Optrel crystal 2.0 welding set with swiss air powered air system - 4600.040

Crystal Lens Technology (CLT) is a breakthrough in how a welder sees. A special UV/IR filter lets a much wider colour spectrum through, so the light state reaches an unprecedented clarity level of 2.0. In practice the view is almost as bright and natural as through an ordinary protective lens, so you can check material preparation properly without lifting the helmet. During welding the technology shows the colours of the weld pool very faithfully, which is critical when you weld demanding materials. Investing in CLT means investing in precision, fewer errors and much less eye strain.

ShadeTronic® technology works like a fully automatic pilot for your eyes. A set of advanced sensors continuously measures the intensity of the welding arc and selects the right shade between 4 and 12 in real time, with no input from you. You no longer have to guess and turn the dial when you change the welding current, the process or the position. The system adapts to the conditions, so your eyes are always protected with the right shade. This translates directly into higher efficiency and full concentration on making the perfect weld.

FadeTronic® is a patented technology that controls how the filter returns from the dark to the light state. Instead of a sudden switch to light, which can dazzle you for a moment and strain your eyes, the filter lightens smoothly and gradually. You can adjust the length of this transition to suit your preference and the afterglow of the workpiece. The feature is especially useful for series tack welding, where frequent darkening and lightening cycles can lead to fatigue. It is an investment in working comfort that spares your eyes unnecessary stress.

The swiss air system completely rethinks respiratory protection by separating it from face protection. At its heart is a lightweight (550 g) filter and blower unit worn on the back, which supplies clean air to a special half mask made of flame-retardant material. Constant positive pressure inside the mask actively pushes harmful dust, fumes and aerosols away and keeps them out of the breathing zone. This design needs no time-consuming fit tests and provides the highest protection level, TH3. It is an investment in your health that ensures clean air whatever the working conditions and position.

The whole swiss air system is designed for maximum freedom of movement and minimal load. The blower unit sits on an ergonomic harness that spreads its weight evenly, and you operate it from a control panel on the chest strap. Because the system is independent of the helmet, the crystal 2.0 keeps its ultra-light weight (460 g) and good balance, which helps prevent neck pain. What is more, the swiss air system can be used with any other head protection or even on its own. It is a versatile, future-proof solution that adapts to your needs, not the other way round.
