PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The VRTEX is a virtual reality arc welding trainer. This computer
based training system is an educational tool designed to allow
students to practice their welding technique in a simulated
environment. It promotes the efficient transfer of welding skills from
the classroom to the welding booth, while reducing material waste
and energy consumption associated with traditional welding training.
The VRTEX is a virtual reality arc welding training machine only and
NOT a real arc welding machine. Please be aware of all standard
safety practices associated with welding. Some standard warnings
are included in this manual.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided to the equipment and user may
be impaired.
Access panels are not to be removed except by qualified service
personnel due to risk of electric shock from accessible live parts.
The VRTEX machine is available in four different configurations. This
manual can be used for all four.
