North Bethesda, MD. – Further advancing its industry-leading Sentinel™ automatic welding helmet technology, ESAB a world leader in fabrication technology, today launched its new Sentinel A60. Compared to the Sentinel A50, the new Sentinel A60 offers a 40 percent larger viewing area that measures 4.65 x 2.80 in., an optical quality rating of 1/1/1/1 for a distortion-free view and ESAB’s new OpTCS™ broad-spectrum light control technology and True Color view for a clearer distinction between the arc, the weld puddle, and heat-affected zone.
Sentinel A60 also adjusts shade in half-point increments from shade 5 to 13. A total of 18 different shade levels cover every shade needed for welding and cutting, from oxy-fuel and plasma cutting to low-amperage TIG to high-amperage welding with large electrodes. An external Grind Mode button maintains a passive shade of 3 for fit-up or grinding, eliminating the need to lift the hood or switch it out for a grinding shield. Four arc detection sensors provide a switching time of 0.8 milliseconds, so an operator will never be caught off guard by a co-worker’s arc or when welding out-of-position. The new Sentinel A-60 also adds a Shade Lock feature, allowing the ADF to remain in the darkened state while this feature is activated.
“When we launched the Sentinel A50 at FABTECH 2017, its radical design and performance disrupted the PPE market,” said Olivier Biebuyck, President, EMEA, and Global Products, ESAB Corporation. “With the Sentinel A60, we continue to prove that ESAB leads the market with automatic helmet technology that helps improve welding results and operator satisfaction, demonstrating our commitment to developing innovation anchored in serving customer needs.”
“Sentinel A60 combines a superior optical experience with productivity-enhancing benefits,” says Kevin Beckerdite, Global Product Manager – PPE, ESAB. “The wider view creates more spatial awareness prior to welding. The superior optics help welders keep the weld puddle centered in the joint, keep the electrode on the leading edge of the puddle, position a cutting torch more accurately and do it all while reducing eye fatigue.”
The Sentinel A60 is designed with ESAB’s signature rounded, low-profile shell for better clearance in tight areas and more protection from light and sparks. Sentinel A60 improves operator comfort with its five-contact-point Halo™ headgear, which better distributes helmet weight and offers hundreds of thousands of fit adjustments. At 1.4 lbs., the Sentinel A60 weighs just 1/7 of an ounce more than the previous model, an impressive engineering feat because the auto-darkening filter (ADF) cartridge is the heaviest item on a helmet.
Now available globally, Sentinel A60 certifications include the following: CE: EN175; EN379; EN166; ANSI: Z87.1; CSA: Z94.3; AS/NZS 1338.1; and ISO 16321. Internal warning lights alert the operator of grind mode, low battery, and ADF shade lock. The Sentinel A60 comes with two replaceable CR 2450 lithium batteries with solar backup, and a large outer protective lens is available in high-contrast clear and amber tints.
