The best welders deserve the best equipment and when it comes to choosing a helmet, Sentinel is it – with ergonomic headgear, supreme comfort, intuitive controls, and crystal-clear visibility.

STREAMLINED SHELL DESIGNSentinel’s streamlined shell design is not too big and not too small, accounting for a range of different head sizes and shaking up the aesthetics at the same time. The flush exterior also minimises extrusions, so nothing catches when working in a tight space.

ERGONOMIC HALO™ HEADGEARSentinel was built with a focus on ergonomics. The five-point-contact headgear is adjustable, so the weight of the helmet can be shifted around the head, which reduces pressure and increases comfort.

SPHERICAL FRONT COVER LENSThe sweeping design allows more natural light to get ultimately increasing visibility and clarity. Sentinel also comes with two lenses: a clear lens and a yellow lens, each of which is quickly and easily replaceable.

HYPERVISIBLE LCD CONTROL PANELSentinel features a full-color LCD touchscreen panel. This premium display will increase clarity for welders, and its intuitive controls and easy-to-use functions make clever technology simple.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE AUTO-DARKENING FILTER (ADF)Sentinel redefines visibility for the welder with its high optical class ADF, allowing for a brighter view and enhanced colour definition.

Sentinel’s ultra-clear true-colour lens gives you a realistic view of your weld.

RESPIRATORY OPTIONSSentinel comes in two versions. There is the standard helmet (Sentinel A50) and the air version (Sentinel A50 Air), which has hoses and connections ready to fit ESAB’s range of powered air respirators.

THE HIGHEST DEPOSITION SUB ARCESAB’s patented ICE (Integrated Cold Electrode) technol-ogy introduces a cold electrode into a twin-wire Sub-merged Arc Welding (SAW) process, increasing deposition rates by up to 50 percent over standard twin-wire SAW. A typical system features the Aristo 1000 AC/DC power source and a carrier like a Column & boom or the Gantrac 300 gantry system and with filler metals like BlockPacs of OK 10.62 flux.

ESAB’s flexible, modular gantry and column & boom systems offer a totally integrated solution that includes welding process, manipulator movement and control of third axis products like the ESAB roller beds or position-ers. ESAB’s modular design concept allows total customi-sation using standard components.

HIGH-PERFORMING TRACTORS AND WELDING HEADSFor mechanised single, twin wire or tandem SAW and GMAW, consider the A2 or A6 tractors with PEK process controller. The built-in feed unit provides an even, stable wire feed speed while four-wheel drive ensures an ac-curate travel speed. Automated carbon arc gouging can also be performed with the A2 Multitrac and PEK process controller. A digital control panel allows users to pre-set and accurately control the welding parameters. ESAB also has a full line of welding heads for many different processes and applications. For example SAW with single, twin, tandem and multiwire, GMAW heads, SAW compact heads for confined spaces and strip cladding heads for SAW and ESW.

AUTOMATED GMAW WELDINGESAB offers different tractors to automate GMAW welding when using standard welding torches, including the com-pact, battery-driven Miggytrac and the robust Railtrac, which is constructed with aluminium and stainless steel to minimise problems associated with harsh environments. Railtrac uses 42V AC power from the power source or a standard Makita® 18V battery. It can work in horizontal and vertical applications and can be programmed for weaving. Both systems connect easily to most ESAB wire feeders and torches.
