Specifications include, but are not limited to: Life like Welding Environment: • Realistic puddle and actual welding sound helps welders learn to respond and adjust welding technique. • Simulates sparks, slag, grinding and weld cooling. • Welding discontinuities appear when improper welding technique is used. • Virtual bend test provides results instantly and reveals what causes a weld to pass or fail. 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 wirefeed speed. • Tracks and scores key weld parameters including work angle, travel angle, travel speed, distance and position.
