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.
