A new world of colour opens up with ESAB's ADC Plus New-Tech range of welding helmets. It isn't just the innovative fantastic looking designs that make the welders world brighter, the helmets can have extra large (XL) viewing area with ADC Plus Colour Definition.

This makes working conditions safer for the welder, since if they have an improved vision of the colours on an LED screen, to take just one example, they are more likely to make the appropriate decision.

ADC means Angular Dependence Compensation. It ensures that the shade covers the full width and height of the screen and offers the additional benefit of improved colour definition and contrast.

With the ESAB New-Tech ADC Plus range the welder can have a viewing area of 96 x 68.5mm, truly enormous and a world away from the cramped viewing areas offered by some traditional welding helmets.

The difference in the view available to the welder really is quite extraordinary. In fact it meets the standards required by 1/1/1/1 EN379. ESAB New-Tech ADC Plus simply offer the best optical quality on the market, with an even shade level across the full height and width of the viewing area.

As well as giving a better view the ADC Plus cartridge also reduces bright visible light.

There are three helmets in the ESAB New-Tech ADC Plus range, all offering superb performance and the ultimate in operator protection and comfort.


The ESAB New-Tech 6-13 ADC Plus (also available with an XL lens measuring 96 x 68.5mm) can have shade levels adjusted from DIN 6 to DIN 13, making the helmets incredibly versatile. These models have grinding modes in which the auto darkening filter (ADF) is switched off.

The 9-13 ADC Plus can have shade levels adjusted from DIN 9 to DIN 13.

The ESAB New-Tech ADC Plus range keep the welder cooler since they have silver heat reflective shells. The welder will also find making modifications simple and convenient since the control panel is external.

Adjustments available are shade (6-8/9-13), sensitivity and delay. There is also a grinding mode available.

ESAB always recommends the use of a respiratory system for maximum protection against welding fumes. New-Tech™ ADC Plus are available with Fresh Air: Air 160, Air 200 and compressed air units. These are delivered fully assembled with a flame resistant head and face seal as well as an air duct.

The helmets are light weight and comfortable. They are also competitively priced, despite the outstanding performance specification. They really are quite extraordinary and a world away from the sort of primitive welding helmet used in the distant past.
