PWH9855G4 - Powerweld Auto-Darkening Helmet 9-13 Variable Shade - Skull Chain Series

Professional Eye Protection with Precision Control

The Powerweld ADF 9-13 Welding Helmet in the "Skull Chain" series represents a robust solution for professional welders requiring reliable eye protection and versatility in a single unit. Engineered for performance, this helmet features a high-quality Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) that offers a variable shade range from DIN 9 to 13. This variability allows operators to adapt to different welding processes—such as MIG, TIG, and Stick—and varying amperage levels without changing helmets or lenses. The optical clarity is supported by a lightning-fast switching speed of 0.000033 seconds (1/30,000th of a second), ensuring that the user's eyes are shielded from the arc the instant it strikes.

Safety is paramount in the design of this helmet. Regardless of the shade setting or whether the unit is powered on, the lens provides continuous Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) protection up to shade DIN 16. This passive filtration layer ensures that harmful radiation never reaches the eyes, providing peace of mind during intermittent welding or when positioning workpieces. The unit also includes adjustable sensitivity and delay controls, allowing the welder to customize the lens response based on ambient lighting conditions and the specific requirements of the weld joint, such as tack welding or high-amperage continuous beads.

Operational efficiency is enhanced by the inclusion of an external Weld/Grind mode selector. This feature allows the operator to switch the helmet to a clear state for grinding and material preparation without removing the headgear, thereby maintaining safety compliance and reducing downtime. Weighing in at only 480 grams (16.9 oz), the helmet is designed to minimize neck strain and fatigue, making it suitable for extended use in industrial environments. The multi-adjust headgear ensures a secure and ergonomic fit for various head sizes, while the integrated magnifier lens holder accommodates "cheater" lenses for those requiring visual assistance.
