AUTO - DARKENING FILTERS

Introduction to Auto-Darkening Welding Filters (ADF’s)

Independent arc-detectors instantly sense the welding arc, immediately triggering the Speedglas filter to change from the light state to the dark state.

Now welders can see their work, at comfortable light levels, with constant eye and face protection. Speedglas filters turn dark the moment an arc is struck and transparent again when welding stops–all the time with full UV/IR protection.

Auto-darkening eliminates the neck-strain of “helmet nodding” while helping increase the accuracy of electrode placement.

This, in turn, reduces the need for grinding and rework. In addition, welders can get into tight, cramped spaces with full protection and have a clear view, making extremely awkward welds a lot easier.
