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.

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

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

Learners take a close look at the Edison Wire System and observe how the current values through the two lines and the neutral of the system change as the loads vary.

Learners read a description of the wiring configuration of a residential Edison Wire System, which consists of a transformer secondary circuit. The circuit supplies two 115-volt sources and one 230-volt source.

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

TIG Electrode Matching

The learner will gain an understanding of how a robot uses welding instructions to perform tasks. This learning activity includes video.

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

Students examine the four factors that affect resistance of a wire: temperature, length, diameter, and the type of material from which it is made. A short quiz completes the activity.

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

In this learning module you'll become familiar with different types of GTAW electrodes.

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 animated object, learners examine how a coil of wire provides more resistance to AC current flow than an uncoiled wire. This learning object contains audio.

In this interactive object, the learner reads an explanation of how various shielding gases are used in GMAW and FCAW. An exercise completes the activity.

This document is a visual and text description of the three-wire method for measuring screws for use with a lathe.

Robotic welding is an increasingly popular tool used in industrial welding applications. Knowing how to program the robot is key. Explore how to improve your programming skills by using if-then-else, calls and unconditional jumps in this learning activity.

Learners view video clips showing how coiled wire provides more resistance to AC current flow than uncoiled wire.

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