Modular design is the cornerstone of Optrel’s product philosophy, enabling independent replacement of key visor components. In case of mechanical damage to the shell, for example, as a result of a fall from a height, there is no need to incur the cost of purchasing a whole new unit. It is enough to replace the shell itself, repositioning the fully operational, most expensive component of the kit – the auto-darkening cartridge (ADF). This approach significantly reduces the maintenance and service costs of the equipment in the long run. This is a smart investment in minimizing operating expenses and maximizing the life of the entire security system.

The featured shell is designed for maximum versatility, offering full compatibility with Optrel’s wide range of professional self-shading cartridges. It fits flagship models in the Sphere series, such as the e684, e680, e670 and e650, as well as cartridges known for their revolutionary field of view, the Vegaview 2.5 and Crystal 2.0. This versatility gives the welder the freedom to upgrade their equipment or use an existing filter in a new, undamaged shell. An investment in such a versatile platform is the certainty of flexibility and the ability to adapt equipment to future needs without replacing the entire system.

The shell is made of an advanced plastic composite, carefully selected to meet the requirements of the welding environment. This material is characterized by high resistance to elevated temperatures, protecting the welder’s face from heat radiation and hot spatter. At the same time, it provides excellent mechanical protection against impacts, which is crucial for safety in workshop and industrial conditions. The robust design guarantees a long service life even under heavy use. It’s a fundamental investment in safety and reliability, providing the first line of defense against hazards on the job site.

The product is supplied as a complete kit, which significantly simplifies and speeds up the repair or installation process. The package includes not only the shell itself, but also a factory-installed, ergonomic Optrel Comfort headgear, which guarantees optimal weight distribution and comfort during long hours of work. Also included is the ADF cartridge attachment mechanism (excentr) and a new outer protective glass. As a result, once the ADF filter is repositioned, you get a fully functional, ready-to-work visor. This is an investment in convenience and saves time, eliminating the need to order many small parts separately.
