AR Welding Training System with AR Simulator and Educational Technology

SOLDAMATIC2020

What is the AR Welding Training Simulator?

AR Welding Training Simulator is a system for safe welding training in a virtual space by reproducing welding phenomena such as weld metal, arc, weld bead, and spatter using computer graphics. In this AR welding training, trainees are equipped with a commercially available welding torch and welding mask and train welding to a plastic work piece to be welded. A display is embedded inside the welding mask, allowing the welding trainee to experience the welding phenomenon as if he/she were actually welding while watching the CG representation of the welding phenomenon.

The AR Welding Training System

Although the AR Welding Training System provides training that cannot be experienced through conventional training methods, it does not completely replace actual welding training. Therefore, it is necessary to learn the posture and the type of welding rods through your AR welding training, and then perform actual welding training. By using this training method, we expect to increase the effectiveness of training more than before.

E-Learning

E-Learning (software for Windows) is required to set up training courses in the welding training simulator. Here you can not only create welding training courses, but centrally manage the results. Welding training courses can specify the type of welding, work piece type, plate thickness, base metal type, welding posture, welding wire/welding rod diameter, shielding gas type, welding length, luck stick method, welding direction, and can set the welding torch angle and welding speed during welding. Thus, through e-learning, training can be developed for various welding conditions.

AR Training Simulator

The AR welding training simulator has the ability to save, analyze, and evaluate simulation results, and after AR welding training, the welding torch motion can be replayed and graphically viewed to objectively learn whether the welding was good or bad. AR welding training results can be saved as data and compared with previous training results. The standard values and tolerance ranges for each item, such as the angle and speed of the training aid function, can be set arbitrarily, allowing welding training to be tailored to the customer's unique specifications and welding conditions.

The AR Welding Training Scheme brings solutions

1. Increased Motivation

  • The latest AR technology increases interest in welding technology and its possibilities
  • Enables trainees to train on their own by using the guide and scoring system functions
  • Visualization of training results improves training effectiveness
  • Demonstration of welding experience is possible at local events.

2. Efficiency improvement

  • Reduction of training preparation time and time spent by the instructor.
  • Save material costs for welding materials required for training.
  • In addition to Japanese, English, German, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and other languages can be used. It is practical for instructing foreign welding technicians as well.

3. Safety

  • No health hazard due to fumes
  • No arcing, thus reducing the risk of injury

Cost-effectiveness of AR welding training scheme

Welding consumables costs: 68% reduction
Actual welding training time: 56% reduction
Arc time rate: 66% increase
Number of qualified trainees: 34% increase

Overhead Crane Simulator (VR-compatible)

Training equipment for crane and derrick operator practical test

Addressing the Needs for Establishing Crane and Derrick Operator Training Courses

The implementation of the overhead crane simulator eliminates the need for complicated preparations such as crane installation, registration application and inspection for training institutions, reservations required for practical training, and outsourcing of moving arrangement work to an outside contractor. For the installation environment, a 3m2 space and 100V power supply in an existing classroom is sufficient. In addition, the instructor can be in a separate room from the students, watching the monitor while teaching.

Crane and Derrick Operator Training Equipment for Practical Test

Simulated crane for testing

  • Speeds at 7 test sites nationwide
  • Notch setting (as of 2020)
  • Ideal for practice of anti-vibration
  • Three horizontal cranks with foot brake operation

Safety and Space Saving

  • No need for a crane building, install in an office or classroom
  • Allows for stand-alone training
  • No accidents or injuries to worry about
  • Easy to install and maintain

Success Support Functions

  • Simultaneous display of VR and large screen
  • Display of suspended load height by stepping on the foot buzzer
  • Operation time display
  • Display of plane trajectory at the end of operation

Equipped with 5 training courses including running, traversing, and slanting courses.

Space-saving design ( 2.2m x 1.3m )

Training is possible with both a head-mounted display (HMD) and a large screen display.

The lifting height is displayed at the same time as the buzzer sound when the foot buzzer is pressed.

Parameters can be changed according to crane specifications.

Cooperative robot, program learning device with self-propelled robot

BRT-AG/CBT

The COBOTTA, a small cooperative robot from DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED, is combined with a self-propelled robot to enable learning from visual programming software, teaching tasks for cooperative robots that are beginning to spread to factory floors, full-scale industrial robot programming language, workpiece grasping by image processing, and more. The robot can learn not only single robots, but also multiple robots.

  • Trainees can learn to complete a product by having a self-propelled robot carry a workpiece and travel between multiple robots as well as a single robot, with each robot performing its own task.
  • Trainees are free to decide the placement of the robots and the path of the self-propelled robot, as well as the product to be manufactured by the robots, their movements, and the interfaces between the robots and the self-propelled robot, enabling them to learn how to build the entire system. The self-propelled robot can also run trackless or draw a line to be used as a line tracer.
  • The programming languages that can be learned range from visual programming that can be programmed even by beginners to high-level languages and languages used in Denso Wave Corporation's industrial robots.
  • The cooperative robot can be linked with a self-propelled robot using a photoelectric sensor.
  • The cooperative robot can be easily transported in a dedicated case.
