Fronius welding helmets: UV and glare protection for maximum safety when welding

Our welding helmets with automatic darkening provide reliable protection against harmful rays generated during arc welding. They not only prevent eye diseases, but also protect the face, head, and neck from serious injuries. With various models to choose from—from entry-level solutions to high-end helmets—we offer a complete range that is tailored to your specific needs.

Welding helmet technology at a glance

Our welding helmets are equipped with innovative technologies that not only protect you better, but also make your day-to-day work much easier. Here’s an overview of the most important ones:

Autopilot
No more manual adjustment: the auto-darkening filter cartridge darkens automatically and regulates the level of protection depending on the intensity of the arc.
Bluetooth function
With integrated Bluetooth Low Energy technology, the helmet darkens before the arc is ignited. The auto-darkening filter cartridge also remains reliably dark even with minimal energy and during out-of-position welding, providing optimal protection that prevents your eyes from being exposed to the arc for a single second.
Crystal Lens
Benefit from an incredibly clear view, with 31% light transmission (brightness level 2) in light conditions and grinding mode, and crisp detail and sharp contrast in dark mode to guarantee precise work.
Fresh air system
All Vizor welding helmets can also be combined with a respiratory protection system that supplies the welder with filtered air while working. The system filters 99.8% of ultra-fine welding fume particles out of the ambient air and keeps exposure to welding fume to a minimum.

Panoramic view
The special nose cut of the auto-darkening filter cartridge allows a field of vision up to six-times greater than with conventional welding helmets.
True color
A specially developed UV/IR filter enables realistic color perception to give you a high-contrast view of the weld pool.
