3MH70-0715-1019-5 - 3M Speedglas 9100 Scratch-Resistant Outside Cover Lens (10-Pack)

Premium Protection for Speedglas 9100 Series Optics

The 3M Speedglas Outside Protection Plate 06-0200-52 is a critical consumable designed to safeguard the integrity of the Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) in Speedglas 9100 Series welding helmets. This specific iteration features a specialized scratch-resistant coating, distinguishing it from the standard 06-0200-51 model. This hard coating significantly enhances the plate's durability against abrasive particulates, wiping, and incidental contact, making it an ideal choice for industrial environments where equipment is subjected to rigorous daily use.

Maintaining the optical clarity of a welding helmet is paramount for both safety and weld quality. As the first line of defense, the outside protection plate absorbs the brunt of welding spatter, sparks, and radiant heat. Over time, standard plates can become pitted or clouded, obscuring the welder's view and potentially triggering sensor malfunctions on the ADF. The 06-0200-52 mitigates this degradation through its enhanced surface hardness, ensuring a longer service life per plate and reducing the total cost of ownership over time.

This product is supplied in a pack of 10, providing facility managers and procurement officers with a convenient bulk solution to keep welding teams operational without interruption. Compatibility is broad within the 9100 family; these plates fit the standard 9100 shell, as well as the 9100-Air, 9100-FX, and 9100-MP assemblies. Whether the helmet is equipped with a 9100V, 9100X, or 9100XX filter, this outside plate is the correct external shield. Regular replacement of these plates is a manufacturer-recommended maintenance procedure to ensure the helmet meets ANSI and CSA impact standards and to preserve the warranty of the internal electronic components.

By investing in genuine 3M Speedglas consumables, users ensure that the optical class of the helmet remains uncompromised. Generic replacements often lack the precise dimensional tolerances or the optical quality of OEM parts, leading to distortion or fitment issues that can allow spatter to bypass the seal and damage the expensive ADF unit. The 06-0200-52 offers the perfect balance of protection, longevity, and optical performance.
