Panorama-XXL-field of view

A six times larger field of view*.
Everything in view. Best views.

 

Industry standard
optrel helix field of view

The patented nose cutout brings the glare shield closer to your eyes. The result: a much larger field of vision and a clear separation between the mouth and eye area, which also prevents tarnishing of the protective lens.

* Compared to a 100 x 50 mm standard-ADF.

ShadeTronic®

Always the right shading level.
Fully automatic. Stepless. Safe.

A light sensor permanently measures the intensity of the welding arc and continuously regulates the glare protection over the entire shading level range.

Uninterrupted work at any welding light intensity.

    Twilight Function


    Sensitivity Adjustment

    <p>Bei ausgewählten expert-Produkten werden speziell beschichtete Filter eingesetzt, die eine bessere Sicht auf das Schweissobjekt ermöglichen. Die Farberkennung durch diese Art Filter wurde so optimiert, dass die Farben der Umgebung fast farbecht wahrgenommen werden können. Somit kann der Schweisser auch ohne Probleme rote LEDs der Schweissmaschine ablesen, ohne den Helm anzuheben was die Effizienz im Schweissprozess und die Sicherheit weiter fördert.</p>
