4500V-0171 - ArcOne Carrera Fighting Tiger Helmet with 4500V Variable Filter

Technical Overview: ArcOne Carrera 4500V-0171

The ArcOne Carrera: Fighting Tiger Helmet W/ 4500V (SKU: 4500V-0171) represents a fusion of ergonomic shell design and reliable optical technology. This assembly pairs the popular Carrera shell—known for its ultra-lightweight profile and modern aesthetics—with the versatile 4500V auto-darkening filter (ADF). The unit is engineered for professional welders requiring a dependable variable shade lens for diverse applications including MIG, Stick, and TIG welding.

The core of this helmet is the 4500V filter. It features a variable shade range of 9 through 13, allowing operators to adjust opacity based on amperage and process intensity. The lens offers a viewing area of approximately 6.0 square inches, providing adequate peripheral visibility without the bulk of wide-view lenses. Optical clarity is maintained through high-quality liquid crystal technology, ensuring a clear view of the weld puddle. The filter includes two independent arc sensors, which provide reliable detection for standard welding arcs. Sensitivity and delay controls are user-adjustable, enabling the welder to tailor the lens response to ambient lighting conditions and specific joint configurations.

Mechanically, the Carrera shell is constructed from a durable, heat-resistant nylon blend that withstands industrial environments while minimizing weight. The 'Fighting Tiger' graphic (0171) is a high-resolution, heat-cured finish designed to resist peeling and fading under thermal stress. The helmet's suspension system (headgear) offers multiple adjustment points, including ratchet sizing and top-strap depth, ensuring a secure fit that accommodates various head sizes and shapes. The front cover plate is a standard size, simplifying inventory management for consumables.

This model also incorporates a Grind Mode, preventing the lens from darkening during material removal tasks, thereby increasing workflow efficiency by eliminating the need to switch face shields. The power system utilizes solar cells supplemented by battery backup, ensuring the lens is ready to fire immediately upon arc strike.
