Speedglas Pro Top
The 3MTM SpeedglasTM ProTop, combines a safety helmet, welding shield, and auto-darkening lens. It is especially designed for welders working in areas with overhead hazards, such as cranes, protruding beams, and moving machinery.
The safety helmet meets European Standard EN397* for head protection for workers in shipyards, construction sites, mines, and other locations with overhead hazards.
SpeedglasTM ProTop System: Perfectly balanced at all times Traditional mechanisms to combine a welding shield and safety helmet merely pivot the welding shield around a fixed axis on the helmet. This unfortunately leaves the raised shield with a very high centre of gravity. As a result, the user feels off-balance, with the leveraged weight putting additional strain on the welder´s neck muscles. The raised shield is also more likely to hit low overhead clearances, making mobility more difficult.
The exclusive, double-axis welding shield/safety helmet attachment mechanism is the key to the Speedglas
ProTop system:
- The welder simply lifts the welding shield up.
- The double-axis mechanism first pivots on the axis attached to the safety helmet. When the shield becomes parallel to the ground, it begins to rotate using the second axis, which is attached to the welding shield.
- The shield moves in an arc which ends when it rests over the top of the safety helmet, securely locking into its low position.
To lower the shield, simply pull it forward to unlock it, then reverse the double-axis pivoting action until the shield is in its down position.
