Tecmen TM1000 Flip Front Welding Helmet W/ Hard Hat

Tecmen TM1000 Hard Hat Welding Helmet

A high quality, well built flip front welding helmet pre-integrated with a hard hat. If you have to wear a welding helmet and a hard hat at the same time, but you want a superior lens as found in an ESAB Sentinel A60 or an Optrel Crystal, and you don't want to pay an excessive price, this is the product for you. 

The TM1000 includes a large true color auto darkening lens with a perfect 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating. The lens has the ability to auto-adjust the shade level in real time based on the arc. This feature is especially popular with TIG welders, as the helmet will stay in synch with the arc as you use the foot pedal amperage control. The lens can be flipped up to reveal a large grind shield, which is perfect for grinding, fitting, and other non-welding tasks. 

There are two ultra-clear auto darkening lens options available for this helmet; the 950D digital ADF, and the 950T variable color lens. The 950T has the ability to change the color tone of the lens, while the 950D has a Bluetooth app and the ability to save settings to memory. The 950T has a shade level of 3.0 in the light state, and a maximum shade level of 13 in the dark state. The 950D has a shade level of 2.5 in the light state, and a maximum shade level of 15 in the dark state. The two options are otherwise identical.

This helmet is pre-integrated with an EN397 hard hat, but the hard hat can be interchanged with other options that use the standard slot connection point on the side of the helmet. If you would like help with this process, just let us know. How near/far the welding helmet is from the face and the tilt angle can be modified to suit user preference and ensure integration with different hard hats. The welding helmet portion can be quickly removed or re-installed with no tools required. The entire helmet can be flipped up and down, or just the grind shield. 

Features of Tecmen Lens:

Auto-Shade Adjusting Smart Mode: Say goodbye to manual adjusting of shade level. With smart mode, the ADF monitors the arc in real time, and automatically adjusts shade level by the millisecond to stay in synch with the arc. This greatly enhances clarity of the weld puddle when TIG welding, as the helmet micro-adjusts shade level as amperage is adjusted mid-weld This feature is also a big plus for PAPR applications, as the hood does not need to be removed when making drastic amperage changes.

Tack-Weld Optimized Mix Mode: When welding in mix mode, the ADF has a longer and more gradual return from dark to light state which greatly reduces eye strain when tack welding or stitch welding, especially in high amperage applications. When welding in mix mode, the return to the light state has three phases: delay from dark to intermediate shade, gradient phase (this is when you would re-ignite your arc), delay from intermediate shade to light state.

Dark Mode: Makes the helmet function as a fixed shade passive lens. This is ideal for situations in narrow spaces where sensors are obstructed, welding with extremely weak arcs, or when multiple welders are nearby.

Weld Mode: If you want to use your helmet the same as any standard auto-darkening helmet, this is the mode for you. Shade levels are adjustable in half shade increments from 9.0-15.0, which makes it suitable for welding at all amperage ranges. Sensitivity is adjusted from 0-5, and delay from 0-10.

Flip-Up Grind Shield Switch between welding and non-welding tasks by flipping up the lens to reveal a large grinding shield. This is ideal for those that perform a full spectrum of metal fabricating tasks, and not just welding.

Perfect 1/1/1/1 Optical Clarity Rating: The 950D ADF achieves a perfect score across all optical clarity metrics. There is absolutely nothing that could be improved on, optical clarity is perfect with no visible distortion.

XL True Color Viewing Area: With a 107 x 75mm (4.21" x 2.95") viewing area, and epic true color experience, this lens will have you wondering how you survived on your old helmet for so long. The lens offers a super low shade level of 2.5 in the light state, which means weld seams and surroundings will be crystal clear. In the dark state the true color lens ensures stark contrast between the work, the weld puddle, and the arc which ultimately results in superior welds.

Shade 5 Side Windows: Stay aware of your surroundings with tinted side windows. Retaining visibility and awareness of your surroundings is a critical safety feature, especially in high traffic environments, or applications where you are surrounded by other welders. Welders need to know when it is safe to take the hood off without getting flashed. Blackout covers are included in the box for those that prefer total darkness in the hood. 

High Visibility Digital Controls: Settings are changed with buttons that can be pressed while wearing welding gloves, and settings are clearly displayed on a high resolution color display. This is valuable for old tired eyes, and low light situations, as it nearly eliminates the likelihood that a user applied incorrect settings due to old worn dials with small, hard-to-read numbers.

Bluetooth App (950D Only): Connect to your lens using the Smart ADF app. The app can be used to switch between weld, grind, cut, smart, and mix mode without having to remove your helmet. It can also be used to adjust shade level, sensitivity, delay, and store settings to memory. The app is especially handy for PAPR applications where removing the helmet to change settings can be annoying.

Memory Mode (950D Only): Quickly and easily save and recall your preferred settings to one of three memory slots. Save time when switching jobs or tasks. Multiple users can store their own settings when using the Smart ADF app.

Dual Color Function (950T Only): Choose between a whitish or greenish screen tone while welding. This is ideal for welders that work on multiple materials, utilize multiple welding processes, and operate in a variety of lighting conditions as the color tone can be changed to maximize contrast between the work, arc, and puddle.
