Virtual welding
We ran an article in July that may be of some interest to the welders
(weldors?) here -- training welders with a virtual welding setup. It's mostly of interest to commercial fabricators but it could be the future of welding training for a lot of us. Anyway, judge for yourself: http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/fabs.../july2014/#/14 -- Ed Huntress Editor FAB Shop Magaizine |

We had am analog lightpen built into a torch with pots or the O & A valves, a touchscreen and a programmable videodisk player. All very cool stuff for its day. We built five prototypes, fully functional, and as far as I know, they did use them in the classroom. |

I swear, some day I'm going to meet the voice-over actor face-to-face, he's gonna say, "you need to adjust the acetylene needle valve, not the oxygen needle valve" and I'm going to deck him. |

: http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/fabs.../july2014/#/14 I played with one at the Eastec show about a year & a half ago. I've never done any welding except O/A about 50 years ago, and it was very interesting. I did OK for my first weld, but clearly need a bit more practice. It provides real-time feedback on what you are doing wrong, and I was improving as I went. Definitely a great gadget for a vocational school. Doug White |

Doug White As a side note..I find the Guide Dog ad in a welding magazine to be disconcerting and unfortunately all to predictive "At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child, miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats." PJ O'Rourke |
