GENERAL DESCRIPTION

TheVirtual Welding Training SystemVRTEX. ThisTM computer360 is acontrolled interactive system simulates arc welding through the use of realistic pud- dle graphics and sounds. This training system is capa- ble of simulating multiple arc welding processes on a wide variety of weld joint configurations. The

represents the next generation of VirtualVRTEXRealityTM (VR)360 welding training.

1. Decide on a location for your unit.

NOTE: The unit will take up approximately 8’ L x 8’ D x 8’ H. Keep approximately 3 feet in all directions of both the stand and VR weld machine free from obstruction. In addition, be conscious of where you are placing the unit to avoid magnetic fields, conductive, and high frequency objects and processes. Having these types of objects in the area can cause interference and result in increased jitter and/or distortion in the motion tracking.

For best results, do not install VRTEXTM 360 machine in the welding lab. Electrical interference from power lines, though gen- erally small, can be present. Therefore all electrical power or lighting wiring within 50 feet of the welding area shall be enclosed in grounded rigid metallic conduit. In the event the VRTEXTM 360 is affected by inter- ference, it is the user's responsibility to take steps to isolate and/or eliminate the interference.

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) may be required for the protection of the system from power irregularities or disrup- tion.

MULTIPLE SYSTEM INSTALLATIONS

If multiple units are required to operate together a unique frequency transmitter can be installed during the manufacturing process at Lincoln Electric to reduce potential interference between systems. AD1332-1 systems have a standard frequency source installed. AD1332-2 systems have an alternate frequency source installed. For multiple system installations, alternate the -1 and -2 systems for best operation:
