1 AR Stick Electrode And Holder
Markers on the stick electrode allow it
to work with the AR system. The elec-
trode is similar in shape, weight, and
size to a real electrode. It is placed
within the holder, which is connected to
the simulator. The holder retracts the
electrode during welding to simulate
the electrode consumption in real
welding.
2 AR MIG/FCAW Welding Gun
Markers on the AR MIG/FCAW weld-
ing gun allow it to work with the AR sys-
tem. The gun is connected to a real
welding connector in the simulator.
MIG/FCAW welding is a semiautomat-
ic process that uses a continuous wire
feed as an electrode and an inert (MIG)
gas mixture to protect the weld from
contamination.
The wire can be solid
(GMAW) or cored (FCAW). The stu-
dent begins by selecting the shielding
gas, wire type, and diameter. After the
exercise has begun, the student adjusts
the wire feed speed on the simulator.
3 AR TIG Torch And Filler Rod
Markers on the TIG (GTAW) torch and
AR filler rod allow it to work with the AR
system. The torch is connected to a re-
al welding connector in the simulator.
The filler material is added to the weld
joint by a AR filler rod that is tracked us-
ing the AR marker accessory. The stu-
dent adds filler by dipping the rod into
the weld joint, just as in real welding.
The AR filler rod is similar in shape,
size, and weight to a real filler rod and
helps the student become familiar with
using this equipment.
4 AR Workpieces
The AR workpieces are in standard
joint configurations (Bead On Plate,
T-Joint, Butt Joint, Lap Joint,
Pipe-Plate, Pipe-Pipe) and are de-
signed to work with the AR system.
5 Workpiece Stand
Use to hold workpieces in position for
simulated flat, horizontal, vertical, or
overhead welding.
