For training for airplanes. Yes. Gives you time to learn reading of instrumentation and procedures without the pressure.simulator or software cannot replace what happens in real life not in my eyes when it comes to some stuff
i believe welding comes into that point

Even for learning tracks pre race.
But for something like welding I cant see the point. Proof is in the welds.
A good reply. I checked the cost of these - £49,000! Wow!!!I have used the Lincoln vrtex360 system on mig and tig. For teaching muscle memory and hand/eye coordination it is a good system.
The mig setup is much better than the Tig setup... It really does a good job of teaching ctwd (stick out) torch angle, travel speed etc.A good reply. I checked the cost of these - £49,000! Wow!!!
There would have been some dull answersI think the OP was asking whether anyone has tried them, not if they’re any good.
Personally I’ve seen videos of them in action and, obviously they’ll never be like the real thing but I believe for getting Joe Public interested in the process then it would be an excellent starting point.
Getting the average person in to a workshop to try welding is not easy but get turn interested in the first place - no harm in a sim.
Well I would have expected a bit of elaboration like Hugh F didThere would have been some dull answers
Yes

No

Agreed. However, the importance of getting people in the classroom interested enough to actually sign up to become a Welder cannot be underestimated.49k. I can buy a lot of gas and steel for a lot less than that.
