Optrel Panoramaxx 2.5 + Swiss Air welding set with powered air respirator, 4600.030

The shell design patented by Optrel, with its characteristic nose cut-out, places the auto-darkening filter cassette much closer to your eyes. This innovative geometry widens the field of view dramatically and removes the “tunnel vision” effect typical of standard welding helmets. As a result, the welder gains full situational awareness of the surroundings, which translates directly into greater safety and better movement coordination. A panoramic field of view means more precise electrode positioning and excellent control over every stage of the welding process.

ShadeTronic® technology is a fully automated shade selection system that acts as the welder's intelligent assistant. Advanced sensors continuously measure the light intensity of the welding arc and, in real time and with remarkable precision, select the optimum protection level from 4 to 12. This removes the need for manual adjustment, which is inefficient when current parameters vary, for example during pulsed welding. Investing in ShadeTronic® technology means consistent, ideal eye protection and the freedom to focus entirely on the quality of your weld.

The Panoramaxx 2.5 helmet offers one of the brightest images on the market in the inactive state, reaching level 2.5. This low base shade, combined with a True-Color filter, gives a remarkably realistic and clear view of the work area before the arc is struck. You can carry out preparatory work such as positioning or cleaning without lifting the helmet. A crystal-clear view means less eye strain and a significant gain in productivity.

The IsoFit® headgear is a masterpiece of ergonomic engineering, designed for maximum comfort during long hours of work. Its three-dimensional adjustment mechanism lets you fit it precisely to the individual shape of your head with a single dial. Inner pads spread the weight of the helmet evenly, eliminating pressure points and giving a stable yet comfortable fit. Investing in advanced headgear is an investment in comfort that lets you forget the equipment you are wearing and concentrate fully on the task.

The swiss air system completely separates respiratory protection from face protection, which marks a breakthrough in the approach to PAPR systems. The lightweight filter and blower unit (just 550 g) is worn on the back in an ergonomic shoulder harness, and clean air travels through a flexible hose to a comfortable half mask. This design eliminates the extra weight and restricted head movement typical of integrated systems. Investing in swiss air means exceptional mobility and the ability to work in any position without restrictions.

At the core of the system is certified respiratory protection of the highest class, TH3, which filters out 99.8% of harmful solid particles, fumes and aerosols. Air is delivered to a special half mask made of flame-retardant material, which creates a zone of constant positive pressure around the mouth and nose. This prevents contaminants from getting in from outside and also assists breathing, reducing fatigue and providing a pleasant cooling effect. It is a fundamental investment in your own health that does not require time-consuming fit tests.

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 helmet but also with any other face shield, a safety helmet, or even on its own during grinding or inspection work. The control panel on the harness strap gives you constant access to information on the filter and battery status. Investing in swiss air means buying a universal tool that adapts to a broad variety of tasks reaching far beyond welding itself.
