Speedglas, Welding Equipment in a Class of its Own:

Speedglas released the first auto welding helmet ever and continues to set the benchmark in professional welding helmet technology.

Welding PPE Made in Sweden:

All Speedglas auto darkening welding helmets are made in Sweden with every lens still checked by hand.

Five Levels of Protection for Welders

Head, Eye, Face, Respiratory and Hearing protection for welders.

A Safety Helmet for Welding

The welding safety helmet is made from heat-resistant polycarbonate and conforms to Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS1801 for head protection.

Protection from Welding Fume

Super comfortable welding mask face seal follows the contours of both the helmet and the face to provide a positive pressure seal from pollutants. The exclusive airflow pattern evenly distributes filtered air throughout the entire breathing zone of the welder.

Huge Clear & Curved Grinding Visor

A smooth flip-up function reveals a huge 170x100 mm clear grinding visor with 180 degree vision.

3M Speedglas True-View

Speedglas True-View has literally changed the way welders see, making what you see through the lens appear lighter, more detailed and colourful.

Largest Viewing Area Available:

The huge Speedglas 9100XXi lens combined with the Speedglas peripheral SideWindows gives you the largest viewing area available on the market.

Speedglas SideWindows

Previously hidden peripheral hazards (beams, obstacles and other workers) are now visible through two, shade 5 side lenses (conventional shade 13 protection).

Unrivalled Welding Arc Detection and Switching

Photo-sensors capable of detecting an arc down to an industry-leading 1 amp with centre sensor for TIG applications.

All Applications with Multiple Modes

With shades 3, 5, 8, 9-13 and multiple mode settings you can weld, cut, grind and tack, indoors and outdoors even with a completely hidden arc.

Auto-On

With Auto-On your welding helmet is instantly ready to weld; programmed to your last used welding setting.

Compliant with all relevant Australian & New Zealand Standards

Compliant with Australian & New Zealand Standard AS/NZS1337.1 (high impact face protection), AS/NZS1338.1 (eye protection), AS/NZS1716 (respiratory protection), AS/NZS1801 (head protection) and AS/NZS1270 (optional hearing protection)

The Signature Speedglas Silver Front

The silver front on a Speedglas auto-darkening welding helmet is not just a design feature, it also reflects heat from the weld keeping you cool and comfortable.

Magnification Lens Holder

Built-in holder for magnifying lenses makes attaching the lens easier and optimises the position for better vision.

Speedglas Welding Equipment is a long term investment

All Speedglas 9100 lenses have custom designed multi-function programmed logic chips that minimise the number of discrete surface-mounted components; leading to improved reliability and longevity.

Industry Leading Warranty Protection:

Speedglas 9100 features a revolving three year warranty. Experience a problem with the helmet in the first three years and your 3 year warranty protection starts again. Speedglas helmets are built to last.

The 3M™ Adflo™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR)

Synonymous with welder’s respiratory protection

One of the most popular PAPR’s in the world, the award-winning Adflo welding respirator has become synonymous with welder’s powered air protection and provides increased protection and comfort all day long.

Because you only have one pair of lungs

The Adflo PAPR provides a required minimum protection factor of 50 for mechanically and thermally generated particles and conforms to Australian & New Zealand Standard AS/NZS1716 (respiratory protection).

Exclusive airflow pattern

The exclusive airflow pattern evenly distributes filtered air throughout the entire breathing zone of the welder. The intelligent powered air respirator keeps the airflow rate at a constant level. A diffuser spreads out the airflow pattern for your maximum comfort.

One Hour Rapid Charge Battery with Long Life

The new Speedglas lithium-ion battery charges from 0-80% of its full capacity in approximately one hour and lasts approximately 8-10 hours depending on conditions. Indicators assist the welder in knowing when to change the filters and to charge the battery.

Slim Profile & Super Light

On body respiratory protection allows for full-mobility and the slim profile makes the 3M Adflo perfect for use in tight spaces. The powered respirator system has recently been reduced in weight by a further 15%.

Self-Adjusting Breathing Hose

The Quick Release Swivel (QRS) allows for one handed connection and release. The self-adjusting length means the hose is always kept close to the welder to prevent snagging on surrounding objects.

Stackable protection from welding particles and gases

With the right type of filter, the Adflo respirator can effectively protect against welding fume, particles and gases - an important welding safety feature.

Standard & Airflow Plus

The airflow is always a constant nominal rate of 170 litres per minute regardless of the Adflo battery’s charge or the particle loading of the filter. For hot, humid jobs, you can increase the airflow to 200 litres per minute to reduce fatigue and increase your overall comfort.

Industry Leading Warranty Protection:

This 3M respirator features a revolving two year warranty. Experience a problem with the system in the first two years and your 2 year warranty protection starts again. Speedglas helmets and Adflo PAPR systems are built to last.

    The Effectiveness of Welding Fume Product Controls

    The Effectiveness Of Welding Fume Product Controls

    There are countless scientific studies that conclude that welding fume is bad for health, yet there seem to be very few that can give us practical guidance on how to effectively control welding fume exposure. Studies have done an effective job of defining the problem; however, few have been able to identify and compare the relative effectiveness of available product control solutions. Until now!

    Protecting Welders Against Ozone

    Protecting the Welder from Ozone – An Australian Scientific Study

    Ozone (O3) is an extremely toxic gas that is generated when ultraviolet radiation produced by the welding arc reacts with oxygen, which can cause serious health issues to unprotected welders. The main objective of this study was to understand the levels of ozone that an unprotected welder may be exposed to across a variety of common welding processes and whether a Welding Helmet with a Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) was an effective control in protecting the welder from exposure to ozone.
