THE SMARTEST WAY TO A REAL WELDING AND CUTTING EXPERIENCE
Discover virtual welding training in a new, compact size
Lincoln Electric's new VRTEX® 360 Compact tabletop virtual reality welding simulator is small and portable making it easy to use in multiple environments.
The cost-effective small-sized solution offers superior graphics, which creates the most realistic and responsive welding puddle available. Experience full immersion with accurate sounds and movements. The new VRTEX® 360 Compact welding training simulator seamlessly transfers into real-world, hands-on welding training.
The first virtual welding trainer with optional cutting mode
The VRTEX® 360 Compact welding simulator offers welding training and optional oxy-fuel cutting training in one virtual device. This unique feature enables students to also experience torch cutting in a virtual environment. Every aspect of the oxy-fuel cutting feature is designed to address real-world cutting applications – from setting up the torch to executing the cut.
WHY VRTEX® WELDING TRAINING SYSTEMS?
VRTEX® training systems are a game-changer. Instructors who integrate VRTEX® virtual reality welding trainers into their program will reduce material and energy costs, increase certification rates, accelerate training schedules and add a powerful instructional tool to their classroom.
Features & Benefits
Improves efficiency by accelerating students’ progress, reducing time required to up-skill
Reduces costs by eliminating use of consumables, metal coupons, gas and electricity
Allows for more practice which creates efficiency and a quicker route to certification
Ultimately, boosts student confidence quickly
Increases safety with no metal, sparks, heat, gas or fumes
FIVE GOOD REASONS TO USE THE VRTEX® WELDING TRAINING SYSTEM
Virtual welding helps save not only time and costs, it also offers new opportunities in performance-linked training lessons. The VRTEX® 360 Compact welding trainer supports learning at different levels – from fundamental skills for beginners to advanced skills for professionals. You just pick the right individual level and start your virtual welding experience. The Weldometer™ tracks virtual consumables, base material, and gas usage. You can track cost savings incurred immediately by lesson, day, and year compared to actual welding training sessions.
Reduce your training costs
Save on equipment, material, consumables and energy. Benefit from a cost-efficient compact device.
Reduce your training times
Achieve faster training success. Get more efficient results with less training time on real welding machines.
Increase your certification rate up to 42%*
Skill and train more welders, compared to traditional welding training on real machines.
Track your welding defects
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.
Train eco-friendly
Minimize your material waste and environmental footprint, save shielding gas, welding electrodes, weld coupons and weld fume removal. Less energy is consumed than with a traditional welding machine, wire feeder and a weld fume control system.
