0700600860 - ESAB Sentinel A60 Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet, Shade 5-13

Advanced Optical Performance for Professional Fabrication

The ESAB Sentinel A60 Welding Helmet (0700600860) represents the pinnacle of auto-darkening technology, engineered for professional welders who demand precision and reliability. Building upon the success of the Sentinel A50, the A60 introduces a re-engineered Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) that achieves a perfect 1/1/1/1 EN optical clarity rating. This ensures zero distortion and a consistent shade across the entire lens, regardless of the viewing angle. The viewing area has been expanded by 40% to 4.65 x 2.80 inches (118 x 71 mm), providing a panoramic field of vision that enhances spatial awareness and weld pool control.

Central to the A60's performance is ESAB's OpTCS broad-spectrum light control technology. This True Color lens technology significantly reduces eye fatigue by allowing a more natural color spectrum to pass through the lens in both the light and dark states. The ADF offers a shade range of DIN 5-13, adjustable in precise 0.5 increments, allowing operators to fine-tune their protection for specific amperages and processes. The helmet also features a low-amperage TIG rating of less than 2 amps, ensuring reliable switching even during the most delicate precision welding tasks.

Operational efficiency is maximized through a fully digital touchscreen interface inside the helmet, which includes a bright LED display for easy reading in low-light environments. Users can store up to nine programmable memory settings, facilitating rapid transitions between MIG, TIG, and Stick processes. An external grind mode button allows for seamless switching to a Shade 3 grind state without removing the helmet or gloves. The unit is powered by replaceable CR2450 batteries with solar backup and includes four arc sensors for rapid 0.08ms switching times.

The shell is constructed from high-impact resistance nylon, designed to deflect spatter and withstand the rigors of industrial environments. The Halo headgear provides five-point adjustability, distributing weight evenly to eliminate pressure points during extended wear.
