5000.270 - Optrel Panoramaxx Outside Protection Plate (5-Pack)

Product Overview

The Optrel 5000.270 Front Cover Lens is a critical consumable component designed exclusively for the Optrel Panoramaxx series of welding helmets. This package contains five (5) genuine replacement lenses, ensuring that operators have sufficient stock to maintain their safety equipment over extended periods of use. As the primary barrier between the welding arc and the sensitive Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF), this front cover lens plays a vital role in the longevity and performance of the helmet.

Technical Specifications and Construction

Manufactured from high-grade, impact-resistant polycarbonate, these lenses are engineered to withstand the rigorous conditions of industrial welding environments. The material is selected for its optical clarity, ensuring that the high-definition view provided by the Panoramaxx ADF is not compromised by the protective layer. The lens serves as a sacrificial shield, absorbing the damage from molten spatter, sparks, smoke residue, and mechanical scratches that would otherwise damage the expensive electronic filter.

Compatibility and Installation

This specific SKU (5000.270) is form-fitted for the unique curvature and dimensions of the Panoramaxx shell. It is not compatible with other Optrel series such as the e684 or Crystal 2.0, which utilize different lens geometries. The installation process is designed for efficiency, allowing the user to snap the old lens out and insert a new one without the need for specialized tools. This minimizes downtime during operations. Regular replacement of the front cover lens is recommended to maintain EN379 optical classification standards and ensure the sensors on the ADF are not obstructed by grime or pitting.

Maintenance Recommendations

For industrial MRO procurement, stocking the 5000.270 ensures that welding personnel can maintain compliance with safety standards. A pitted or opaque front lens can cause arc sensor malfunction, leading to flash blindness. It is advisable to inspect the front cover lens daily and replace it immediately upon signs of significant pitting or discoloration. This 5-pack configuration offers a logical balance between inventory management and unit cost efficiency.
