Keep the hood down
S-line welding masks come with 2- or 4-sensor auto-darkening functionality so you can keep the hood down when moving between tasks in your work area.
See clearly
The Vision+ feature creates accurate real-world visuality that makes objects in the work area easier to see for less eye strain while working.
Weld confidently
Stay focused on your work with a safe and easy-to-use welding mask from a trusted brand with decades of experience making welding equipment.
Essential protection, enhanced welding mask performance
Essential ADF welding mask
Equipped with 2 or 4 sensors, S-line helmets provide auto-darkening filters that adjust the lens shade in response to welding arcs, allowing welders to keep their hoods down between tasks.

Safety that keeps up with welders' challenges and changing risks
Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.
