OPERATION (USER MODE) VRTEX® ENGAGE™
Position
is the user’s ideal weld root location. This location can
change with each pass. When weaving, the ideal location is
considered the centerline of the weave.
Contact Tip to Work Distance (CTWD) for GMAW and FCAW are
the distances from the tip of the GMAW/FCAW gun to a plane going
through the ideal position location. See Figures B.42.
Work Angle is the angle between the electrode and workpiece as
seen in Figure B.43.
Travel Angle
is the angle between the electrode and the workpiece in
the direction of travel. See Figure B.44. The upper right area of the
screen displays if the user should be pushing or dragging. If the user
pushes when they should be dragging, they will not receive maximum
points. For pipe welding, this is the angle between the electrode and
the tangent of the pipe at that point.
PASS NUMBER
The pass number is displayed on the left center of the screen. To
change the pass being viewed touch the arrow icons.
TRAVEL DIRECTION
The travel direction is located on the right side in the middle of the
screen. When the user first starts to weld, a travel direction is sensed
by the system and an arrow indicating the direction is displayed. For
visual cues, the system assumes these directions. The visual cues
will automatically adapt to the travel direction used when the arc is
struck.
BEAD RENDER
An image of the completed pass appears in the middle of the screen.
STUDENT REPORT
The student report is a PDF file that captures the graph,
discontinuities, bead render, score and other information about the
weld. See Figure B.45. This PDF file can be printed or archived from
another computer to track student progress. Example of PDF below
shows students record.
