Description
Hand-held laser welding is precise, efficient and easy to use, but it also carries considerable risks, especially for the eyes: infrared laser radiation penetrates deeply and can cause immediate and irreparable damage to eyesight – even through reflections. Suitable eye and face protection is therefore mandatory, and respiratory protection should also be part of the PPE to avoid inhaling the invisible pollutants produced during the laser process.
Together with its partner laservision, optrel developed the panoramaxx laser series on the basis of the panoramaxx series. It retains the panoramic XXL field of view (6.3 times larger than a standard 100 x 50 mm filter), the two-position locking function (Position Locker) and the lightweight design. A patent-pending inner frame acts as integrated laser safety goggles and provides closed eye protection.
panoramaxx hybrid and panoramaxx hybrid clt are automatic helmets for both hand-held laser welding and conventional arc welding; the manual shade range is recommended for laser welding. The hybrid clt additionally features Crystal Lens Technology for a detailed, high-contrast view of the weld pool. Both models are available with or without fresh air supply (pure air versions for the e3000X blower unit or supplied air) and can be combined with the swiss air respiratory protection system.
panoramaxx L is a passive laser helmet with a colour filter for laser protection and protection level 2, designed for laser cleaning, laser cutting and inspection work on laser welding robots. It is not recommended for laser welding.
The hybrid models are suitable for all electric arc welding processes – stick welding (SMAW), MIG/MAG (GMAW), flux-cored wire welding, TIG (GTAW), plasma and micro-plasma welding, plasma cutting – for grinding in grinding mode and also for overhead welding.
Advantages
- Laser and welding protection in one helmet (hybrid models); laser protection classified to EN 207 / ISO 19818-1
