In this interactive object, learners practice their 3D visualization skills by identifying the correct isometric view of an object. Front, side, and top orthographic views are shown.

The learner will understand how to view an object for interpretation in the standard orthographic format and then accurately sketch three orthographic views using 3rd angle projection.

In this interactive object, learners examine sectional views used in engineering drawings. The sections shown are full, half, offset, aligned, revolved, and broken-out. Learners match drawings of sectional views with the names of the views.

The learner will be able to read and interpret thread notes from a print.

The learner will gain an understanding of robot motion control by comprehending the fundamentals of the encoder.

In this learning object, you’ll explore what tools should be a part of every welding tool bag.

The learner will view videos showing the movements of each axis of the six-axis robot.

In this activity you'll identify several hazards in a welding environment.

The learner will identify components of a welding robot and determine if the robot is set up correctly to avoid singularity.

The learner will identify the types of motion instructions used for programming a robot.

In this animated and interactive object, learners follow steps that begin with choosing the correct drive roll and include feeding the electrode wire from the spool to the welding gun.

The learner will understand the inner workings of the strain wave gear principle.

In this learning activity, you’ll explore the characteristics of common, carbon steel shielded metal arc welding electrodes, which fall under American Welding Society specification A5.1.

In this interactive object, learners read an explanation of the electrodes used for welding with the GMAW and FCAW processes. In two matching exercises, students test their knowledge of classification and specification numbers.

The learner will understand proper safe handling and installation procedures for shielding gas cylinders.

In this interactive and animated object, learners examine orthographic projection and the Glass Box Theory. Front, side, and top view development is demonstrated with pictorial views of each object to help develop 2D to 3D visualization skills.

Learners view wire feed power sources ranging from 110-volt, single phase units to 460-volt, three-phase units. A description and photos of each are provided.

The learner will identify the steps and proper techniques for installing a wire spool on a welding machine.

The learner will learn the programming steps that are used to create circular motions with robots.

The learner will identify the advantages and disadvantages of the four modes of GMAW transfer.

In this interactive object, learners read the common abbreviations used in engineering drawings and then test their knowledge in three short exercises.

Students view a video that shows the correct methods for starting a GTAW weld pool and adding filler. It focuses on the two problems that many students have – adding filler too soon and angling the torch so that the filler melts prematurely on the filler rod. Note: This activity is 3.6 mb.

The learner will gain an understanding of the inner workings of the cycloidal gear drive while watching a video and listening to an explanation of its features.

Learners will follow general tips and tricks for improving their basic welding technique.

Learners will understand the technical terms used in the context of the SDS to help them interpret its information.
