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.

Welding Helmets FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and using a welding helmet.

What is the difference between a passive and an auto-darkening helmet?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

A passive helmet has a fixed dark filter, so you flip the helmet down or lower the visor just before you strike the arc and lift it afterwards. An auto-darkening helmet has a filter that is clear when you are not welding and darkens in a fraction of a second when the arc starts.

Auto-darkening helmets let you see the work before you weld, so you can position the electrode or torch accurately without lifting the helmet. Passive helmets are simpler, lighter and have nothing to fail electronically, and some people prefer them for heavy or fast work.

What is the difference between a fixed shade and a variable shade filter?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

A fixed shade filter darkens to one level, for example for one particular job. A variable shade filter lets you set the darkness within a range, so one helmet can be used for several processes and currents.

Variable shade is the usual choice if you do different kinds of welding, or welding at different currents, because you can adjust the shade to suit the arc and your eyes. Fixed shade is simpler and suits repetitive work that is always the same. The shade you need depends on the process and the current, so follow the maker's guidance.

Does it matter how many sensors the helmet has?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

The sensors detect the arc and tell the filter to darken. More sensors can help in awkward positions, where a single sensor might be blocked by your hand, the workpiece or a fixture, so the filter fails to darken.

This matters most when you weld in tight spaces, out of position or at low current. For general work in the open, a helmet with fewer sensors is often perfectly good. Whatever the number of sensors, always check that the filter darkens before you weld.

What do sensitivity and delay controls do?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

The sensitivity control sets how much light it takes to make the filter darken. Setting it high helps with low-current work such as TIG, where the arc is dim. Setting it low stops the filter from reacting to bright light from other welders nearby or from the sun.

The delay control sets how long the filter stays dark after the arc stops. A longer delay protects your eyes from the glowing hot metal after a high-current weld, and a shorter delay lets you see the work again quickly between tack welds.
