The first virtual welding trainer with optional cutting mode 

The VRTEX® 360 Compact off ers welding training and optional thermal oxyfuel cutting training in one virtual device. This unique feature enables students to also experience torch cutting in a virtual environment. Every aspect of the thermal oxyfuel cutting feature is designed to address real-world cutting applications – from setting up the torch to executing the cut. 

Smarter

Compact size, small footprint, mobile use, intelligent software features. 

Efficient

High training quality, rapid training progress, faster fi t for real welding, fast set-up, just plug-in 
& train. 

Safer

No metal, sparks, heat, gas and fume. Less risks and accidents, remote learning capabilities via video streaming, optional hygienic training approach.

Multi-use

Flexible use and diff erent welding training modes, Thermal Oxyfuel Cutting as add-on feature.

VIRTUAL CUTTING TRAINING

Thermal Cutting as add on feature

  • Designed to address real-world cutting applications
  • From setting up the torch to executing the cut

Cutting & Analysis 

  • Similar to VRTEX® welding, each cutting exercise allows users access to visual cues to assist with aim, angle, distance and speed
  • Feedback is provided on the laser scoring screen with each single line of data on the chart representing the performance parameter of individual technique

Cutting set-up procedures 

  • Select quick connect valves & fuel pressures in proper safety sequence 
  • Fuel choices include Propane or Acetylene 
  • Step-by-step torch lightening sequence follows safety protocols and reinforces the importance of reading the flame 

FIVE GOOD REASONS FOR VRTEX® TRAINING

Virtual welding helps save not only time and costs, it offers also  new opportunities in performance-linked training lessons.  The VRTEX® 360 Compact supports learning at different levels –  from fundamental skills for beginners to advanced skills for  professionals. You just pick the right individual level and start  your virtual welding experience. Via the VRTEX® Weldometer™,  you can see immediately what you save per lesson, day and year,  compared to real welding training sessions.

Reduce your training costs 
Save on equipment, material, consumables and energy. Benefit from a cost-efficient compact device.

Reduce your training times 
Achieve faster training success. Get more efficient results with less training time on real welding machines.

Increase* your certification rate up to 42%
Skill and train more welders, compared to traditional welding training on real machines.

Track your welding defects 
Welding discontinuities appear when improper welding technique is used. Virtual bend test provides results instantly and reveals what causes a weld to pass or fail.

Train eco-friendly 
Minimize your material waste and environmental footprint, save shielding gas, welding electrodes, weld coupons and weld fume removal. Less energy is consumed than with a traditional welding machine,
wire feeder and a weld fume control system.
