3M Speedglas has launched three welding shields: the 9100 Air (respiratory), the 9100 FX (flip-up) and the 9100 FX Air (flip-up/respiratory) models.
The flip-up versions feature a clear 17x10cm protective visor. Its new curved geometry combined with the visor’s curvature allows for clear field of view in up, down, and 170° side-to-side directions.
The clear visor is suited for grinding or precision weld preparation under low light conditions and provides high impact and optional powered or supplied air respiratory protection. The new shields are compatible with the premium Speedglas 9100 auto-darkening welding lenses, including the 9100XX, which is 85% larger than a standard sized Speedglas 9100 welding lens.
All welding shields within the Speedglas 9100 range are compliant to Australian Standard AS/NZS 1337.1 for high impact and feature variable dark shades 5, 8, 9-13, as well as a grind mode and a tack mode.
