CWPOWER-980S - Canaweld Power 980S Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet, Black, Shade 5-13

Canaweld Power 980S: Professional Auto-Darkening Protection

The Canaweld Power 980S Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional fabricators and industrial welders. Safety and compliance are paramount in any industrial setting, which is why this helmet comes fully certified with both CSA and UL approvals. This dual certification ensures that the equipment meets stringent North American safety standards, giving safety officers and welders alike peace of mind when operating in regulated environments. The helmet features a robust, lightweight shell finished in a sleek black, designed to deflect sparks and spatter while minimizing neck strain during long shifts.

At the core of the Power 980S is its advanced Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) technology. Unlike basic helmets that may struggle with complex angles or low-amperage arcs, this model is equipped with four independent arc sensors. These sensors provide redundant detection capabilities, ensuring that the lens darkens the instant an arc is struck, even if one or two sensors are blocked by obstructions like pipe fixtures or the welder's own hands. This feature is particularly critical for out-of-position welding and precision TIG work where maintaining a clear line of sight without arc flash is essential.

Versatility is a key strength of the Canaweld Power 980S. It offers a variable shade range of DIN 5 to 13, making it a true all-in-one solution for the modern workshop. The lower shade settings (5-8) are perfect for plasma cutting and oxy-fuel processes, while the higher range (9-13) provides the necessary protection for high-amperage MIG, MAG, and Stick welding. Additionally, the helmet features a dedicated Grind Mode. This allows the operator to switch the lens to a clear state for grinding and material preparation without having to remove the helmet, significantly improving workflow efficiency and keeping the eyes protected from flying debris at all times.

User comfort and adjustability are built into the design. The headgear is fully adjustable to fit a wide range of head sizes, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit that stays in place even when working overhead. With its combination of advanced sensor technology, wide shade versatility, and certified safety, the Canaweld Power 980S is an indispensable tool for welders who refuse to compromise on safety or performance.
