    Discover the uniqueness of the Optrel e684

    The Optrel e684 is the perfect welding protection gear for demanding joining processes of aluminium, chrome-nickel alloys, special metals as well as steel.

    Thanks to the infinitely variable shade range of SL 5 to SL 13, the Optrel e684 is suitable for all electric arc and grinding processes. The Optrel e684 is the welder‘s loyal companion, especially for industry applications such as vehicle & railway construction, agricultural & construction machinery, steel /machinery /tank /vessel /plant construction, pipeline & tube making, as well as shipbuilding and offshore.

    Unlimited possibilities - The e684 provides numerous upgrade options to suit your individual requirements. The options include a powered air purifying respirator, hard hat, neck and head protection or magnifying lenses. As a result, you can effortlessly upgrade the e684 without purchasing a new welding helmet.

    Adaptive Shade Autopilot - Set it and forget it. The adaptive shade level control automatically adjusts the perfect shade level.  An additional sensor that measures the arc intensity makes this autopilot function work. Therefore, you always have control of the appropriate trajectory regardless of which welding parameter is set.  This allows you to stay focused on what matters: Your welding process!

    High definition Viewing - Superior viewing at every angle. Like viewing a high-definition television, the Optrel e684’s special HD lens provides a true colour view to the welder. Its class 1 angular dependency allows welders to see the clearest, crispest view possible, enabling welders to concentrate more accurately on their weld.

    Cooling Helmet Design - Keep cool, even when the heat is on. Reflecting light and heat, the Optrel e684’s special silver helmet keeps the welder’s head cooler by 23% compared to other unpainted helmets. In extreme environments, welders can work longer and be more comfortable long-term.

    Wellness for the eyes - Groundbreaking technology prevents / reduces eye fatigue automatically. Unlike other ADF lenses that rapidly return to light, the Optrel e684’s Twilight ADF Technology restores light more naturally, presenting a smooth eye transition. This exclusive technology reduces eye fatigue on welders continuously welding, enabling them to work longer and safer.

    Better safety and higher productivity! - Take a deep breath.  Using an Optrel PAPR system sustainably reduces the risk of respiratory disorders. The combination with the Optrel e3000 PAPR offers you the highest protection level of TH3. Furthermore, thanks to the variable air distribution inside the helmet, you fatigue much less, so you can stay concentrated longer. Protection and comfort for higher productivity, automatically better welding.

    Daily Multi-purpose use - Darkening levels from 5 to 13 cover all majority of welding applications and with a protection level 4 in its general mode, the welder has a bright and well-lit view of the work-place. This feature predestinates the Optrel e684 for grinding jobs as well.

    Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing equipment and consumables by maker.

    How do I choose between different makers of welding equipment?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Start with the job rather than the name on the machine. Work out the process, the material and thickness, how often you will weld and where the work will be done, then compare the specifications of equipment that suits. Most established makers build good equipment, and the real differences tend to be in features, build quality, ease of use and the support behind the product.

    It also helps to ask other welders in your trade what they use and why, and to try a machine or helmet in your hands where you can. If you are unsure, our team can help you narrow the choice.

    Is it better to stay with one maker for my machine, torch and accessories?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Often it is the simplest route. Parts from one maker are designed to work together, so connections, controls and consumables line up, and you have a single source of advice and support. Some machines also use digital connections between the machine, torch and remote controls that only work with that maker's own parts.

    It is not essential, though. Many items, such as gas regulators, standard torch connectors, clamps and general safety equipment, follow common fittings and can be mixed. Check compatibility against the maker's information before combining parts from different makers.

    What is the difference between genuine and compatible consumables and spares?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Genuine parts are made or approved by the equipment maker for a specific model. Compatible parts are made by another company to fit. Some compatible parts work well, but others differ slightly in dimensions, materials or finish, and that can affect fit, arc stability, how well they handle heat and how long they last.

    For safety-critical items such as electrical parts, gas fittings and protective lenses, follow the maker's recommendation, and check the warranty terms before fitting parts the maker has not approved. For everyday wear parts, compare the specification carefully rather than assuming that anything that fits is equivalent.

    How do I read a machine specification?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Look first at the input supply: the voltage, whether it is single-phase or three-phase, and the input current. Then look at the output: the current range, and the duty cycle at a stated current, which tells you how long the machine can weld in a ten-minute period before it needs to cool.

    Also check which processes it supports, the wire or electrode sizes it takes, the cooling method, the weight and the protection rating. When you compare machines, compare duty cycle at the same current, because a high maximum current means little if the machine can only hold it for a short time.
