ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced the Aristo Tech HD welding helmet, a high-definition, auto-darkening helmet designed for the professional welder and for use in all welding processes. “The Aristo Tech HD helmet is reliable and has the highest optical clarity available, a large 3.93 x 2.36 inch (100 x 60mm) viewing area, and new TIG+Mode for lowamperage GTAW(TIG)welding,” said a company spokesperson. “The lightweight design with fully adjustable headgear and new matte carbon finished shell provides comfort and durability in a modern style.”
The next generation of ESAB’s Aristo Tech design, the Aristo Tech HD helmet has a 0.47 inch (12 mm) increased viewing area for wide visibility and better spatial awareness. An optical class of 1/1/1/1 is designed to deliver high optical performance and provide more clarity of the weld and increased definition of the weld pool through an advanced LCD.
“An automatic shade darkening filter (ADF) and variable DIN 5 to 13 digital lens technology gives the welder full control to adjust shade level, sensitivity and delay settings with precision for any application or welding process,” said the spokesperson. “Angular dependence compensation (ADC) technology ensures a consistent shade level even when viewing the lens at an angle. Additional flexibility is provided by the external controls, which allow settings to be changed without removing the helmet. A grinding mode offers the versatility to use the helmet as a grinding shield for weld prep or weld clean up requirements.”
ADF lens technology offers electromagnetic arc sensing that automatically reacts to the magnetic field of the arc, eliminating interference from sunlight or other electrical/electronic equipment.
“ESAB’s new TIG+mode provides superior performance for low Amp TIG applications,” said the spokesperson. Using electromagnetic arc sensors in the active TIG+ mode, the Aristo Tech HD helmet is able to operate below 5 Amps in TIG welding applications.
“The full-coverage shell provides protection from dangerous UV/IR radiation, heat and spatter in a lightweight design that weighs 15 . 8 ounces (450g), considerably lighter than comparable welding helmets,” said the spokesperson. “The helmet’s unique matte carbon rubberized finish is durable and highly resistant to cuts and scratches.
“ESAB’s Aristo Tech HD helmet is engineered for comfort even when worn for extended periods. Fully adjustable comfort headgear and a well-balanced design ensure an easy to- wear, customized fit,which helps reduce welder strain and fatigue. A soft and absorbent sweat band offers added comfort.”
