Optrel’s patented shell design with a distinctive nose cutout allows the automatic filter cassette to be placed much closer to the eyes. This innovative geometric solution dramatically expands the field of vision, eliminating the “tunnel vision” effect typical of standard visors. As a result, the welder gains full situational awareness of his surroundings, which directly translates into increased safety and better motor coordination. Investing in a panoramic field of view is a guarantee of more precise positioning of the electrode and excellent control over every stage of the welding process.

ShadeTronic® technology is a fully automated shade selection system that acts like an intelligent assistant to the welder. Advanced sensors continuously measure the intensity of the welding arc light and in real time, with extreme precision, select the optimal level of protection from 4 to 12. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment, which is ineffective at varying current parameters, such as during pulse welding. By investing in ShadeTronic® technology, you are assured of constant, ideal eye protection and the ability to focus fully on the quality of the weld being performed.

The Panoramaxx 2.5 visor offers one of the brightest images on the market in the inactive state, reaching a level of 2.5. This low base darkness, combined with the True-Color filter, provides an extremely realistic and clear view of the work area before the arc is engaged. This makes it possible to perform preparatory work, such as positioning or cleaning, without having to lift the visor. Investing in a crystal-clear image means less eye fatigue and a significant improvement in productivity.

The IsoFit® neckstrap is a masterpiece of ergonomic engineering, designed for maximum comfort during long hours of work. The system consists of a three-dimensional adjustment mechanism that allows for a perfect fit to the individual shape of the head with a single dial. Internal cushions distribute the weight of the visor evenly, eliminating pressure points and ensuring a stable yet comfortable fit. An investment in an advanced visor is an investment in comfort that allows you to forget about the gear you’re wearing and fully concentrate on the task at hand.

The swiss air system completely separates respiratory protection from facial protection, a breakthrough in the approach to PAPR systems. The lightweight filter/blower unit (just 550 g) is worn on the back in an ergonomic harness, and clean air is delivered through a flexible hose to a comfortable half-mask. This design eliminates the extra weight and head movement restrictions typical of integrated systems. An investment in swiss air is an investment in unparalleled mobility and the ability to work in any position without restriction.

At the heart of the system is certified respiratory protection of the highest TH3 class, which filters 99.8% of harmful particles, fumes and aerosols. Air is supplied to a special respirator made of flame-retardant material, which creates a zone of constant positive pressure around the mouth and nose. This prevents the intrusion of contaminants from the outside, and further aids breathing, reducing fatigue and providing a pleasant cooling effect. It’s a fundamental investment in your own health that doesn’t require time-consuming fit-testing.

The modular design of swiss air makes it the most versatile respiratory protection system on the market. It can be used not only with a dedicated Optrel visor, but also with any other face shield, protective helmet, or even on its own during grinding or inspection work. The control panel located on the brace provides constant access to information about the status of the filter and battery. Investing in a swiss air system means buying a versatile tool that will adapt to a wide range of tasks far beyond just welding.
