    Iron Man™ Welding Helmet Features Auto-darkening
    Lincoln Electric, Cleveland, OH, has released a new, limited edition Iron Man™ VIKING™ auto-darkening welding helmet. This solar-powered helmet joins Lincoln Electric’s 700G Series, and is decorated with authorized graphics inspired by the Iron Man™ 2 movie, and Marvel comics. The solar-powered helmet system comes with battery assistance, instead of an on/off switch, and a grind mode for weld prep and post-weld clean up. It weights 18.3 ounces, which Lincoln Electric sources say is lighter in weight than many auto-darkening helmets.

    The helmet features a substantial 3.78 x 1.85 in. (96 x 47 mm) view size with continuously variable 9 to 13 external shade control. Like all 700G Series helmets, this model is magnifying 'cheater' lens-capable. It also features continuously variable delay (0.1 to 1.0 sec.) and sensitivity, to adjust for different welding applications and environments. The Iron Man helmet comes with bonus accessories, including a free welding helmet bag and Lincoln Electric bandana.

The Spectrum 875 Auto-Line seamlessly recognizes and adjusts to any input voltage from 208 to 575 volts, single- or three-phase power, and 50 or 60 Hz, without the need for physical linking mechanisms. Auto-Line’s technology enables the unit to operate on generator power without being affected by power fluctuations while using other power tools.
