mixed-reality welding simulator
The simulator combines a 360-degree virtual setting with an industrial welding torch to recreate welding operations without producing an electric arc. Trainees can therefore practise repeatedly without exposure to sparks, smoke or hazardous fumes.
The system also removes the need for welding wire, electrodes, gas and steel plates during training, railway officials said. mixed-reality welding simulator mixed-reality welding simulator mixed-reality welding simulator mixed-reality welding simulator Ahmedabad: Railway welders can now train for complex jobs without creating a single spark. The Ahmedabad division of Western Railway has commissioned a high-tech mixed-reality welding simulator at Sabarmati wagon depot, offering an immersive virtual environment that reproduces real-world railway welding conditions. An optical infrared tracking system monitors every movement of the torch and provides live feedback on key parameters, including arc length, torch angle and travel speed. After each exercise, it generates a virtual cross-section of the weld and flags defects such as porosity, undercut, spatter and inadequate penetration, enabling welders to correct their technique immediately.
