Features added to reality-based weld training system

Miller has added features to its LiveArc™ reality-based weld training system, which uses motion-tracking technology to provide students with immediate feedback to help them advance their welding skills.

The system now is available with a welding positioning arm for training in out-of-position applications, allowing instructors to expand assignments beyond flat/horizontal welding parameters.

The SmartGun featured with the system now includes additional LEDs for better sensing ability, as well as a more robust design for extreme industrial applications. The company also has made free software upgrades available to augment the instruction interface and provides separate PC software that allows instructors to review student performance, add assignments, and make changes to existing assignments.
