The system is O.E.M. by United-States based Miller Electric Mfg. LLC, the world\u2019s largest manufacturer of arc welding products, and distributed in Canada by Riddell\u2019s company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Department of National Defence purchased six units for the Esquimalt school and the same number for Naval Fleet School Atlantic; they cost approximately $30,000 each.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">MS Berube says while the cost may seem steep, it will save money in the long term. Gone is the volume of metal and welding supplies used by up to 72 students in seven classes a year as they perfect their skill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWelding is a dirty and costly program to teach and every time a student picks up a welder they are consuming metal, welding rod, gas, electricity, etcetera,\u201d adds Riddell. \u201cDuring the welding procedure a shielding gas is released to prevent exposure to air and water vapor which can create issues. The Miller Augmented Arc welding trainer simulates this entire process, effectively enabling a student to learn how to weld in a realistic, clean, and safe environment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Instead of welder\u2019s helmet and mask that protects the eyes from the harmful torch glow, students put on a similar looking helmet that contains a three-dimensional display screen <\/span>that shows images of the real world, augmented with computer-generated images of metal workpieces, weld arcs and weld beads<span class=\"s1\">. Students then manipulate their torch and solder material to make simulated welds by moving them along a color-coded pallet that resembles a typical welding test coupon. Graphics on the screen inside the helmet show what they are doing on the virtual plane. Over time they learn how to properly adjust the angle, speed, distance, and the amount of gas and voltage. <\/span>The result is simulation live-arc welding without using an actual arc or consuming wire, shielding gas or coupons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tech savvy students will appreciate this unique training device says MS Berube. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For the instructors, they can watch all the students from one vantage, instead of walking the shop floor to check on their progress. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAll of your work is recorded while you are welding; you can go back and pinpoint problem areas and improve. So really for the student, it\u2019s like having an instructor by your side all of the time,\u201d said MS Deman. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The simulator will be introduced to students later this year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High tech welding simulator lowers Fleet School expenses By Peter Mallett, The Lookout Staff Instructors at Naval Fleet School Pacific (NFS(P)) say a new augmented reality welding simulator will enhance instruction, reduce waste, and save money.
