The 3M Speedglas Auto-Darkening Filter 9100XX (Part Number 06-0000-30) represents the pinnacle of welding lens technology designed for the 9100 series helmets. Engineered for professional welders who demand superior optical clarity and a broad field of view, this filter significantly enhances weld puddle control and overall situational awareness. With an expansive viewing area measuring 2.8 inches by 4.2 inches (approx. 73mm x 107mm), the 9100XX is the largest filter in the standard 9100 lineup, offering nearly double the viewing area of the standard 9100V model.
This filter is built for versatility across a wide range of industrial applications. It features seven variable dark shades: shade 5 for gas welding and cutting, shade 8 for micro-plasma or low-amp TIG, and variable shades 9 through 13 for standard MIG, TIG, and Stick welding processes. The light state is a clear Shade 3, which provides excellent visibility for grinding and pre-weld setup without the need to flip the helmet up. The optical classification of 1/1/1/2 ensures minimal distortion and consistent shading across the entire lens surface.
Technically, the 9100XX is equipped with three independent arc sensors that provide reliable detection even when the arc is partially obstructed. It boasts an impressive low-amp TIG rating, capable of switching reliably at amperages as low as 1 amp. Users can customize the lens response with five sensitivity levels and a delay function that adjusts the opening time from dark to light, reducing eye fatigue from the afterglow of high-amperage welds. Powered by two CR2032 lithium batteries with solar assist, the unit delivers approximately 2,000 hours of operation.
