In this interactive object, learners follow steps to assemble a wire feed welding torch or gun.

This module is identify parts of the GMAW wire feed equipment.

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

Robotic welding allows welders to create more consistent and higher quality welds. But, it requires you to understand the terminology associated with its programs. Watch this module to review terminology associated with robotic arc welding and the weaving process.

We’ll explore why everyone should reduce the waste they produce in the welding shop. We'll also demonstrate some ways to reduce waste as you work.

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

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 types of motion instructions used for programming a robot.

You’ll explore how to use Touch Sensing to do a one directional search with a Fanuc Robot and offset of the robot’s programmed path.

We’ll explore touch sense fundamentals, touch sense commands, and break down a touch sense program.

In this learning activity you'll gain tips for successfully completing welding assignments.

Robotic welding is revolutionizing welder safety, efficiency, and technique. Knowing how to program a robotic welder is key in this ever-changing industry. In this module you’ll explore what Through-Arc Seam Tracking (TAST) is, discover how it works, and see it applied on the job.

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

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

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

The learner will understand the design of a planetary gear drive and its advantages and disadvantages.

The Groove Weld Bend Test

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.

Explore welding electricity fundamentals including electron theory, parts of a circuit, welding power sources, and types of current.

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

The learner will...review the process for successfully completing a weld procedure specification for weld testing in the educational setting.

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.

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 activity, we'll examine some common discontinuities associated with SMAW welding and review ways to prevent these problems from happening.

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.
