Optrel Panoramaxx Hybrid CLT PAPR helmet for laser and arc welding - 4441.882

Crystal Lens technology gives the filter a brightness in the inactive state that welding had not seen before: just 2.5. In practice this means an almost perfectly clear, colour-neutral image, close to looking through a clean pane of glass. Combined with the highest possible optical class 1/1/1/1, the technology gives you accurate perception of colours and details before, during and after welding. You can control the weld pool precisely and inspect the weld straight away without lifting the helmet. Investing in CLT technology is a direct investment in work quality, less eye strain and fewer mistakes.

Instead of enlarging the filter cassette, Optrel engineers used a patented nose cut-out that brings the filter ergonomically closer to the eyes. Following basic principles of optics, this greatly widens the perceived field of view, making it up to 6.3 times larger than in standard helmets. It completely removes the "tunnel vision" effect and gives the welder full situational awareness and a clear view of the area around the workplace. It is a key investment in safety and productivity, allowing precise manoeuvring and full control of the process.

The Panoramaxx Hybrid CLT is a versatile "two-in-one" tool designed for modern workshops that handle varied work. The helmet has a dedicated, manually adjustable laser welding mode with a shade range of 3-8, providing certified EN 207 protection. For conventional arc welding it has a fully automatic ShadeTronic® mode working in the 4-12 range. This dual function removes the need for two separate helmets and streamlines the workflow. It is an investment in versatility and in readiness for future technical challenges, such as the growing popularity of handheld laser welding.

An advanced system of five sensors constantly monitors the intensity of the welding arc and passes the data to the intelligent ShadeTronic® controller. Acting like an autopilot, the technology automatically and smoothly selects the optimum shade level in the range from 4 to 12, without any action from the user. Whether you weld TIG at low current or MIG/MAG with high parameters, the helmet gives you the right protection. It is an investment in safety and comfort that lets you concentrate fully on producing a perfect weld.

The IsoFit® headgear is a multi-plane support system that redefines comfort. Thanks to a cable mechanism operated with a single knob, the headgear adapts precisely to the individual shape of your head, like a second skin. The weight of the helmet (795 g in the PAPR version) is spread evenly over the whole contact surface, which greatly reduces the load and pressure points on the neck and nape. It is a basic investment in health and well-being, allowing many hours of productive work without feeling tired.

The e3000X air supply system, with which the helmet is fully compatible, provides the highest possible level of respiratory protection (class TH3 according to EN 12941). This means that the high-efficiency particle filter captures as much as 99.8% of the harmful fumes, dust and aerosols produced during welding. The flow of clean air creates a zone of constant positive pressure inside the helmet, which effectively isolates the welder's breathing zone from the contaminated environment. This is not an expense but a key investment in your own health and in being able to stay in your trade for many years.

The e3000X system offers three-stage airflow control at 170, 210 and 240 litres per minute. This lets you match the air supply precisely to the intensity of the work and the ambient conditions. The highest airflow setting (240 l/min) not only delivers the maximum amount of clean air but also creates a noticeable cooling effect on the face and forehead. This is a real advantage when working at high temperatures, during preheating or when welding with high current. Investing in this system means investing in thermal comfort, which translates directly into less fatigue and higher productivity.
