282002 - Miller Digital Performance '64 Custom Auto-Darkening Helmet

Advanced Optics and Digital Precision

The Miller Digital Performance Welding Helmet '64 Custom (SKU: 282002) represents a significant step forward in personal protective equipment for professional fabricators. Engineered for mid-range applications that demand high-end features, this helmet integrates Miller's proprietary ClearLight™ Lens Technology. This advanced optical system optimizes contrast and clarity in both welding and light states, allowing operators to see the weld puddle with greater definition and true-to-life color. By eliminating the artificial green tint found in traditional auto-darkening filters, ClearLight™ reduces eye strain and improves overall weld quality.

Versatile Operating Modes

Designed to adapt to a variety of industrial environments, the Digital Performance series features three distinct operating modes: Weld, Cut, and Grind. The digital interface allows for precise control over shade, sensitivity, and delay settings. In Weld Mode, the shade range is adjustable from #8 to #13, suitable for MIG, Stick, and TIG applications. Cut Mode offers a shade range of #5 to #8, ideal for plasma cutting and oxy-fuel processes. The dedicated Grind Mode locks the lens in a light state (#3.5), providing clear visibility for material preparation without the need to flip the helmet up. With a low-amperage TIG rating of 5 amps, this helmet is sensitive enough for precision arc work.

Ergonomics and Durability

Weighing only 17 oz (482g), the '64 Custom is constructed from a durable nylon shell that withstands high impact while minimizing neck fatigue during prolonged use. The redesigned headgear offers extensive adjustability, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for various head sizes. The helmet is equipped with three arc sensors that provide a rapid switching speed of 1/20,000 second, ensuring immediate protection the moment an arc is struck. Power is supplied by two lithium batteries with solar assist, offering an operational life of up to 3,000 hours. Meeting ANSI Z87.1+ standards, this helmet combines safety, comfort, and performance in a distinct '64 Custom graphic package.
