Auto Darkening | Draeger

Auto-darkening welding filter, fixed shade 10, for head/face protection during welding. Ensures optimal vision and automatic light adjustment.

Auto-darkening welding filter with variable shade 9–13. Enhanced safety and vision for a range of welding processes.

The Dräger Auto Darkening Fixed & Variable Shade Welding Helmet is a cutting-edge piece of protective equipment designed to provide optimal eye protection for welders and workers involved in arc welding, grinding, and other high-heat applications. This helmet features an auto-darkening filter (ADF) that adjusts the lens shade automatically based on the intensity of the welding arc, offering superior protection while ensuring a clear, unobstructed view of the workpiece.

Key Features:

• Auto Darkening Technology: The helmet is equipped with an advanced auto-darkening filter (ADF) that automatically adjusts the lens shade in response to the brightness of the welding arc. This eliminates the need to manually change the lens shade between tasks, ensuring consistent protection and convenience.

• Fixed & Variable Shade Options: Available in two types:

  • Fixed Shade: The lens shade is pre-set and cannot be adjusted. Ideal for tasks where a consistent, specific shade is required.

  • Variable Shade: The shade can be adjusted within a range (e.g., Shade 9 to Shade 13), providing greater flexibility and customization depending on the welding application and material.

• Quick Reaction Time: The helmet responds quickly to changes in light intensity. The lens darkens within milliseconds of detecting the arc, protecting the welder's eyes from harmful UV and IR radiation.

• Clear Vision in Light State: The helmet’s lens remains clear in its unactivated state (light state), allowing users to see clearly when positioning the workpiece, without the dark tint associated with traditional welding helmets.

• Adjustable Sensitivity and Delay: Many models come with adjustable settings for both sensitivity (how quickly the lens darkens based on the intensity of the arc) and delay (how long the lens remains dark after the arc is turned off). This customization ensures optimal performance for different welding techniques (MIG, TIG, Stick, etc.).

• Wide Viewing Area: The helmet typically features a large viewing window, which allows for a broader view of the welding area, reducing the need to constantly reposition the helmet for better visibility.

• Comfortable Design: The helmet is designed for extended use, featuring a lightweight shell and an adjustable headgear system. This ensures a secure fit and reduces neck strain, making it ideal for long shifts in industrial settings.

• Durability: Made from high-quality materials, the helmet is built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. It offers excellent resistance to impact, heat, and sparks, keeping the welder safe from potential hazards.

• UV/IR Protection: The auto-darkening lens provides full protection from harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays emitted by the welding arc, shielding the welder's eyes from long-term damage.

• Solar-Powered with Backup Battery: The helmet is powered by solar cells with a built-in rechargeable battery, ensuring an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution. It also features a backup battery that ensures consistent performance even when the solar power is insufficient.

Applications:

• Welding: Ideal for various types of welding, including MIG, TIG, Stick, and multi-process welding, where protection from the intense light and heat of the welding arc is necessary.

• Grinding: The helmet is useful for grinding tasks where sparks and debris are a concern, providing protection during both welding and grinding operations.

• Heavy Industry: Perfect for use in construction, shipbuilding, automotive manufacturing, and any other sector where welding is a regular activity.

• Maintenance and Repair: In industries like aerospace, power generation, and metal fabrication, this helmet provides essential eye protection during routine maintenance or repair work.

Safety and Compliance:

• Meets International Standards: The Dräger Auto Darkening Welding Helmet is designed to meet international safety standards, including ANSI Z87.1 (USA) and EN175 (EU), ensuring reliable eye protection and comfort.

• ISO 9001 Certified: Manufactured to the highest quality control standards, ensuring the helmet performs consistently and safely across different welding applications.
