Welding Simulator​

Trainees weld with real torches and real body movement, while the system measures every pass. Instructors see exactly where technique breaks down and trainees repeat until it doesn't. No gas, no consumables, no waiting for a free booth.

Virtual Reality Welding Training Simulator​

Real torches, real motion tracking, real feedback. Trainees repeat the same joint as many times as it takes, with no gas, no metal, no waiting for a free booth. Every pass is measured, so mistakes get named instead of guessed at, and instructors follow the whole class from one screen.

See it in a live online demo with our team. No installation, no hardware on your side.

Real Time Welding Parameters

Track, Learn and Improve. Weld with Confidence

Torch angle and position monitoring in VR welding simulator

Torch Position

Tracks lateral placement along the weld line, so trainees stay centered on the joint instead of drifting off the seam.

Welding Simulator - SANLAB Welding Simulator

Travel / Torch Angle

Monitors work and travel angle through every pass, correcting electrode orientation as the joint type and position change.

Torch movement speed tracking for VR welding simulation

Travel Speed

Measures how fast the torch moves along the joint, flagging deviations that leave the bead too thin, too wide, or uneven.

Welding simulator torch-to-workpiece distance measurement

Work Distance

Analyzes the gap between contact tip and workpiece, keeping stick-out consistent so the arc stays stable from start to finish.

Welding Simulator - SANLAB Welding Simulator

Helmet - Plate Distance

Tracks how close the helmet stays to the work, so trainees see the puddle clearly without compromising posture or safety.

Industries We Serve

Welding Simulator - SANLAB Welding Simulator

Welding Simulator
for Industrial Manufacturing

Train welders on the floor, without stopping the line, from metal fabrication to automotive production.

New hires reach production standard faster when they build technique on a simulator instead of on scrap. Whether the work is body-in-white assembly, structural fabrication, or heavy equipment repair, every pass is measured, so training stays consistent across plants, shifts, and instructors. Stations run anywhere on site, with no gas, no consumables, and no booth downtime.

VR Welding Simulators for
Technical & Vocational Schools

Hundreds of practice hours before the first live arc for TVET institutes, vocational schools, and apprenticeship centers

A class of thirty can practice the same joint on the same day, without booth queues or a supervisor watching every attempt. Students see exactly where technique breaks down and repeat until it holds, at zero consumable cost. Instructors track progress across the whole cohort from one screen, with reports that support assessment and accreditation records.

VR Welding Solutions for
Industrial Training Centers

Run more welders through the program, with the same floor space and the same instructors

Training centers are measured on throughput and pass rates, not on how much steel they consume. Simulator stations let several trainees practice at once without booths, extraction, or shielding gas, and recorded metrics show who is ready for live work and who needs another week. Programs stay consistent whether they run for a single employer or a mixed intake.

Workforce Development
Welding Programs

Get people job-ready faster, and prove it with data

Public and nonprofit programs are funded on placement rates, so what matters is how many trainees finish employable and how quickly. Simulator stations let a cohort start on day one without a full welding shop, and every session produces a record of progress that satisfies funders, auditors, and employers. Learners with no prior experience build technique safely; returning workers refresh skills without occupying a live booth.

Welding Simulator
for Shipyards & Marine Training

Master the hardest positions before stepping into the hull

Overhead, vertical-up, and confined-space welding take the longest to learn and cost the most to teach in a live yard. On the simulator a trainee can repeat a 4F overhead pass fifty times in an afternoon, with torch angle and travel speed measured on every attempt. Welders arrive at the block already competent in position, so yard time goes to production instead of practice.

Welding Simulator
for Government & Defense Training

Standardized welder training across ministries, military technical schools, and national programs

National training programs are judged on scale and consistency, not on individual results. Simulator stations deliver the same curriculum and assessment criteria at every site, while central reporting provides evidence of completion, progression, and competency across cohorts and locations for procurement and oversight bodies. Systems deploy on site with no welding shop, extraction, or gas infrastructure required.

Welding Simulator
for Oil, Gas & Energy

Build pipe welding skill before it reaches a pressure joint

In pipeline, refinery, and plant work a single failed weld means shutdown, re-test, and lost production. Trainees practice 2G, 5G, and 6G pipe positions as many times as it takes, with root pass technique measured on every attempt and no coupon cost per repetition. Contractors screen candidates before mobilizing them to site, and shutdown crews stay current between turnarounds instead of losing skill during downtime.

Welding Simulator
for Mining & Heavy Industry

Keep repair capability on site, not three days away

When a bucket, chute, or crusher liner cracks, the cost is measured in downtime per hour. Sites that can weld their own repairs recover faster, but building that capability usually means sending crews off site for weeks. A simulator station runs in the maintenance workshop or the camp training room, letting technicians build and refresh technique between shifts. Every session is recorded, so supervisors know who is qualified for structural repair work before the next breakdown.

Welding Simulator
Certification & Assessment Centers

Pre-qualify candidates before they consume a test coupon

Test centers lose time and material on candidates who were never ready. Screening on a simulator identifies who can hold position, angle, and travel speed consistently, so only prepared candidates go through to the live qualification test. Every attempt produces an objective record rather than an examiner's judgment call, which supports fair, defensible, and auditable assessment decisions. Centers raise first-time pass rates without lowering the standard.

Welding Simulator
Construction & Infrastructure

Qualify structural welders on site, across every project location

Projects move, crews change, and every new site needs welders qualified to the same structural standard. Sending people back to a central training facility costs weeks of schedule. A simulator station travels with the project and runs in a site office or container, so crews build and verify technique where the work is. Recorded metrics give site engineers and EPC clients documented evidence of competency before anyone welds on a structural connection.
