Abstract: An example weld training system includes a display device; an input device; a processor; and machine readable instructions cause the processor to demonstrate to a user an effect of a combination of welding-related variables by: enabling the user to design a weld procedure using the input device by selecting weld parameters including weld current and weld voltage; simulating a welding operation on a simulated workpiece using the selected weld parameters in a welding model and a simulated physical welding environment to determine a modeled result of the welding operation; displaying a simulation animation of the welding operation on the display device according to the simulation; displaying the modeled result of the weld on the display device using at least one of an image of a surface of a weld bead or a cross-section of the weld bead and the simulated workpiece; and displaying information about an anomaly present in the weld determined based on the simulation, the information about the anomaly comprising at least one of a cause of the anomaly, a suggested change in one or more of the welding-related variables to avoid the anomaly, or a location of the anomaly in the image of the weld bead or in the cross-section of the weld bead.

Abstract: A welding training system includes one or more welding operator device which provides positional feedback relevant to a quality weld. The positional feedback is analyzed and, when the positional feedback is outside of a predetermined range, a signal is provided to the welding operator. In one embodiment, tactile feedback is provided in a welding gun.

Abstract: Embodiments of a welding power supply include an engine adapted to drive a generator to produce a first power and a energy storage device adapted to discharge energy to produce a second power. The welding power supply also includes control circuitry adapted to detect a commanded output. The control circuitry is adapted to meet the commanded output by controlling access to power from the energy storage device to produce the second power when the commanded output is below a first predetermined load level. The control circuitry is further adapted to meet the commanded output by controlling access to power from the engine and the energy storage device to produce the first power and the second power when the commanded output is above a second predetermined load level.
