padded front headband designed to evenly distribute pressure
* Swivel-ed smooth ratchet system for simple, precise
tightening and ergonomic fit
* Snap adjustment of nine different helmet angles
* Large knobs for simple adjustment of “prep” and “parking” pivot
positions, even while wearing gloves
* Fits head sizes 6.25 to 8 (50 to 64 cm) approximately
The outside of the human head is lined with nerves, arteries,
and acupuncture points: applying pressure to some of these spots
can make a person feel igued. The headband of the Speedglas
welding helmet series 9100 is designed to specifically avoid
these vulnerable areas. By providing multiple adjustments and
combinations, the helmet can be tailored to fit personal
preferences and comfort settings. Less pressure, ¬ and a well
adjusted personal fit – means more comfort, all day long.
The helmet also offers greater comfort when raised. Lifted into
the raised position, the helmet’s “high point” is lower than many
other helmets. From a design standpoint, that means keeping the
helmet as close as possible to your head. Because the helmet is
more balanced, the headband does not need to be tightened as
much, helping to further increase wearing comfort. Adjustment of
the helmet is easy. The smooth up-and-down pivot action can be
“locked” in the up position – a light pull lowers the helmet back
down again.
Versatile Eye and Face Protection for Welders
Welding helmets help protect the eyes and face in numerous ways.
For starters, the helmet helps to block welding sparks and
spatter from reaching the eyes and face. The helmet also helps
protect the eyes from exceptionally bright light and rapid
changes in brightness, which can both stress and harm eyes.
Without protection, eyes can be temporarily or permanently
injured by the intensity of light produced by welding. Eyes also
have difficulty adjusting to rapid brightness changes while
welding in dark locations, which can be both a productivity and
safety issue. The helmet’s design allows for compatibility with
select disposable welding respirators, including the 3M™ 8515,
8212, 8214, 8512, and 8514 Particulate Welding Respirators, to
help provide respiratory protection for applications where metal
fumes may be present. This durable and versatile welding helmet
also meets the requirements of CSA Z94.3 and the high impact
requirements of ANSI Z87.1-2010.
