ESAB BRINGS STYLE TO SAFER WELDING

If you have ever wondered why welding helmets had to look old fashioned and utilitarian, then you are not alone. ESAB, the premier name in welding, has just produced a range of really stylish looking helmets, the Origo™ Tech 9-13.

The helmets (along with masks and screens) offer superior face, head, ear and neck protection.

The helmets are available in striking high gloss colours and feature the ESAB comfort headgear with a light weight shell.

Since they offer higher levels of security for the wearer, it is possible to use the Origo™ Tech 9-13 to weld in all positions.

The ESAB variable shade ADF uses the latest technology yet has proven reliability. It is screwed into a slightly curved cradle designed to seal out dangerous levels of light. The front spatter lens is also curved for extra strength and hence security.

Anyone who needs to complete a health and safety assessment will be pleased to know that the external shade adjustment varies between DIN 9 and DIN 13. This can be adjusted from inside the helmet, which is suitable for MIG/MAF, MMA and TIG (over 20 amps) welding.

The primarily black version is designated 0700 000 296 and the largely yellow helmet has the numerical identifier, 0700 000 298.

The Origo™ Tech 9-13 comes in an ESAB display box, fully assembled and ready to use.

Also available from ESAB is a comfortable, lightweight and durable battery powered respiratory unit designed to fit the Origo™ Tech welding helmets snugly.

This offers the welder clean, filtered air in even some of the most challenging welding conditions, resulting in increased comfort and safety for the welder.

The Origo™ Air comes with an eight hour battery, P3 filter, comfort pad, waist belt and an air hose with a fitted Proban hose cover.

Every Origo™ Air comes with an intelligent charger, to ensure prolonged battery life and reduce the risk of over-charging.

The battery powered air filter is also equipped with a low flow alarm, that makes a noise when it is blocked or the battery is running low.
