SPECIALIST WELDING


to complete by hand due to the weight and time requirements.


They are able to produce a weld without seam for many metres and work on plates at thicknesses of 150 millimetres, at angles. Because the arc and the weld metal are submerged beneath a layer of flux, the weld is high quality and produces no spatter.


VIRTUAL WELDERS


The college has four virtual welders which at an individual cost of £50k are a valuable asset, enabling students at all levels to practice different methods of welding in a safe environment without using expensive materials.


The virtual welders are very popular with students as they are able to prepare different test pieces, vertical, horizontal, flat or overhead in the same location.


Wearing a visor which shows them a simulated workplace scenario from a range of locations, e.g. a factory floor and holding the gun to the plate, they 'virtually weld' the task from the simulation. The teacher is able to watch the student’s progress on the screen and the work can then be assessed by the virtual welder and guide the student in improving their work.


PROVEN SUCCESS


The success of students moving into employment in this area is testament to the high quality of teachers and extensive equipment available.
