Optrel Helix 2.5 with swiss air system - “Ready to Weld” kit - 4600.140

The innovative “slide-up” design is the key feature of the Helix series and changes the working ergonomics of a welder fundamentally. With one smooth movement you can raise the entire auto-darkening filter module and uncover the large panoramic protective visor underneath. This lets you move instantly from welding to grinding, cleaning or weld inspection without taking off the whole helmet. The integrated protective hard hat keeps your head protected all the time, which is essential on construction sites and in industrial plants. The slide-up mechanism is a direct investment in saving time and cutting out unnecessary breaks in your work.

The Helix 2.5 is fitted with an advanced filter that offers a clarity level of 2.5 in the light state. This is one of the brightest values available on the market and gives an almost natural, crystal-clear view of the surroundings and of the workpiece you are preparing. Such clear vision makes precise torch positioning, marking out and all preparatory work much easier, while keeping eye fatigue to a minimum. Compared with standard filters, working with such a bright view is far more comfortable, especially during tasks that last many hours. A helmet with a filter this bright means greater precision and less strain on your eyes every day.

ShadeTronic® technology works like an intelligent autopilot for your eyes. Using advanced sensors, the system continuously analyses the intensity of the welding arc and automatically selects the optimum shade level in real time, in the range of 5 to 12. You no longer need to readjust by hand when you change process, current or distance from the workpiece. The welder can concentrate fully on making a perfect weld, knowing that the eyes are protected exactly as the current conditions require. ShadeTronic® is an investment in uncompromising safety and better focus on the task.

The swiss air system redefines respiratory protection by separating it from face protection. At its heart is an ultra-light (550 g) blower and filter unit, worn on an ergonomic harness, which delivers clean air to a ventilated half mask. The half mask, made of flame-retardant material, creates positive pressure around the mouth and nose and effectively keeps contaminants out. Importantly, the system does not require a tight face fit (fit test), which makes it ideal for people with facial hair and gives exceptional comfort with no feeling of pressure. It is an investment in freedom of movement and health protection that does not limit your choice of face protection.

Welding fumes are classified as carcinogenic, so respiratory protection is an absolute priority. The swiss air system provides the highest possible level of protection, class TH3 according to EN 12941, filtering as much as 99.8% of harmful solid particles, fumes and aerosols. The constant, adjustable airflow not only protects your lungs but also has a pleasant cooling effect and prevents fatigue, so you can work longer and more productively. A control panel on the harness lets you monitor the filter and battery status at any time. It is a fundamental investment in your own health that lets you work safely for many years.
