Abstract
A system and device for welding training. In one example, a welding training system includes a display configured to show welding features related to a training welding operation. The system also includes a training workpiece having a substantially transparent weld joint configured to be placed adjacent to the display during the training welding operation. The system includes a processing device coupled to the display and configured to provide welding data relating to the training welding operation to the display. The system also includes a training torch comprising an optical sensor. The training torch is coupled to the processing device and configured to provide the processing device with data from the optical sensor corresponding to a position of the training torch relative to the training workpiece.
Claims18
A welding training system comprising:
- a display configured to show welding features related to a training welding operation;
- a training workpiece comprising a substantially transparent weld joint configured to be placed adjacent to the display during the training welding operation such that a portion of the display is visible by looking through the substantially transparent weld joint;
- a processing device coupled to the display and configured to provide welding data relating to the training welding operation to the display;
- and
- a training torch comprising an optical sensor, wherein the training torch is coupled to the processing device and configured to provide the processing device with data from the optical sensor corresponding to a position of the training torch relative to the training workpiece.
A welding training system comprising:
- a training workpiece comprising a substantially transparent weld joint configured to be placed adjacent to a display during a training welding operation such that a portion of the display is visible by looking through the substantially transparent weld joint;
- and
- a training torch comprising a sensor configured to detect data corresponding to a position of the training torch relative to the training workpiece during the training welding operation.
A welding training system comprising:
- a processing device coupled to a display and configured to provide welding data relating to a training welding operation to the display, wherein the display is configured to show a virtual workpiece;
- and
- a training torch comprising an optical sensor, wherein the training torch is coupled to the processing device and configured to provide the processing device with data from the optical sensor corresponding to a position of the training torch relative to a training workpiece, wherein the training workpiece comprises the virtual workpiece.
