Advantages

Sectors where this visor is required

• Metal fabrication and boilermaking: alternating welding and grinding on large parts, weld bead dressing, weld finishing. The large transparent window reduces unnecessary head movements and improves productivity.

• Construction and infrastructure: grinding rebar, sanding metal surfaces, heavy maintenance work. The bag of 5 enables effective management of spare visor stock on multi-crew job sites.

• Industrial and mechanical maintenance: repairs on in-service machines, existing weld cleanup, torch cutting. The wider compatibility with 9100, 9100 FX, 9100 FX-Air and 9100 MP models makes it a versatile stock reference.

• Industrial renovation work: partial demolition of welded structures, metal parts cutting, surface preparation for hard-facing. The extended field of view improves cut control and operator safety.

Maintenance and service life

Inspect the visor before each shift. Replace as soon as isolated pitting in the central field of view, contrast-altering scratches or impact-induced cracks are detected. A slightly damp lint-free cloth is sufficient for daily cleaning. Never use solvents or abrasive products.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What is the exact compatibility of this visor?

The 06-0700-54 visor is compatible with Speedglas 9100, 9100 FX, 9100 FX-Air and 9100 MP helmets. It offers broader compatibility than the 06-0700-51, making it an ideal choice when multiple helmet models are used on the same job site and a single spare visor reference is desired.

Can I use this visor for tasks other than grinding?

Yes. The 06-0700-54 visor is suited for grinding, sanding, torch cutting, deburring and assembly work. It replaces the transparent protection on the helmet when the auto-darkening filter is in transparent mode or raised. Do not use it as primary protection during electric arcs without the auto-darkening filter in active position.

How do I distinguish a worn visor from one still in service?

Hold the visor in front of a uniform light source and examine the central field. Deep pits create visible distortion points. Significant scratches produce stray reflections that compromise detail vision. Micro-cracks caused by impacts may evolve into sudden fracture. Replace without hesitation as soon as any doubt arises about the mechanical strength of the visor.
