APPLETON, WI — In response to customer demand for a welding helmet that can better withstand high amperage, high heat applications, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. created the Titanium Elite™ auto-darkening helmet, a new addition to the Arc Armor line of welding safety products. Introduced today, the Titanium Elite directly addresses the problem of heat buildup in welding applications that require 300 amps or more, conditions that can affect the lens performance of standard auto-darkening helmets and make it uncomfortable for the welder. The Titanium Elite — the newest member of Miller’s Elite Series of auto-darkening helmets — reflects the high heat, keeping it away from the operator, and features an aluminum heat shield to protect the auto-darkening lens. A shock absorbing gasket, which adds durability and protection from drop impact in hard welding environments, also surrounds the lens.
  The Titanium Elite helmet features four independent arc sensors that respond in 1/20,000 of a second, large 9-square- inch viewing area and standard Auto On/Auto Off and Grind modes. Weighing just 20-ounces, the Titanium Elite helmet is lightweight and comfortable and includes five outside and two inside replacement cover lenses, a Miller exclusive fatigue reducing comfort cushion and helmet bag.
  Product Manager quote: “Increasing numbers of our customers in industrial high heat welding applications were looking for auto-darkening helmets as a way to increase efficiency and productivity. We responded by developing the Titanium Elite. This helmet represents the ultimate level of protection, durability and wearer comfort.” Eric Sommers, product manager, Miller Electric Mfg. Co.
  Additional features include:
  • Variable shade (8-13) sensitivity and delay;
  • Excellent low amperage TIG (5 amps);
  • Quick release front cover lens assembly;
  • Battery powered with solar assist.
