OPTREL INTRODUCES A WELDING HELMET WITH THE WORLD’S CLEAREST VISIBILITY IN A LIGHT STATE


With the new vegaview2.5 autodarkening welding helmet, optrel launches another pioneering optical innovation that meets welders’ needs – “clearer visibility”. Ensuring optimal lighting conditions in the workplace is a challenge even in offices, not to mention welders’ workplaces. In the construction of heavy steel, light is often inadequate. And if a welder wears an autodarkening welding helmet in such dark space, the visibility of their materials and environment becomes significantly obscured despite the degree of clarity when looking through a helmet in an inactive state. optrel’s new vegaview2.5 offers the most clear view possible in light state with 2.5 shade level protection, improving the visibility of the welders’ environment by 400%. Compared with traditional autodarkening welding helmets, vegaview2.5 offers the world’s clearest view in an open state. Welders


appreciate such clear view during


preparation of works, additional control and cleaning. In addition, thanks to greater visibility at the workplace the welding helmet vegaview2.5 makes a significant contribution to improving protection at the workplace. vegaview2.5’s True Color Filter presents welders with an outstanding view quality, optimizing the view of colors in almost true form. This allows welders to experience their environments clearly, as well as optimizing the view of red LEDs without the need to remove the helmet. This optical technology not only provides improved vision safety and situational awareness for the welder, it optimizes their productivity on the job. With vegaview2.5’s True Color Filter, infrared rays are significantly reflected thanks to the cassette with color filters. For welders it means dual vision protection:


1. Short-wave infrared rays often cause damage to the retina without any preliminary symptoms; with repeat exposures, this can lead to lenticular opacity. vegaview2.5 actively protects against this threat.


2. A welder does not see these rays, though feels them as heat. As the color filters in the ADF lens actively blocks the infrared rays, vegaview2.5 simultaneously protects welders’ face against heat and eyes against high temperature.


vegaview2.5 is lightweight, reducing head and neck strain over the workday. Its adjustable headgear and excenter allows welders to personalize the fit of the helmet to their head. Also, the helmet’s black color does not get dirty quickly, minimizing the need for special care. l
