System Setup Information
When setting up the virtual equipment, the user must
set the welding parameters (e.g. wire feed speed for
VR GMAW) within the ranges set in the tolerance edi-
tor. The system ships with Lincoln default tolerances.
Lincoln default tolerances can be reviewed in the tol-
erance editor, or refer to the Default Weld Process
Settings Chart (if using the default settings) located at
the end of this OPERATION SECTION. Electronic
copies of the WPSʼS are available on the USB memo-
ry stick that is shipped with the VRTEX
OPERATION
However, users can set and use their own tolerances
for teaching beginner welders. The tolerances also
determine how the user is scored on such parameters
as work angle, travel angle, travel speed, position,
and contact tip to work distance or arc length. The
