Better welding helmets
19 January 2018
ESAB Welding and Cutting Products has introduced new Sentinel A50 Air high-performance automatic welding helmets.

This expands the offering following the introduction of the Sentinel A50 welding helmet earlier this year. The Sentinel A50 Air incorporates a PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) unit.
The Sentinel’s radical design incorporates ergonomic headgear and maximum adjustability to increase productivity, functionality and usability. The Sentinel A50’s high-tech features include an almost infinitely adjustable 5-point headgear, a 100 x 60mm viewing area, an externally activated grind button, a colour touch screen control panel and a front-loading convex cover lens that comes in different colour options and changes in 10 seconds.
“The technology involved mirrors the technology we use everyday, such as on our smart phones,” Guy Shelverton, global product manager, ESAB, said. “Operators can now use this technology to make their lives easier and more productive in the workplace.”
