The Tweco Dragon Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet (SKU: 41001008) represents a fusion of robust safety features and ergonomic design, tailored for professional welders who demand reliability and comfort. At the core of this helmet is a high-performance Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) equipped with four independent arc sensors. This quad-sensor array ensures superior arc detection, significantly reducing the risk of flashing even when the arc is partially obstructed or when welding at low amperages. With a lightning-fast switching speed of 1/30,000 of a second (33 microseconds), the lens transitions from its light state (DIN 4) to the selected dark shade (DIN 9-13) almost instantaneously upon arc initiation.
Visibility is paramount in precision welding, and the Tweco Dragon delivers with a generous viewing area measuring 3.86 inches by 1.69 inches (98mm x 43mm). This expanded field of view allows operators to maintain better spatial awareness of the weld puddle and the surrounding workpiece. The helmet also features comprehensive adjustability; users can fine-tune sensitivity and delay settings to match specific welding processes and environments. The delay control offers three distinct settings—Short (0.25s-0.35s), Medium (0.35s-0.50s), and Long (0.50s-0.80s)—allowing the weld puddle to cool sufficiently before the lens lightens.
Designed for all-day wear, the helmet weighs a mere 16 ounces (450 grams), making it one of the lighter options in its class. This reduction in weight helps minimize neck fatigue and strain during extended welding sessions. The headgear is fully adjustable, featuring a three-position pivot point to optimize the helmet's balance and fit. Additionally, the unit is solar-powered, drawing energy from the welding arc and ambient light, which eliminates the downtime and expense associated with battery replacements. Certified to ANSI Z87.1, CE EN 379, and EN 175 standards, the Tweco Dragon provides certified protection against UV/IR radiation up to DIN 16.
