Optrel 1006.901 Automatic Welding Helmet Shade 4-12

Product Description

The OPTREL 1006.901 is an automatic darkening welding helmet built around Crystal Lens Technology 2.0, which delivers color-realistic vision through the lens during and after the arc. The shade range spans 4 through 12, covering a broad range of welding processes and amperage levels. ShadeTronic technology eliminates manual shade adjustments by automatically adapting to any welding light intensity, keeping the operator focused on the work. Fadetronic provides a smooth, gradual transition when the lens reopens after the arc extinguishes, reducing eye fatigue during long shifts. Designed for professional welders across fabrication, structural, and production environments.

This helmet suits licensed welders and skilled tradespeople working in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The patented eccentric head-positioning mechanism allows the helmet to be precisely positioned on the head for optimum sight line alignment. An adjustable sensor slider lets the wearer set the detection angle to match individual preferences and booth geometry. The comfort headband distributes the helmet weight evenly and provides coverage for the neck and nape area. The unit is also compatible with an optional respiratory protection package when used as part of the Swiss Air ready-to-weld configuration.

Installation Notes

Fitting and adjustment should be performed by the welder prior to beginning any arc operations. Power down all welding equipment before handling or adjusting the helmet sensors. Verify that the shade setting and sensor detection angle are confirmed before striking the arc. Follow applicable ANSI Z87.1 and AWS safety standards for eye and face protection in welding environments.
