Clear view of weld pool

13 April 2015

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced the Aristo Tech HD welding helmet, its first auto-darkening helmet with an optical class of 1/1/1/1, which indicates the highest optical performance possible according to the rigorous EN 379 Standard.

 

ESAB says that welders will immediately notice greater clarity of the weld and increased definition of the weld pool, which helps them achieve more accurate results while reducing eye strain, especially when welding for long periods.

 

The Aristo Tech HD features an advanced LCD lens with a 100 x 62mm  viewing area – 12mm larger than the previous lens. ESAB’s new X-TIG mode provides superior performance when TIG welding down to 5 amps. In the X-TIG mode, the helmet uses electromagnetic arc sensors that automatically react to the magnetic field of the arc. This eliminates interference from sunlight or other electrical/electronic equipment, and ensures that the helmet darkens when the sensors are blocked, such as when welding pipe or in awkward positions. 

 

A grind mode is activated at the lowest sensitivity, so operators don’t have to shift between the helmet and a face shield and safety glasses when grinding.

 

The grind mode also works well for plasma and oxy-fuel cutting. The helmet’s digital lens technology gives the welder full control to adjust shade (5 to 13), sensitivity and delay settings with precision for any application or process. The Aristo Tech HD weighs 515g (18 oz.) and features a unique matte carbon rubberised finish (the most robust finish available) that is highly resistant to cuts and scratches.
