trainer provides specific instructions for corrective movements. In a subsequent simulation step, the weld joint can be visualized to enable an optical assessment of the welding results. Data collected during the training session can be saved for documentation purposes and further analysis. The welding simulator provides prospective robot programmers a basic understanding of the requirements of robotaided welding, independently of production facilities. The system includes a computer-based training device with integrated touchscreen, a lifelike welding torch, and dummy components for the various weld joint profiles and welding positions.
