NEW Dual-User feature option available!

Lincoln Electric’s VRTEX® virtual reality arc welding trainers provide a powerful, cutting-edge solution for cultivating welding talent quickly and resourcefully. From superior graphics creating the most realistic and responsive welding puddles available to exceptionally accurate sounds and movements, what can be learned virtually with VRTEX® seamlessly transfers into real-world, hands-on welding training.

Top Features

  • Retractable SMAW stick stinger, GMAW/FCAW gun and GTAW TIG torch, filler metal and adaptive foot pedal devices realistically simulate the look, feel and action of actual guns and torches.
  • Practice flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead 5G and 6G on mild steel, aluminum, stainless steel
  • Input Power: 115/230/1/50/60
  • Processes: Simulated SMAW, Simulated GTAW, Simulated GMAW, Simulated FCAW

VRTEX® 360+ Dual User

  • Retractable SMAW stick stinger, GMAW/FCAW gun and GTAW TIG torch, filler metal and adaptive foot pedal devices realistically simulate the look, feel and action of actual guns and torches
  • Two of each device are included
  • Dual stands allow for training two welders at a time on one machine
  • K4602-1 (Pallet) / K4602-3 (Pallet)

Features & Benefits

Life-like Welding Environment:

  • Realistic puddle and actual welding sound helps welders learn to respond and adjust welding technique.
  • Simulates sparks, slag, grinding and weld cooling.
  • Welding discontinuities appear when improper welding technique is used.
  • Virtual bend test provides results instantly and reveals what causes a weld to pass or fail.

Reinforcement for Students:

  • Demos of successful welds.
  • Replicates proper machine set-up using a Welding Procedure Specification. Students must select gas type, process, gas flow, amperage/voltage and wire-feed speed in the system.
  • Tracks and scores key weld parameters including work angle, travel angle, travel speed, distance and position.

Support for Welding Instructors:

  • Encourages more consistent feedback than traditional training.
  • Replay mode (in multiple views) helps instructors and welders identify what went wrong or well.
  • Intuitive software program designed to bridge welding curriculum with hands-on training.

Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources

Educational EquipmentAgriculture can be considered one of the oldest industries in th world tracing its origin back 12,000 years. What started with small groups of people in various locations figuring out how to domesticate animals and grow their food has become a multi-trillion-dollar global industry.

Over the last few centuries, sparked by a series of industrial revolutions, significant changes have taken place throughout the industry that has shaped agriculture as we know it today. Machinery has replaced manual processes and hand tools. Additionally, technological advances, including computers and the Internet, have enabled agricultural machines and procedures to be more productive and efficient.

As technology continues to advance, agriculture must keep evolving to ensure that productivity keeps pace with an ever-expanding world population. Today’s agricultural experts need experience with more types of technology than ever before.

Agricultural mechanics is a critical component of robust and relevant agriscience programs. With the right equipment, educators can demonstrate how to construct and repair equipment, buildings, and facilities by following architectural and mechanical plans, show mechanical equipment and power systems, and teach hydraulic and pneumatic systems service and repair.

Plants, farms, and animals are the main functions of agriculture. Still, there are additional opportunities in this field. This career pathway covers a variety of careers - ranging from animal science and veterinary science to metal technologies/welding, oil and gas production systems, and energy & natural resources.

Students need the opportunity to apply physical science principles to their studies with an agricultural mechanics career track that covers:

  • Agricultural systems including equipment, power systems, alternative fuel sources and precision technology
  • Welding trainers, CNC tables, and hydraulics training systems are all key components to the formula that makes up a robust educational program
  • Food Production & Processing Systems
  • Natural and Rewable Resource Systems
  • Animal Systems, Veterinary Programs

Manufacturing & Engineering

Advanced Manufacturing Skills TrainersOur learning programs develop job-ready skills that have been proven time and again. Take a look at how we can help you be successful!

Colleges are challenged to offer courses whenever students are available – and frequently, wherever they are available. Students want courses that are available on campus as well as from home while also providing strong hands-on skills for the technology demands facing them. Meeting these demands is no small task.

Amatrol has learning programs that allow colleges to excel in this demanding environment. We offer a full range of learning systems, both in a traditional equipment lab setting as well as in a virtual lab, that meet and exceed students' expectations.
