OVERVIEW

Immerse Yourself in the Future of Welding

Step into the booth without the burn. The VRTEX© 360+ Dual User Virtual Reality Welding Simulator puts you in a lifelike welding environment where you can perfect your craft before you ever strike a real arc. This isn't just a game; it's a high-fidelity simulator that looks, sounds, and feels like the real thing. You will see a realistic welding puddle that reacts to your movements, hear the crackle of the arc, and even deal with simulated sparks and slag. It is the ultimate tool for building the steady hand and muscle memory required for professional welding.

Whether you are learning Stick (SMAW), MIG (GMAW), or Flux-Cored (FCAW), the VRTEX 360+ gives you instant, honest feedback. The system tracks your every move, scoring you on critical parameters like work angle, travel angle, travel speed, distance (arc length), and position. Struggling with your travel speed? The system will show you exactly where you sped up or slowed down. Having trouble with your rod angle? The visual cues help you correct it in real-time. You can even perform a virtual bend test to see if your weld would hold up to code-level inspection, revealing internal discontinuities caused by improper technique.

The "Dual User" feature means you and a partner can train side-by-side, learning from each other's sessions. You will learn how to set up the machine properly, selecting the right gas, polarity, and wire speed for the job. Because it is virtual, you can reset and try again instantly—no waiting for coupons to cool, no grinding out bad welds, and no wasting wire. It allows you to focus 100% on your technique, helping you become a better, more confident welder faster than traditional methods alone.

FAQ

The Dual User model allows two students to train simultaneously on a single machine, doubling the training capacity and throughput compared to single-user simulators.

No, the system is entirely virtual. It does not use real gas, welding wire, or metal coupons, resulting in significant cost savings on consumables.

The VRTEX 360+ supports training for SMAW (Stick), GMAW (MIG), and FCAW (Flux-Cored) welding processes.

Yes, it tracks and scores key parameters including work angle, travel angle, travel speed, arc length/distance, and position, providing instant feedback.

Yes, it includes the First Edition SMAW and GMAW/FCAW welding training curriculums, along with student workbooks and instructor guides.

The simulation is highly realistic, featuring accurate puddle physics, real welding sounds, sparks, slag, and even virtual bend tests to check for weld integrity.

The VRTEX 360+ Dual User simulator (K4602-3) ships in a heavy-duty wooden crate to ensure protection during transport.

Yes, the system features a virtual bend test that instantly displays results, helping you understand the internal quality of your weld.
