Ensure reliable eye safety during fiber laser fabrication. Engineered for 1060nm–1090nm wavelengths.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $193.07 (inc GST) — $175.52 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 4 today, and up to 300 more in 22–23 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10495:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10495:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The xTool 1080nm Auto-Darkening Laser Welding Helmet is a professional-grade safety solution specifically engineered for high-power fibre laser welding. Unlike standard welding masks, this helmet features specialised filtering for the 1060nm to 1090nm wavelength range, providing an essential shield against the invisible but hazardous infrared radiation emitted during laser metal processing.

When working with the xTool MetalFab or similar fibre laser systems, standard arc welding helmets fail to provide adequate Optical Density (OD) protection, leaving people at risk of permanent retinal damage. This helmet solves that critical safety gap by offering OD 8+ protection, allowing you to monitor your weld with complete confidence and safety without the need for fixed, opaque enclosures.

Engineered for all-day comfort and technical precision, the unit features a high-definition 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating and a lightweight 560g chassis. The integrated true-colour technology ensures you see the workpiece in its natural state, while the 180-degree flip-up design and adjustable three-way headgear make it a seamless part of your workshop workflow.

### Features

- **Prevent permanent eye damage** with industry-leading OD 8+ shielding specifically rated for 1060nm–1090nm fiber laser wavelengths.
- **Achieve flawless weld beads** through a 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating that delivers a distortion-free, true-colour view of the molten pool and surrounding metal.
- **Maintain maximum visibility during prep** by using the dedicated "Grind Mode" (Shades 5-9), optimised for the specific brightness levels of laser-material interactions compared to traditional arc welding.
- **Ensure total hardware compatibility** and maintain your warranty by using official xTool OEM parts designed specifically for the MetalFab ecosystem.
