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.
