Auto-darkening helmet offers precise control

New from ESAB is the Aristo Tech 5-13 auto-darkening helmet.

Conforming to CE, ANSI, AS/NZS and CSA standards, the Aristo Tech helmet features the latest digital lens technology, with an internal LCD display and precise control over the shade level (DIN 5 to 13), sensitivity (eight levels) and delay (0.1 to 3.5s). Adjustments to the shade and sensitivity levels are made using controls on the outside of the shell, which are easy to operate even when wearing gloves.

A new Quick Set shade-change facility means that with one click of the switch the setting is changed by one increment, or the switch can be held up or down to make multiple changes. Grind Mode is activated automatically at the lowest sensitivity setting, and full protection is provided against ultraviolet and infrared radiation at all shade settings.
