Lincoln Electric’s presents the VRTEX, a virtual reality arc welding trainer machines to provide a powerful and cutting-edge solution to cultivate young welding talent quickly and efficiently. From superb graphics creating super realistic and responsive welding puddles to exceptionally accurate sounds and movements, anything that can be learned with the VRTEX system is seamlessly transferred into real-world, hands-on welding training.
Features
- The extra stand allows for training two students at the same time on one machine, each independently performing welds using different processes, coupons, joints and Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS).
- Retractable SMAW stick stinger, GMAW/FCAW gun and GTAW TIG torch, filler metal and adaptive foot pedal devices realistically simulates the look, feel and action of real-life guns and torches.
- Practice flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead 5G and 6G on mild steel, aluminium, stainless steel.
- Extremely realistic welding puddle is visually and audibly responsive to the operator’s behaviour, assisting young welders to learn when to adjust their welding technique. Welding discontinuities appear when an improper technique is being used.
Reinforcement for Students
- Demos of successful welds.
- Replicates proper machine set-up using a Welding Procedure Specification. Students must select gas type, process, gas flow, amperage/voltage, and wire-feed speed in the system.
- Tracks and scores key weld parameters include work angle, travel angle, travel speed, distance, and position.
Support for Welding Instructors
- Encourages more consistent feedback than traditional training.
- Replay mode (in multiple views) helps instructors and welders identify what was successful / unsuccessful.
- Intuitive software program is designed to bridge the welding curriculum with hands-on training.
