Lincoln Electric ’ s REALWELD Advanced Trainer Improves Mastery of Welding Techniques
to determine welding proficiency . Users can practice multi-pass capability in a number of positions , including 1F , 2F , 3F , 4F , 1G , 2G , and 3G and lap , tee , groove and flat-plate joints .
Standard 6-inch and optional 18-inch fixtures allow users to perform a number of multi-pass industry-standard welds . A motorized carriage makes it easy to move the table and arm for welding in flat , vertical or overhead positions .
The system features an “ Arc OFF ” mode that allows students to first practice , troubleshoot and master welding techniques without burning an arc . This approach not only boosts learning and muscle memory but also helps reduce program material costs , including welding plate , flux , electrode or wire and shielding gas .
Lincoln Electric ’ s REALWELD ® Advanced Trainer gives students and prospective employees a live-arc , multi-sensory learning experience that merges actual welding with advanced motion tracking technology .
The system helps students master MIG , stick and flux-cored processes with immediate in-booth feedback and analysis . REALWELD improves training results by enhancing student comprehension , reducing training time and increasing certification rates in both school and industry settings . It is ideal for use as a bridge to traditional welding training or as a screening tool
As a user welds , with or without an arc , the system analyses and scores every attempted weld trial on five technique parameters , providing embedded , immediate and objective information on a 17-inch touch screen display that students can access in the booth . The system also enables students to review how-to-videos , technical documents and even instructor handouts , such as safety data sheets , all on-screen in the booth . The display responds to gloved hands , so users do not have to stop and remove gloves to get instant information .
REALWELD mirrors the welding and teaching experience closer than any other training system . Its audio coaching feature provides users with guidance on weld speed , angles , aim , contact tipto-work distance , arc length and weld position .
