THE BEST VIEW IS
PANORAMAXX
All over the world, welders have
asked and Optrel has listened
and provided solutions. Optrel
innovations protect customers in
many different industries such as
automotive, shipbuilding, oil and
gas, chemical/petrochemical, metal
fabrication, energy fabrication,
construction and engineering,
maintenance, art, d-i-y and leisure
activities.
Optrel’s brand new Panoramaxx
helmet is the most innovative and
ergonomic helmet available on the
market to date, and represents
a ‘step change’ in the level of
comfort, visibility and function for the
welding industry. The Panoramaxx
helmets unique lens design offers
a massive expansion of the field
of view for the welder, up to six
times that of most other helmets
on the market. This is achieved
by a unique and patented design
allowing the lens to be positioned
in close proximity to the
eyes. This large increase
in visibility is achieved
while also increasing
comfort levels and
decreasing the weight
to extremely low levels
using cutting edge
materials and technology.
The light state of 2.5, which
is a world first combined with the
expansive viewing area makes it feel
like looking out a large window at an
expansive landscape.
The true colour optics opens an
entirely new visual dimension,
allowing welders to see the full
colour spectrum and realistic colour
renditions in all environments.
Professional welder worldwide are
posting rave reviews after experiencing
the brightness, clarity and
expansive vision. Optrel’s Vegaview
2.5 helmet also offers the 2.5 super
light shade in open state, improving
the welders view by up to 400%
versus other helmets with an open
light state of 4.0.
The new E684 welding helmet from
Optrel continues the innovation, and
closes the gap between man and
machine, so that both can perform
at their best and maximise speed
and efficiency. The revolutionary
“Autopilot” function included on the
E684 is based on a newly developed
sensor concept, which measures
the brightness of the welding arc
and automatically adjusts the shade
level.
Now welders can concentrate fully
on their work without interrupting
the welding process, even when
the welding parameters change.
The result is outstanding productivity
without compromising quality
and concentration. The e684 is the
only fully automated welding helmet
with protection level 5 to 13 on the
market and it pushes conventional
auto darkening welding helmets
into the realm of semi-automated
protection gear. In addition, the e684
boasts further innovations that make
it a must-have for any professional
welder.
