AWS releases 3M auto-darkening welding helmets

AWS Pty Ltd announces the launch of the new Speedglas Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet Series 9100XXi from 3M.

Based on 30 years of 3M expertise, the top-of-the-line Speedglas series sets a new benchmark in welding helmet technology and is designed for professional welders who require optimum comfort, trusted protection and ultimate performance.
3M Speedglas 9100XXi series auto darkening welding helmets feature the largest Speedglas welding lens available, which when combined with the peripheral Speedglas Side Windows gives welders the largest viewing area amongst all similar welding helmets currently available in Australia and New Zealand.
The Speedglas Welding Helmet Series 9100XXi combines Speedglas’ proven comfort and performance with the new True-View, Grab-and-Go, One-Touch and Set-and-Forget features.
The new Speedglas True-View welding lens 9100XXi offers greater degree of definition and natural colour while shades of blue and red as well as contours and edges are more visible due to improved welding lens optics.
The new Grab-and-Go motion detector senses movement and instantly activates the welding lens to the last used welding setting. A One-Touch external button activates grind mode while another quick push reactivates the auto-darkening welding settings.
The new Set-and-Forget feature allows welders to pre-set their most frequently used welding helmet settings. By holding down the external button, welders can seamlessly switch between different welding applications without having to reset the welding helmet. Each memory mode has an individual setting for dark shade, switching sensitivity and dark-to-light delay, enabling the welder to switch to the desired setting in a matter of seconds.
The new 3M Speedglas Welding Helmet Series 9100XXi is also available with flip-up functionality, head protection, hearing protection as well as powered or supplied air respiratory protection.
