301401 - Miller AugmentedArc Reality Welding MIG Gun

Miller AugmentedArc MIG Gun - 301401

The Miller 301401 AugmentedArc MIG Gun is a specialized component designed exclusively for use with the Miller AugmentedArc augmented reality welding system. This device serves as the primary interface for students and trainees learning the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process within a simulated environment. Unlike traditional MIG guns that carry high amperage current and feed welding wire, this unit is an advanced input device that communicates with the AugmentedArc computer system to track movement, angle, and technique in real-time.

Constructed to replicate the physical characteristics of a standard industrial MIG gun, the 301401 ensures that trainees develop the correct muscle memory required for actual welding applications. It features a standard trigger mechanism and ergonomic handle design consistent with Miller's professional welding equipment. This attention to physical detail is critical for the transfer of skills from the simulator to the welding booth. The gun connects directly to the AugmentedArc system, allowing instructors to monitor performance metrics such as work angle, travel angle, travel speed, contact tip-to-work distance, and aim.

It is important to note that this product is a simulation tool and is not capable of striking a real arc or feeding actual welding wire. It is strictly for use within the AugmentedArc ecosystem. The gun requires a specific AR Nozzle (part number 277269), which is typically sold separately, to function correctly with the system's tracking markers. This modular approach allows for the replacement of individual components if they become damaged during intensive classroom use. Facilities managers and instructors should verify their existing inventory to ensure the correct nozzle is available or purchased alongside this replacement gun.

By utilizing the Miller 301401, training centers can significantly reduce the consumption of costly consumables like shielding gas, welding wire, and base metals during the initial phases of welder training. This unit is an essential spare or replacement part for institutions running the AugmentedArc system, ensuring that downtime is minimized and training schedules remain uninterrupted.
