K4914-1 / VRTEX® 360 Compact

• Retractable SMAW stick stinger, GMAW/FCAW gun and GTAW TIG torch, filler metal and adaptive foot pedal devices realistically simulate the look, feel and action of actual guns and torches.
• Practice flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead 5G and 6G on mild steel, aluminum, stainless steel.
• Extremely realistic weld puddle is visually and audibly responsive to operator behavior, helping welders learn when to adjust welding technique. Welding discontinuities appear when improper technique is used.
• Tracks and scores key weld parameters including work angle, travel angle, travel speed, distance and position.
• Virtual bend test provides results instantly and reveals what causes a weld to pass or fail.
• Demo, Replay& Lesson Mode mode helps instructors and welders identify what went wrong or well.
• Simulates sparks, slag, grinding and weld cooling.

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 wire-feed speed in the system.
• Tracks and scores key weld parameters including work angle, travel angle, travel speed, distance and position.
