3M Speedglas Helmet 9100 with Auto Darkening Filter 9100XX - 06-0100-30SWThe comfort of the Speedglas 9100 helmet is the result of extensive research and development processes. We consulted with international experts in ergonomics and anatomy to ensure that we would produce the most comfortable and protective welding helmet ever.
Professional welders marvel at the stability and balance of the helmet in all positions - up, down or anywhere in between, the new pivot location keeps leveraged forces to a minimum. With our new patented head suspension we avoid pressure on vulnerable nerves, arteries and acupressure points; areas that might cause pain or discomfort if they are set under pressure for a period of time.
Welders are delighted to see all the filter options: A grinding shade 3. Gas welding shade 5. Micro-plasma welding shade 8.
Arc welding shades 9 through 13. Sensitivity settings for normal welding to low-amp inverter TIG welding, and even low sensitivity setting for when other welders are working nearby. More versatility, greater optimization… and more user satisfaction
Viewing Size: 2.8" x 4.2", Total area: 12.11 sq. in.
Speedglas 9100 Helmet Features
- The helmet is made from a lightweight, but durable material that meets the mechanical strength requirements of EN 1 level ”B” and
ANSI Z8 .1- 00 .
- SideWindows: Exclusive, patented shade filters that widen
your field of vision. SideWindows enable you to be more
aware of nearby moving machinery, tools and other peripheral
hazards. The helmet is available with or without SideWindows;
welders can also use removable cover plates for when
peripheral vision would be distracting
- Heat reflecting silver front.
- The patented ‘breathability’ design has been updated to more
efficiently direct exhaled air out of the helmet. The result is
reduced fogging of the welding filter and reduced build-up of
heat, moisture and stale air within the helmet.
Speedglas 9100 Headgear Features
- Working with medical experts, we mapped out the vulnerable
areas of the head and avoided them with our new head
suspension design. Then, we created a design that better cradles
the head. As a result, you do not need to tighten the headband
as much as you do on conventional headbands to firmly hold the
helmet on your head.
- Feedback from professional welders lead us to research ways
to further reduce the possibility of neck strain. Our answer was:
reduce strain on the neck by reducing the static and dynamic
loads. From a helmet design standpoint, that means keeping
the helmet as close as possible to the head. By lowering the
pivot point to just above your ears, the helmet stays as close
as possible to the top of your head when in the up position. In
essence, we’ve shortened the length of the ‘lever’ to help reduce
forces on your neck muscles.
Speedglas 9100X Cartridge Features
- Viewing Size: 2.8 x 4.2", Total area: 12.11 sq. in.
- There are seven dark shade settings to choose from:
shade 5 for gas welding/cutting and shade 8 for micro-plasma
and low amp TIG welding as well as variable dark shades of
9 to 13. If needed, you also have the option to lock-in your
shade, including the light state (shade 3) for grinding.
A patented comfort mode for tack welding helps to reduce eye
fatigue resulting from the eye constantly adjusting to differing
light levels
- The ‘tack welding comfort mode’ uses
an intermediate light state (shade ). If
a follow-up arc is not struck within two
seconds, the welding filter switches to
the normal light state (shade ). The
comfort mode may help reduce eye
fatigue resulting from the eye constantly
needing to adjust to differing light levels
during tack welding.
- Magnification made easy. The new magnifying lens holder,
on the inside face of the welding helmet, makes lens
installation easier and more adjustable.
- Conforms to ANSI Z8 .1- 00 and CSA
Z9 . - 00 for eye and face protection.
