About The RealWeld Trainer™ system
The RealWeld Trainer™ system uses patent-pending technology that optically measures and scores hand motions applied against a targeted zone or “sweet spot” for a particular weld. Each time the trainee performs that weld, the system provides immediate, objective, graphical feedback of all deviations from the sweet spot, allowing instructors to focus on specific technique improvements for each trainee.
