Optrel Panoramaxx Laser Hybrid - 1010.301

At the heart of the Hybrid model is its ability to provide certified protection both in arc welding and in manual laser welding. The helmet combines a fully automatic auto-darkening filter (ADF) with an additional fixed filter that protects against hazardous laser radiation in the 1000-1100 nm range. This lets the operator move smoothly between a TIG or MIG/MAG station and a handheld laser welder without changing face protection. It eliminates downtime and the risk of mistakes, keeping work continuous while meeting the highest safety standards. Investing in a hybrid solution translates directly into higher productivity and versatility in a fast-changing workshop environment.

Optrel's patented shell design with its distinctive cut-out around the nose places the filter cassette much closer to your eyes. This geometric innovation greatly widens the horizontal and vertical field of view, making it up to 6.3 times larger than in standard helmets. It removes the "tunnel vision" effect and gives the welder full situational awareness and a clear view around the workstation. You can position the workpiece and the torch more precisely even before you strike the arc. Such a wide view is not only about comfort but above all about more safety and control over the welding process.

ShadeTronic® technology is a fully automatic shade selection system that works like a personal assistant for the welder. A system of five advanced sensors continuously measures the intensity of the welding arc and automatically adjusts the shade in real time in the range from 5 to 13. Whether you are TIG welding at low current or MIG/MAG welding at high current, the helmet selects the right setting by itself. You no longer need to adjust it by hand and can focus fully on the quality of the weld. It is an investment in consistent, reliable eye protection and better concentration on the task.

After the arc goes out, standard helmets switch abruptly from dark to light, which can cause eye fatigue and discomfort. FadeTronic® technology changes this by brightening the filter smoothly and gradually. You can precisely set the transition time from 0.1 to 2.0 seconds to suit your preferences and the afterglow of the weld pool. This gentle change in light intensity noticeably reduces eye strain during long working hours. It is a key feature for professionals who value comfort and want to keep eye fatigue to a minimum at the end of the working day.

Comfort during long hours of work is essential, which is why the Panoramaxx Hybrid comes with the innovative IsoFit® headgear. Its design, adjustable in three planes, adapts perfectly to any head shape and size with a single knob. A cable system spreads the weight of the helmet evenly, eliminating pressure points and relieving your neck muscles. As a result, the helmet is well balanced, stable and hardly noticeable even after a full day of welding. It is an investment in ergonomics that directly means less fatigue and higher productivity.

The helmet uses a modern, eco-friendly power system based on efficient solar cells and an integrated lithium-polymer battery. Energy from the welding arc continuously tops up the battery and ensures a long operating time. If you work in dark rooms or the helmet has been stored for a long time, you can charge the battery at any time with a standard Micro-USB cable connected to any power source. This system completely eliminates the cost and hassle of regularly replacing batteries. It gives you reliability and convenience, so you can forget about power management and focus on your work.
