Miller AugmentedArc Augmented Reality Welding System - 951823

The Miller AugmentedArc Augmented Reality Welding System (951823) is a comprehensive training solution designed to bridge the gap between classroom theory and the welding booth. By utilizing advanced augmented reality (AR) technology, this system simulates multiprocess welding applications—including MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), and Stick (SMAW)—blending real-world images with computer-generated overlays. This allows students to practice on physical workpieces while viewing a simulated arc and weld puddle through the included Black Infinity AR Helmet.

Designed for educational environments, the AugmentedArc system is heavily focused on curriculum integration. It comes pre-loaded with exercises compatible with NCCER Level 1 and 2 curricula, correlating directly with AWS SENSE standards. Additionally, it integrates with Miller's OpenBook LMS, providing a structured path for students to master welding fundamentals. The system includes a dedicated router (277397) to facilitate connectivity between the simulator and the teacher software, allowing for seamless classroom management.

The hardware package is robust, featuring specially designed input devices that mimic the weight and feel of actual welding tools. The kit includes a MIG gun (301401), TIG torch (301400), and Stick stinger (277258), all equipped with AR nozzles or tips to interact with the system's sensors. A variety of coded workpieces—such as T-joints, butt joints, lap joints, and pipe-to-plate assemblies—are included to cover a wide range of welding positions and joint configurations. The system's "Teacher Software" enables instructors to monitor student progress, review graphed performance data, and replay video of student welds to provide targeted coaching.
