Description
The sphereX series is the further development of the popular optrel sphere series. It combines the classic design with the technical innovations of the newer optrel helmet series and gives a clear, colour-realistic view of the weld pool with full protection. The field of view is more than 30% larger than that of the sphere series.
IsoFit® X headgear is fitted as standard: it can be adjusted in three dimensions and has an integrated adapter, so an industrial safety helmet can be attached with just two clicks. The two-position locking function (Position Locker) holds the helmet shell securely in the open or closed position, and the smoke-repellent shell design offers better protection against harmful substances and keeps the view clear.
Three versions are available: sphereX clt with Crystal Lens Technology and light state 2.0 for TIG and precision welding of stainless steel, aluminium and thin sheet metal; sphereX quattro with shade levels 5–13 and viewing angle class V1 for high-current applications and heavy steel construction; and sphereX 2.5 as an all-rounder for MIG/MAG, stick welding and grinding.
The helmet is 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 – as well as for grinding in grinding mode, overhead welding and welding in extreme positions. It is not suitable for laser welding. It can be combined with the swiss air respiratory protection system, and a PAPR version for the e3000X blower unit or supplied air is also available.
Advantages
- ShadeTronic®: fully automatic, stepless adjustment of the shade level to the intensity of the welding arc
- Multi-sensor detection with 5 sensors for maximum safety even in difficult lighting conditions
- FadeTronic: gentle opening of the filter after welding for fatigue-free work
- Infinitely variable sensitivity adjustment with “Super High” range
- Position Locker and IsoFit® X headgear with adapter for an industrial safety helmet
- Solar cells and two replaceable CR2032 button cells (approx. 1500 h operating time)
