The new Optrel HELIX is a new and unique welding/ grinding helmet solution. This goes against the norm with the flip-up mechanism inside the helmet. This minimises the weight and lowers the number of consumables. The auto-darkening lens features a nose cut-out, bringing the glare shield closer to your eyes with up to six times larger field of view. With the Helix 2.5, Optrel offers a welding helmet for work under the most difficult conditions.

A slide-up helmet with internal ADF that has all the technical features of an Optrel helmet:

  • Panorama XXL field of view
  • Shade levels 7-12
  • Inactive shade level 2.5
  • ShadeTronic®
  • Fadetronic
  • Rechargeable battery unit with charging via welding arc
  • 5-point multi-detection sensor technology

Product Details

The new internal flip-up welding helmet with a panoramic field of view.

With the Helix 2.5, Optrel offers a welding helmet for work under the most difficult conditions. A slide-up helmet with internal ADF that has all the technical features of an Optrel helmet.

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.

Panorama-XXL-field of view - The patented nose cut-out brings the glare shield closer to your eyes. The result is a much larger field of vision and a clear separation between the mouth and eye area, preventing the protective lens's tarnishing.

Fadetronic - Fade-out when switching off the protection level after welding. Wellness for your eyes for fatigue-free work.

Fronius Welding Helmets FAQs

Answers for buyers choosing and looking after Bluetooth-enabled auto-darkening welding helmets, including those used with a powered air system.

Why choose a welding helmet with a powered air system?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Welding fume is a health risk, and the HSE says that for arc welding a powered or supplied air respirator is the preferred option, ideally one that combines respiratory, eye and face protection with an assigned protection factor of at least 20. A helmet designed to work with a powered air unit gives you that combined protection in one piece of kit.

Tight-fitting masks can become uncomfortable, and people then loosen or remove them. A powered system blows filtered air across the face, which many welders find easier to wear for a full shift. Check the unit's data plate and manual to confirm it suits the helmet you choose.

How often should a reusable powered respirator be examined?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Reusable respiratory protective equipment needs regular thorough examination and, where appropriate, testing, carried out by properly trained people following the maker's instructions. The HSE's guidance on respiratory protective equipment says this should be monthly, or every three months if the equipment is used less often, with records of examinations, tests and repairs kept.

This is separate from the quick check you do yourself before each use. Your employer or safety adviser should set the programme from the maker's instructions and your risk assessment, and worn hoses, seals and filters should be replaced promptly rather than waiting for the next scheduled examination.

What can the Bluetooth connection on a helmet do?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

On helmets with Bluetooth, a smartphone app can usually let you change settings such as shade, sensitivity and delay without taking the helmet off, check battery status and sometimes save groups of settings for different jobs. Some designs can also link to the welding power source so the lens reacts before the arc is struck.

Features differ between makers and software versions, so read the manual to see what your helmet and app support. Always confirm that the shade you have set is suitable for the process and current before you strike an arc.

What does a shade range of 5 to 12 mean?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

The shade range shows how dark the lens can be set when the arc is lit. A lower number lets through more light, which is helpful for low-current work where you need to see detail, while a higher number is darker and suits higher currents. A wide range lets one helmet cover a variety of jobs.

The right shade depends on the process and the welding current, and it is normally taken from the shade selection table in the relevant standard or the helmet manual. If the process you use needs a darker or lighter shade than the range allows, that helmet is not suitable for it.
