SECTION 4 − SPECIFICATIONS
Welding-related hazards are present when using the welding training system. Read the welding power source and wire feeder Owner’s
Manuals and labels carefully for more information on arc welding hazards. Also read American National Standard Z49.1, Safety in
Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes, from American Welding Society (www.aws.org). Operators must be trained on the proper use
of this equipment before using the equipment to train others.
4-1. Introduction
The LiveArc welding training system provides the new student or the experienced welder the opportunity to develop, enhance or verify their welding
abilities through an interactive, simulated or live-arc process on a variety of weld joint configurations. The microprocessor-based training system
connects to nearly any Miller power source/wire feeder combination and uses a series of cameras, LEDs, and markers on the SmartGun and table
to monitor the welds being performed. The user puts on his personal protective equipment, turns on the welding equipment and training system, selects
the desired weld assignment on the touchscreen monitor, and begins either a simulated (practice) or live arc weld. The cameras, markers, and LEDs
convey the weld data (gun angle, gun speed, CTWD, aim) to the system microprocessor which compares it to the specific weld parameters of the
assignment selected. The system evaluates the weld data and grades the student’s performance through a numerical score.
Unit is shown with optional
positioning arm.
