The Lincoln Electric VRTEX® 360+ Dual User Virtual Reality Welding Training Simulator (K4602-1) represents the pinnacle of modern welding education technology. Designed for schools, unions, and industrial training centers, this advanced system allows two students to train simultaneously using a single processing unit. By effectively doubling the training capacity of your facility without doubling the equipment footprint, the VRTEX 360+ maximizes efficiency and throughput in high-demand educational environments.
One of the most significant advantages of the VRTEX system is the elimination of material waste. Traditional welding training consumes vast amounts of steel coupons, welding rod, wire, and shielding gas. The VRTEX 360+ replaces these physical consumables with a high-fidelity virtual environment. This not only drastically reduces operating costs but also creates a greener training facility by eliminating scrap metal waste and shielding gas emissions. Institutions can redirect these savings into other critical areas of their curriculum or facility improvements.
The VRTEX 360+ provides an immersive experience that closely mimics real-world welding. The virtual puddle reacts dynamically to the user's movements, replicating the look and feel of actual welding processes including SMAW (Stick), GMAW (MIG), and FCAW (Flux-Cored). The system tracks key metrics such as travel speed, work angle, travel angle, contact tip-to-work distance, and aim. Students receive immediate visual cues and scoring, allowing them to correct their technique in real-time. This instant feedback loop accelerates muscle memory development and helps students transition to live arc welding with greater confidence and skill.
This package comes ready to teach, including the First Edition SMAW and GMAW/FCAW Welding Training Curriculums (K3205-1 and K3206-1). It also features the VRTEX Project Based Lesson 1 Student Workbook and Instructor Guide. These resources provide a structured learning path, ensuring that instructors have the tools they need to integrate VR training seamlessly into their existing programs. The unit is shipped on a pallet for secure transport and easy setup.
