At the heart of the visor is a unique “two-in-one” filter designed to seamlessly transition between laser and arc welding. In laser mode, the user manually adjusts the shade level from 3-8, providing EN 207 certified protection from harmful infrared radiation. When switched to arc mode, the fully automatic ShadeTronic® system is activated, dynamically selecting shading from 4 to 12. This design eliminates the need for two separate, expensive helmets. Investing in this system is a guarantee of versatility, cost savings and maximum process efficiency.

Crystal Lens technology is a breakthrough in the welder’s visual perception. Thanks to a special UV/IR filter, the visor achieves an obscuration level of just 2.5 in the bright state, which is similar to looking through perfectly clear glass. The image is not only brighter, but also has extremely realistic color reproduction, which allows for precise evaluation of the welding pool and surroundings. This is a key feature for precision TIG work and welding requiring the highest quality. It’s an investment in weld quality, less visual fatigue and higher productivity.

Optrel’s patented shell design with a distinctive nose cutout allows the filter cassette to be positioned much closer to the eyes. This simple but ingenious engineering feat dramatically expands the horizontal and vertical field of view, eliminating the claustrophobic feeling of working in a tunnel, typical of standard visors. This provides the welder with full situational awareness, facilitates torch positioning and increases overall safety on the job site. Investing in a panoramic field of view translates directly into greater precision, comfort and safety.

ShadeTronic® technology is much more than a standard automatic filter. It is an intelligent system that continuously analyzes the intensity of the welding arc using five advanced sensors. Based on this data, it selects the ideal shade level from 4 to 12 in real time and fully automatically. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment when changing current, welding method or working angle. This is a guarantee of optimal eye protection in all conditions, allowing you to focus solely on making the perfect weld.

The swiss air system completely separates respiratory protection from face and eye protection. At its heart is a lightweight filter-blower unit worn on the back that delivers clean air directly to a ventilated respirator. The respirator, made of flame-retardant material, creates a positive pressure in the mouth and nose area that effectively blocks the access of harmful fumes, dusts and aerosols. This concept provides protection at the highest TH3 level, without requiring time-consuming fit-testing. It’s an investment in health that offers maximum protection with complete versatility.

The entire system is designed to minimize the physical burden on the user. The filter unit weighs just 550 grams and is housed in ergonomic harnesses that distribute its weight perfectly on the back and shoulders. Unlike traditional PAPR systems, swiss air does not add any weight to the visor itself, which drastically reduces neck and neck strain. This allows you to work comfortably for hours without feeling fatigued. It’s a direct investment in long-term health and well-being, increasing endurance and comfort every day.
