Description
The all-new Speedglas™ G5-01 TW Welding Helmet with the V-500E Supplied Air Regulator offers superior protection against welding fume. The G5-01TW welding helmet is an upgraded version of the 9100 FX Air, and offers a stack of new technology including a 15% larger grinding visor, climate control, 50% longer battery and improved comfort.
New and Improved Version of a Legendary Helmet!
The new G5-01 TW Welding Helmet effectively improves upon all the signature elements of the hugely popular 9100 FX Air, as well as offering a stack of new technology. The result is a feature-packed, upgraded version of the longtime market leading welding helmet!
Highly Effective Respiratory Seal
The G5-01 face seal creates a reliable positive pressure respiratory seal around the contours of the helmet and face to prevent exposure to airborne pollutants like welding fume. From there, the helmet’s exclusive airflow pattern evenly distributes clean, filtered air throughout the welder’s breathing zone.
Larger Curved Grinding Visor and Removable Welding Shield
The clear, curved grinding visor pioneered by the Speedglas 9100 FX Air has been upgraded! At a massive 170x104mm, the G5-01 high impact grinding visor is 15% larger than the FX Air. The welding visor can also be seamlessly detached for extended non-welding applications, reducing the helmet weight by over 35% in the process!
Larger Field of View with Elite Optics
Enjoy a clearer, more expansive view of your welds and workspace with the extra-large 73 x 109mm viewing area in the G5-01 TW! This wider view combines with legendary Speedglas True-View optics for a lighter, brighter, more realistic and detailed view that needs to be seen to be believed.
Tack Welding Mode for Smooth Dark-Light Switching
Tack Welding involves rapid transitions from dark to light to dark again, which over time can cause strain and damage in the human eye. The G5-01 TW welding lens offers an intermediate shade 5 when switching from dark to light, minimising eye strain and ensuring more comfortable welding overall. If an arc is not struck within 2 seconds, the lens switches back to its shade 3 light state.
Adjust Helmet Airflow with Climate Control
For added comfort during long shifts in hot environments, Climate Control lets you adjust the direction and amount of airflow coming into the helmet: from the top or sides, towards your face or visor, or somewhere in between. These adjustments can be made while keeping your helmet, and therefore your eye, face and respiratory protection, in place at all times.
Extra Head and Neck Coverage
The G5-01 TW provides the option to configure your head and neck protection to maximise your coverage in hard wearing environments. This extended range of head and neck covers includes fluorescent yellow for high visibility, leather for increased durability, and a selection of different sizes.
Slimline Helmet Profile with Increased Coverage
With the Speedglas G5-01TW, you can experience the best of both worlds. On the one hand, the helmet has a slimmer design than its predecessor, the 9100 FX Air. And this more streamlined, ergonomic profile actually increases the coverage across the welder’s ears, head, and neck!
Bluetooth Connectivity and Memory Modes
A Bluetooth enabled welding lens is truly a game changer, allowing you to cycle through lens settings remotely while maintaining your respiratory protection throughout. You can also program up to four memory modes for easy access to your preferred, most frequently used settings.
Hours of Powerful Lighting
For work in poorly lit spaces, welders have the option of upgrading their G5-01 TW Welding Helmet with a task light specifically designed for welding. Powered by the Adflo battery, this task light offers hours of powerful lighting with configurable light intensity to cater to your surroundings.
#1 Brand in Welder’s PPE
Trust in a brand can’t be built overnight. Speedglas has become established as the leading brand in welder’s PPE by never compromising their trusted formula, with every helmet still made in Sweden, and every welding lens still checked by hand.
Industry-Leading Arc Detection and Auto On
The 4 photo sensors in the G5-01 TW lens have the ability to detect an arc down to an industry leading 1 amp. Moreover, thanks to Auto On your welding helmet is instantly ready to weld (and programmed to your last used welding setting) the second an arc is struck.
Highest Optical Rating
The Speedglas G5-01 TW is fully compliant with the Australian & New Zealand Standard for eye protection (AS/NZS1338.1) and gives the welder the highest possible optical classification (1/1/1).
Suitable for Multiple Applications
The G5-01 TW lens is designed to adapt to all welding applications, with an extensive shade range (3/5, 8, 9-13). What’s more, you have multiple mode settings at your disposal so you can weld, grind, cut and tack, indoors and outdoors – even with a completely hidden arc.
Compliant with Australian & New Zealand Standards
The Speedglas G5-01 TW fully complies with the Australian & New Zealand Standards for high impact face protection (AS/NZS1337.1), eye protection (AS/NZS1338.1) and respiratory protection (AS/NZS1716).
Improved Ergonomics & Comfort
With perfect weight distribution and dual comfort paddles, the new and improved G5-01 head harness is designed to avoid sensitive areas and allow for complete customisation to your head. An extra-large back pad is available to further optimise comfort.
Built-In Magnification Lens Holder
Magnifying lens holder ensures smooth lens attachment and optimal alignment for precision viewing.
A Long Term Investment
Each Speedglas G5-01 helmet contains a multi-function programmed logic chip that has been custom designed to minimise the number of discrete surface-mounted components. This in turn leads to increased reliability and longevity.
Revolving 3 Year Warranty
A Speedglas G5-01 TW welding lens features a revolving three year warranty. Speedglas helmets are built to last, so if you do experience any problems with your welding helmet in the first three years, your 3 year warranty protection will reset.
The 3M™ Versaflo™ Supplied Air Regulator (SAR)
Constant Flow of Clean Air
The lightweight, belt mounted V-500E supplied air regulator seamlessly adapts to hot and strenuous welding conditions with high airflow rates of 170 to 305 litres per minute.
Elite Protection from Airborne Pollutants
In accordance with the Australian & New Zealand Standard for respiratory protection (AS/NZS1716), the 3M V-500E regulator provides a Required Minimum Protection Factor (RMPF) of 100+ for mechanically and thermally generated particles like carcinogenic welding fume. This means the welder is supplied over 100 times cleaner air than they would otherwise breathe unprotected.
Clean Air Evenly Distributed
To maximise comfort, the airflow pattern of a Speedglas respiratory helmet is designed to evenly spread the flow of filtered air throughout the entire breathing zone of the welder. This effect is achieved via a diffuser that distributes clean air all around the helmet.
Breathing Air Filtration
The supply of compressed air must be free of oil, mist, water vapour or non-toxic, unpleasant odours to conform to the relevant safety standards (AS/NZS1716). As such, these are removed by a breathing air filtration system, connected to the V-500E regulator through a breathable air hose. For more information, please consult the brochure or contact AWS.
Breathing Tube with Quick Release Swivel (QRS)
A self-adjusting quick release breathing tube allows for one handed connection and release, and ensures the hose is kept close to the welder without catching on surrounding objects.
Regulator Noise at Safe Level
The V-500E Regulator includes both an integrated low flow warning whistle and a silencer. These work in tandem to bring the regulator’s noise level to less than 65 dBA, which equates to the volume of a typical conversation.
