Weld Mart Australia are the sole Australian agents for 123 Certification Inc. who are the manufacturers of the Arc+ Virtual Reality Welding Simulator.
Arc+ is a fully immersive virtual reality training tool that utilizes state-of-the-art virtual technology to simulate multi-process, multi-material, multi-position, and multi-pass welding.
Arc+ uses advanced motion tracking technology and hi-resolution 3D rendering software to create a virtual welding experience. Realistic simulated sounds, smoke, and sparks add to the experience. High resolution images can be seen by the student and projected onto a screen for classroom observation or replays. Under supervision, the welder can learn how to maintain a weld pool, arc length and consistent welding bead. The student can also learn how to cope with the 3 arc metal transfer mode (short-circuit, globular and arc spray), sparks and virtual fumes and volatiles.
The database link to the simulator and the welder’s motion activities reproduces the same results obtained in a welding booth.
ARC+ detects angles, arc speed, and arc length/stick-out variations. It offers weld bead 3D reports such as radiographics and instant replays…including image reconstitution with second-by-second digital updates of welding parameters!
Arc+ gives the user an opportunity to evaluate his or her work with a diagnostic report, a ranking or a grade, and a visual examination as per a real welded assembly. When students have completed virtual welds, they can review their welding session through the replay mode and get advice from instructors who receive detailed, printable reports on the students practice sessions. The Arc+ simulator is not intended to replace traditional welding instruction on real welding equipment but to compliment the learning experience and to reduce the costs involved in training such as – Steel Wire, Gas, Electricity, Consumables and Scrap Metal. At the same time the simulator allows the students to practice their skills in a safe environment without risk of injury. The pre and post weld time is greatly reduced and the student can perform more practice runs in a given amount of time than if they were using traditional methods.
Arc+ is designed for: • Students and Apprentices • Experienced welders training to international qualifications • Manufacturing personnel who are required to weld in their daily job role • Distance learning, where students in multiple remote locations can train and send reports back to a central learning institute • Employers wishing to pre-qualify prospective employees • Pre-training welders on expensive material such as Titanium, Chrome-Molly, Cobalt, etc., to reduce wastage. • Pre-training on time-critical jobs to avoid down time such as Shipyard/Naval repairs, | | |
