USA: RealWeld Trainer to Step Up Screening of Welders

RealWeld Systems, Inc., announced on April 3 that its patent-pending RealWeld Trainer™ system will support welding of eighteen inch joints, which meets or exceeds the test requirements of the AWS B2 specification for plate welding. The announcement was made at the Gulf States Shipbuilders Consortium Annual Conference in New Orleans where RealWeld is exhibiting and demonstrating.

Bill Forquer, Launch CEO of RealWeld Systems said:

 “Our early adopter customers are driving our development roadmap. And those customers consistently told us that training solutions limited to six-inch welds are insufficient to prepare for AWS certification and are just not real-world. Since we’re all about real welding training for real-world production conditions, it was imperative for us to develop this capability.”

The RealWeld Trainer™ is the only welding training solution on the market designed for a welding booth that can be used while under the hood with the arc on or for practice welding with the arc off. When customers configure their welding procedures in the RealWeld Trainer™ system, they will also select plate length of six or eighteen inches for Mig, Stick, and Flux Core processes welding fillet, lap, and groove joints in the flat, horizontal, and vertical positions.

Byron Dunn, President of the Gulf States Shipbuilders Consortium said:

 “We’re always excited to showcase innovative technologies at our conference. We’re especially pleased to see RealWeld focus on the critical issue of training welders better and faster for the shipbuilding industry.”

RealWeld Trainer™ can improve the screening of welders prior to being hired, assess skill certification levels, clone the technique of master welders into documented welding procedures, be integrated into community college curriculums, and narrow the skill gap of graduates being fully productive for their employer.
