Oxy-Acetylene Torch Simulator
Lighting Simulators and Controllers DO NOT include LEDs
Since scale and applications can vary, LEDs must be purchased separately.
Finally, welding simulation that looks just like the real thing! This simulator is configured for connection of two LEDs (not included) to accurately reproduce the varying intensity, intermittence and slight color changes just like real welders. Nano LEDs are perfect for reproducing these effects in scenes where the person doing the work is visible. Larger LEDs can be used inside a structure or underneath whatever equipment is being worked on.
Requires one Yellow and one white LED
Oxygen/Acetylene, or gas welding and cutting have been around since the turn of the 20th century (about 1897) and have been seen in all aspect of manufacturing and construction since. It is very portable and a relatively inexpensive way to quickly and permanently join or cut steel and several other types of metal. Those of you familiar with the process know that there are several steps required to ignite and adjust a gas welding or cutting torch in preparation for the actual process. The Ngineering simulator recreates these startup effects as well as the actual color and intensity shifts seen during a welding or light-duty cutting operation. The sequence is as follows:
Approx. 5 seconds after Simulator power on:
-
Acetylene gas side of torch is turned on (low) and igniter (usually a flint striker) strikes igniting the acetylene gas. This produces a brief white flash of the igniter followed by the orange glow of the burning gas.
-
The oxygen side of the torch is turned on and adjusted to produce the white-hot flame required for the welding or cutting operation. This changes the orange glow to a white light.
-
During a welding or light-duty cutting process, variations in torch position and the material at work cause the visual effect of varying color shifts and intensity between yellow and white to occur. This is reproduced with subtle but noticeable changes to mimic this process
-
After approx. 10-12 seconds the torch is shut off and after about 5 seconds the process repeats from step 1.
