The outer protective lens is the first and most important line of defense for the heart of the visor – the self-darkening cartridge. Made of high-quality polycarbonate, it is designed to absorb impact energy and withstand extreme temperatures. It effectively protects the delicate surface of the ADF filter from hot welding spatter, sparks and scratches from grinding work. This protective layer is an intentional wear element to prevent permanent and costly damage to the cartridge itself. Regular replacement of this glass is a key and cost-effective service practice that directly affects the life and reliability of the entire visor. This is a fundamental investment in protecting your advanced equipment.

The quality of the weld pool’s vision is directly dependent on the condition of the outer protective glass. Any scratches, tarnishing or pitting from splatter causes light scattering, which leads to image distortion, reduced contrast and visual fatigue. Optrel’s original glass is manufactured to the highest optical standards, guaranteeing a crystal clear image without any distortion. This preserves the full performance of the True Color technology used in the filter, allowing precise control of the welding process. Keeping the glass in perfect condition is essential for proper assessment of weld quality and working comfort. It’s an investment in the precision of your work and the health of your eyes.

The visor has been precisely contoured to perfectly fit Optrel’s p550, p530 and p505 series visor shells. The precise size and shape guarantee a perfect fit and full seal, preventing fumes, dust and unwanted sidelight from entering the visor. The kit includes appropriate mounting components, such as metal fasteners or specialized double-sided tape, which ensures that the visor is firmly and securely seated in the helmet body. This eliminates the risk of the glass accidentally falling out during operation. By choosing an original component, you can be sure that the protection system remains integral and operates in accordance with factory safety standards.
