Compatible with standard hard hats. Mount the Weldcap® hard with a minimum of effort on your industrial helmet. The cap’s design accommodates the use of ear muffs.

Multi-purpose use at utmost protection - Welding: Darkening levels from 9 to 12 cover the majority of welding applications.  Grinding: With its Shade level 3 in not activated mode, the welder has a bright and well-lit view of the workplace. This feature predestinates the Optrel Weldcap® hard for grinding jobs as well.

Extensive field of view - The heart of this innovative product is the optical unit featuring a well-defined nose cut out. The visual unit is placed closer to the eyes, greatly enlarging the welder’s line of sight! This increases the lateral and the horizontal fields of vision and the welders’ performance and safety.

Swift handling - Like a cap; easy to mount and unmount again. Stow it in the Optrel parking buddy when it’s not used.

Minimal weight - The Optrel Weldcap® weighs only 411g / 14.5oz & is an absolute lightweight. Since the ADF is closer to the eyes, the product's weight moves closer to its centre of gravity, increasing its stability and balance. The design eliminates pressure points and reduces strain on the welder’s neck.

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.
