Lincoln Electric adds oxyfuel feature to VRTEX for virtual torch cutting practice

In collaboration with The Harris Products Group, Lincoln Electric has introduced the OxyFuel feature for its VRTEX 360 and Transport welding simulation tools. The new feature allows users to practice torch cutting safely and virtually. From setting up the torch to executing the cut, each task is designed to simulate real-world cutting applications.

The system offers the ability to connect to the user’s fuel of choice, propane or acetylene, and properly set fuel and fuel pressures in proper safety sequence. Users follow a step-by-step torch lighting sequence, following safety protocols and reinforcing the importance of reading the flame, and a proper torch shutdown sequence.
