VRTEX 360 Welding Trainers Features and Benefits
FEATURES:
- Realistic puddles and *actual welding sounds* help welders learn to respond to and adjust welding techniques.
- Simulates sparks, slag, grinding and weld cooling.
- Welding *discontinuities* appear when an improper welding technique is used.
- Virtual bend test provides results instantly and reveals what causes a weld to pass or fail.
- Demos of successful welds.
- Replicates proper machine set-up using a Welding Procedure Specification. (Students must select the gas type, process, gas flow, amperage/voltage and wire-feed speed into the system.)
- Tracks and scores key weld parameters, including work angle, travel angle, travel speed, distance and position.
- Encourages more consistent feedback than traditional training.
- Replay mode (in multiple views) helps instructors and welders identify what went wrong or well.
- Intuitive software program designed to bridge welding curriculum with hands-on training.
* Exclusive to Lincoln Electric
BENEFITS:
- Reduce welding training costs
- Train welders faster
- Increase certification rates
- Safer (no metal, sparks, heat, gas or fumes)
- Two-day free training at manufacturing sites
VRTEX 360 Models
The VRTEX® 360, 360+ and 360 Compact are the most advanced welding training systems on the market. These virtual reality trainers are ideal for basic to advanced welding training. Instructors who integrate VTREX® virtual reality welding trainers into their program can reduce material and energy costs, increase certification rates and accelerate training schedules with this powerful instructional tool.
Please Note: You cannot upgrade from the VRTEX 360 welding simulator to the VRTEX 360+. You must select one model or the other. The 360+ model comes with twice as many tools and coupons as the 360, and different welding processes can be performed on each stand simultaneously.
