Welding Helmet Enhances Optical Clarity Before, During and After Welding



optrel, a manufacturer of active eye protection products, offers its crystal2.0 welding helmet with Crystal 2.0 Lens Technology (CLT2.0) - offering enhanced optical clarity for welders before, during and after welding.

"Traditionally, glare-protection features on welding helmets hamper a welder's safety and productivity with a clouded and falsified view of the environment and workpiece. The optrel crystal2.0 welding helmet delivers 31% visible light transmission in its light state (Protection Level 2.0) - setting a new world record for best brightness," said a company spokesperson. "The crystal2.0's true color perception delivers a nearly-perfect color spectrum that provides high optical clarity for welders of their work and job site. In its light state, the view is the same as looking through a clear glass window. In its dark state, the crystal2.0 provides a high-contrast view of the welding pool and enhanced clearness."

The crystal2.0 welding helmet features technologies designed to make welding both safer and more productive, including:

  • Autopilot Shade level 4 to 12 automatically adapt shade levels to changing arc conditions.
  • Twilight Function protects users after a weld from lighting changes and afterglow to reduce eye fatigue and strain
  • Sensitivity Control adapts hood to work environment and requirements
  • Grind Mode offers bright vision for grinding work
  • Heat-Reflecting Paint keeps users cooler
  • Sensor Slide enables users to set the sensor detection angle to meet individual requirements
  • Patented Excenter optimally positions the helmet on a user's head with just one twist
  • Comfort Headband offers an optimized weight balance to protect both neck and back.

The helmet is designed to meet industry standards US ANSI Z87.1, European CE (EN379, EN166, EN175) and complies with Canadian CSA Z94.3.
