Optrel Helix 2.5 Slide-Up welding helmet with hard hat - 1050.000

The unique Slide-Up mechanism lets you raise the entire optical module smoothly and in balance, uncovering a panoramic, impact-resistant protective lens. Unlike heavier and less balanced flip-up systems, the Slide-Up design minimises the load on the neck, which matters during long working hours. The system is ideal for switching frequently between welding, grinding and inspection, as you do not need to take off the whole helmet. The integrated, fully certified and removable hard hat provides complete head protection in an industrial environment. Investing in this system means top ergonomics and full compliance with workplace safety requirements.

The Helix 2.5 gives an exceptionally bright image in the light state at level 2.5, for an almost natural, tint-free view of the surroundings. This clarity is invaluable when you prepare material, position the torch or inspect the weld without raising the welding module. Combined with the patented nose cut-out, which brings the filter closer to the eyes, it creates a panoramic field of view and removes the claustrophobic feeling of "tunnel vision". This improves situational awareness and allows precise work. It is an investment in precision and visual comfort that directly affects the quality and speed of your work.

ShadeTronic® technology works like a personal eye protection assistant and adjusts the shade automatically to the intensity of the welding arc. An advanced system of five sensors continuously monitors the brightness of the arc and selects the optimum level of protection in real time in the range from 5 to 12. You do not need to adjust anything by hand when you change parameters, welding process or distance from the workpiece. The welder can focus fully on making a perfect weld, knowing that the eyes are always well protected. It is an investment in reliable protection and full concentration on the task.

FadeTronic® technology changes the way the filter returns from dark to light after the arc goes out. Instead of a sudden, tiring flash, the transition is smooth and gradual, with an adjustable time from 0.1 to 2.0 seconds. This controlled deactivation significantly reduces fatigue and strain on the eyes, which is especially noticeable during tack welding or when you strike and extinguish the arc frequently. It protects the eyes from overload caused by constant adaptation. Investing in FadeTronic® is a direct investment in eye health and working comfort, so you can work longer without feeling tired.

The patented IsoFit® headgear is designed for comfort over many hours. Its unique cable system and multi-plane adjustment let it fit the individual shape of the user's head like a cap. The weight of the helmet is spread evenly over a large area, which eliminates pressure points and greatly reduces the load on the neck muscles. Thanks to its stability and precise fit, the helmet stays in place even when you weld out of position. It is a key investment in preventing aches and pains and staying productive throughout the working day.

The helmet uses an intelligent hybrid power system that keeps it ready for work almost indefinitely. Efficient solar cells draw energy both from the welding arc and from ambient light and keep recharging the internal lithium-polymer battery. If you work in dark rooms, you can charge the battery at any time with a standard Micro-USB cable, just like a mobile phone. This removes the need to buy and replace disposable batteries. It is an economical and environmentally friendly solution that keeps the equipment reliable in typical workshop conditions.
