295836 - AugmentedArc Pipe and Plate Training Kit

Advanced Simulation Hardware for Welding Education

The Miller AugmentedArc Pipe & Butt Joint Workpiece Kit (SKU: 295836) is a critical expansion component designed specifically for the AugmentedArc Augmented Reality Welding System. This kit provides the necessary physical interface for trainees to practice complex joint configurations in a simulated, safe environment. By utilizing specially designed props that interface seamlessly with the AugmentedArc's camera and sensor systems, the kit enables high-fidelity tracking of torch angle, travel speed, and work angle on both pipe and plate geometries.

The inclusion of a dedicated pipe workpiece allows for the simulation of 1G, 2G, 5G, and 6G pipe welding positions, a critical skill set in industrial welding and pipefitting. The butt joint workpiece facilitates training on groove welds, which are essential for structural applications. These physical props provide the tactile feedback necessary for developing muscle memory, effectively bridging the gap between virtual simulation and live arc welding. The system uses these props to overlay realistic computer-generated imagery of the weld puddle and arc, responding in real-time to the user's movements.

Designed for durability and ease of use, these workpieces mount securely to the AugmentedArc system stand. They completely eliminate the material waste associated with traditional training methods—such as scrap metal, welding wire, and shielding gas—making this a highly cost-effective solution for high-volume training programs. This kit is an indispensable tool for vocational schools, trade unions, and industrial training centers looking to modernize their curriculum and increase student throughput.
