Technology details
ShadeTronic® Technology, Fully Automatic Protection
ShadeTronic® technology, also known as Autopilot, is an intelligent system that analyses the brightness of the welding arc in real time and automatically selects the right shade over a broad range from 5 to 14. You no longer need to reset the filter by hand when you change welding process, current or working position. The system responds precisely to all conditions and provides optimum eye protection without taking the welder's attention. This technology guarantees continuous, reliable protection and lets you focus fully on the precision of the weld.
True-Color View, See the Weld in Its True Colours
The cartridge uses an advanced True-Color optical filter that gives you almost natural colours, unlike standard filters with a green tint. This way of seeing significantly improves the visibility of details in the weld pool, material edges and layout markings. It gives you more control over the welding process and less eye fatigue during long hours of work. True-Color technology translates directly into higher quality work and reduced eye strain.
FadeTronic® (Twilight Function), Smooth Brightening for Eye Comfort
The FadeTronic® function changes the way the filter returns to the light state after the arc goes out. Instead of an abrupt brightening, which can cause momentary dazzle and discomfort, the technology provides a smooth, gradual transition from dark to light. The process is matched to the natural response of the human eye to a change in light, which significantly reduces eye fatigue. It is a key investment in working comfort, especially when you make many tack welds and short welding cycles.
