| Miller introduces new welding helmet Miller Electric has introduced a new auto-darkening welding helmet inspired by the design of the Mexican Flag. Sporting a bright green metallic finish, the new helmet features bold red and white accents forming an ornamental design that scrolls around the surface. The eagle, serpent and cactus crest is dramatically framed and highlighted on both sides. The Mexican Flag helmet features Miller's new Auto-On and Grind Mode lens technology. The new Auto-On feature, eliminates the need for an on/off function; the helmet is always ready to weld, but still conserves battery life. The helmet's #4 ultra-clear 'light-state' makes setup and repositioning of hands and parts more efficient while also providing continuous UV and IR protection. A new Grinding Mode function keeps the helmet in the #4 light state and prevents darkening of the lens from grinding sparks. Other benefits include a lightweight design that increases comfort during long days of welding and a Performance Series' lens that has four independent arc sensors to provide outstanding performance in all welding processes. The Mexican Flag Elite helmet lens features replaceable batteries with solar assist for long life with no recharging required. The helmet can easily handle low-amperage DC Inverter and TIG applications and has a reaction time of 1/20,000 of a second. The Mexican Flag model comes complete with five outside and two inside replacement cover lenses, and an exclusive fatigue-reducing comfort cushion and helmet bag. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
