• Travel Speed Visual Cue
• CTWD (Contact To Work Distance) Visual Cue
• Arc Length Visual Cue
• Travel/Work Angles Visual Cue
Visual cues are aids to help users learn faster. The
travel speed, CTWD, arc length, and travel/work angle
cues indicate whether the user is within the tolerances
set in the tolerances editor. Generally, these cues are
color coded as well as symbolic. When cues are red,
they indicate being out of tolerance. Yellow cues indi-
cate close to tolerance, but not optimal. Green cues
indicate being within tolerance and close to optimal.
The
“Cheater” Lens
magnifies the image as seen by
the user in the helmet and in the welderʼs view. The
user can toggle between 1.25X, 1.5X, 1.75X, 2X select
their option with the red select button.
Travel Speed
turns on the travel speed visual cue.
This cue is located on the side of the VR
GMAW/FCAW Gun or VR SMAW device. This cue
uses the color coding position to indicate travel speed.
Note:
The goal is to get the arrow pointing up while
keeping it green.
TRAVEL SPEED VISUAL CUE
The
CTWD
(Contact To Work Distance) cue is only
available for processes using the VR GMAW and VR
FCAW gun. This cue uses color and position to indicate
proper CTWD. The goal is to get the tip of the green
arrow on the line of the “H” bar and keep the arrow
color green.
