K3039-3 - Lincoln Electric VIKING 3350 Terracuda Auto-Darkening Helmet

Precision Optics for Professional Fabrication

The Lincoln Electric VIKING 3350 Terracuda Welding Helmet (K3039-3) represents the pinnacle of welding safety and optical performance. Designed for the professional fabricator who demands precision, this helmet is part of the renowned 3350 Series, which is celebrated for its blend of comfort, durability, and superior lens technology. At the core of this helmet is Lincoln's proprietary 4C Lens Technology. Unlike traditional auto-darkening filters that impart a lime-green tint to the view, 4C technology (Clarity, Color, Carat, Cut) provides a true-color view of the arc and puddle. This reduces eye strain and allows for better control over the weld pool, leading to higher quality welds and less rework.

The K3039-3 boasts a perfect 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating according to the EN379 standard. This rating signifies zero blur, zero distortion, consistent shade across the lens, and consistent shade at angles. Combined with an expansive 12.5 square inch viewing area (3.74" x 3.34"), operators have a complete field of vision, enhancing safety and situational awareness in complex industrial environments. The helmet is equipped with four independent arc sensors, ensuring reliable switching from light to dark in 1/25,000 of a second, even when welding out of position or at very low amperages (TIG rated down to 2 amps).

Comfort is critical for productivity, and the VIKING 3350 addresses this with the innovative X6 Headgear. This suspension system distributes weight evenly across six contact points, alleviating pressure on the forehead and back of the head. The helmet also features an external grind button, allowing the user to switch between weld and grind modes without removing the helmet or lifting the front, streamlining workflow in high-paced shops.
