Auto-darkening shield launched
February 1st 2009 Following consultation with welders,
3M, has introduced its Speedglas
9100 welding shield that aims to be
one of the safest and most
ergonomically advanced personal
protective systems to date.
Deep and wide, the new shield
provides good coverage of the neck,
ears and sides of the head. The
adjustable, suspended head cradle
changes the interface between the
welder's head and the suspension
system. Multiple adjustment options
have been added and there is a
reduction in the static and dynamic
loads of the neck.
Weight is evenly distributed to
sets of twin pads and a headband
that together fit the exact shape of
the head. This reduces pressure on
the skull, enabling the helmet to be
worn comfortably for extended
periods.
Auto-darkening filters provide
uniform shading and minimal
distortion across the viewing area.
Seven dark shade settings are offered. More articles from 3M UK Plc: |
