AUTO-DARKENING FILTERS

Independent arc-detectors instantly sense the
welding arc, immediately triggering the
Speedglas filter to change from the light state
to the dark state.

Safety Products That Help Increase
Your Performance

Now welders can see their work, at comfortable
light levels, with constant eye and face protection.
Speedglas filters turn dark the moment an arc is
struck and transparent again when welding
stops–all the time with full UV/IR protection.

Auto-darkening eliminates the neck-strain of
“helmet nodding” while helping increase the
accuracy of electrode placement.

This, in turn, reduces the need for grinding and
rework. In addition, welders can get into tight,
cramped spaces with full protection and have a
clear view, making extremely awkward welds a
lot easier.

FILTERS AND HELMETS

The revolutionary 3M™Speedglas™Helmet 9000
features patented aerodynamic exhaust vents that
help to remove exhaled air.

Welders experience lower humidity, less heat, and
reduced “stuffiness.” The welder’s natural
breathing action directs the exhaust airflow; no
moving parts are involved. Fresh, incoming air is
not drawn through the special vents; instead, it
chooses the path of least resistance—the area
around the welder’s neck, which is typically further
away from the smoke plume.

A Welding Helmet
that Breathes!

Exhaled air is directed through the four aerodynamic
vents. It then exhausts through two thin openings
created between the double-shell construction of the
heat-reflecting silver front panel and the black helmet.

FILTERS AND HELMETS

3M™SideWindows Helmets Improve
Visibility, Safety and Comfort

3M™Speedglas™SideWindows Helmets allow for
peripheral vision. The two shade 5 side f ilters
increase the peripheral viewing area by over 100%.

SideWindows f ilters allow welders to see
potentially-hazardous peripheral objects, such as
protruding beams, vehicles, and other welders,
with the helmet down.

SideWindows also permit welders to easily move
around their work area with constant protection
from UV/IR radiation.

The two side filters are designed solely for
peripheral vision; the welder continues to view his
own arc through the center (auto-darkening) filter.

AUTO-DARKENING FILTERS

An Entry-Level
Auto-Darkening
Filter and Helmet:
Utility

3M™Speedglas™Utility
Filter and Helmet

Our most affordable auto-darkening filter! The
Speedglas Utility is especially designed for MIG
(GMAW) and stick (SMAW) welding only.

The Speedglas Utility is perfect for the serious
part-time welder, as well as for maintenance
welding on farm equipment, automobiles, and
any other MIG or stick project. Two f ilter models:
dark shade 10 or 11.

It’s the affordable auto-darkening filter and helmet.

AUTO-DARKENING FILTERS

A Filter for Multiple
Arc Welding Processes:
9000F

3M™Speedglas™Filter 9000F
and Helmet

Do stick, MIG, and most TIG welding
processes with one filter!

The 9000F (“F” for “Fixed” dark shade) provides
improved performance, greater ease-of-use, and
remarkable optical clarity. Available in three
factory-set dark shades: 10, 11 or 12.

Plus, all Speedglas helmets 9000 have four exhaust
vents for reduced stuffiness (see page 8).

9000XF

3M™Speedglas Filter 9000XF
and Helmet

For welders that want a really big view...
the 9000XF (“X-tra Large, Fixed Dark Shade”).

It’s larger than most auto-darkening filters, with
outstanding optical clarity and very low angle
dependency.

The 9000XF can also be used on all stick and
MIG and most TIG processes. Available in three
factory-set dark shades: 10, 11 or 12.
