0700102044 - ESAB Swarm A30 True-Color Auto-Darkening Helmet Shade 9-13

Professional Grade Protection with ESAB Swarm A30

The ESAB Swarm A30 Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet (0700102044) represents a significant leap forward in accessible, high-performance personal protective equipment for industrial welders and fabricators. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern manufacturing and repair environments, the Swarm A30 combines advanced optical technology with a robust, lightweight shell. At the core of this helmet is its Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF), which boasts an impressive CE Optical Class rating of 1/1/1/2. This rating guarantees minimal distortion and uniform shading, providing the welder with a crystal-clear view of the work area, which is critical for maintaining precision during complex welding tasks.

Versatility is a key component of the Swarm A30's design. It covers a wide range of welding processes, including SMAW (Stick), MIG/MAG, and TIG applications. The shade range is adjustable from DIN 9 to 13, accommodating various amperage levels and arc intensities. Additionally, the helmet features a passive shade 4 state and a dedicated grind mode, accessible via an internal switch. This functionality allows operators to switch between welding and surface preparation tasks without the need to remove the helmet or change PPE, thereby improving workflow efficiency and safety compliance on the shop floor.

Reliability is ensured through the integration of four independent arc sensors. These sensors provide redundant detection capabilities, ensuring the ADF reacts instantly—within 0.08 milliseconds—to the arc strike, even in obstructed or out-of-position welding scenarios. The unit is powered by a replaceable CR2450 battery, supplemented by a low-battery indicator LED, ensuring that the equipment is always ready for operation. Weighing in at just 520 grams (1.1 lbs), the Swarm A30 minimizes neck strain, making it an ideal choice for full-shift operations in heavy fabrication, automotive repair, and construction industries.

The helmet's streamlined design not only deflects sparks and spatter effectively but also allows for better maneuverability in tight spaces. With fully adjustable delay and sensitivity settings mounted internally, users can customize the lens response to their specific environment, whether working indoors under artificial light or outdoors in variable conditions. The ESAB Swarm A30 is the smart choice for MRO professionals seeking reliable, high-clarity protection.
