Lincoln Electric adds VRTEX models for virtual reality welding training

Lincoln Electric® has introduced new VRTEX® virtual reality welding training simulators. The next-generation systems feature a realistic GTAW experience. The weld puddle, including weld discontinuities, is visually and audibly responsive to operator behavior and differs for mild steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.

The new models are the 360 Single User, which offers multiple welding processes, positions, and joint configurations; the 360+ Dual User, which trains two people at the same time from one machine; the Transport™ tabletop-based system; and the Engage® for introductory career pathways programs in any environment.

All systems feature demo and replay modes, virtual bend tests, advanced scoring for weld tie-ins, pipe-on-plate coupon and welding procedure specifications, and a Weldometer™ that records material savings for each practice weld performed.
