OVERVIEW

Master the Arc in Virtual Reality

Step into the future of welding with the VRTEX® 360+ Dual User Virtual Reality Welding Simulator. Whether you are a student just starting out or a seasoned pro looking to refine your technique on exotic positions, this machine offers a safe, realistic, and highly effective way to train. The VRTEX 360+ immerses you in a virtual shop environment where you can practice Stick, MIG, and Flux-Cored welding without the heat, sparks, or fumes of a live booth.

Train Smarter, Not Harder

The VRTEX 360+ is built to help you build muscle memory faster. Through the VR headset, you see a realistic welding puddle that behaves just like molten metal. The system monitors your hand movements with precision, giving you visual cues if your travel speed is too fast, your angle is off, or your arc length is incorrect. This "virtual coaching" allows you to self-correct instantly, leading to faster mastery of difficult joints and positions. Because there is no setup time for tacking plates or grinding welds, you get more "arc time" per session compared to traditional training.

Dual User Capability

Training with a partner has never been easier. The Dual User feature allows two welders to practice on the same machine at the same time, independently. This means less waiting around and more time practicing. You can compete with peers for high scores on specific welds, adding a gamified element that makes learning engaging and fun. The system records your scores, so you can track your improvement over time and prove your skills to instructors or potential employers.

Safety First

Virtual reality training removes the physical hazards associated with live welding. There is no risk of burns, arc flash, or inhaling hazardous fumes. This allows you to focus 100% on your technique and hand-eye coordination in a stress-free environment. Once you have mastered the mechanics in VR, you will step into the real welding booth with the confidence and muscle memory needed to lay down high-quality beads immediately.

FAQ

Yes, the Dual User capability allows two students to engage in welding training exercises at the same time on a single machine, independently of each other.

The simulator supports SMAW (Stick), GMAW (MIG), and FCAW (Flux-Cored) welding processes.

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

Yes, the unit comes with SMAW and GMAW/FCAW training curriculums, as well as a student workbook and instructor guide.

Yes, it tracks and scores metrics such as travel speed, work angle, travel angle, aim, and contact tip-to-work distance.

Absolutely. Since there is no actual arc, heat, or fumes, it is the safest way for beginners to learn the mechanics of welding before entering a live booth.

The unit is shipped and often stored on a pallet configuration to ensure stability during transport and to provide a consolidated station for the equipment.

Yes, it supports simulation of various welding positions (flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead) to provide comprehensive training.
