Why is On-site Training Important?

On-site training is a critically important part of succeeding with VTube-LASER. We strongly recommend that you purchase at least one day of on-site training from us when you purchase your first VTube-LASER license.

On-site Training Automatically Extends the VTube-LASER Software Maintenance Agreement to ONE YEAR

The VTube-LASER license comes standard with 30 days of VTube-LASER Software Maintenance Agreement support. However, if you purchase on-site training with your new VTube-LASER license, then we will extend your SMP term to ONE YEAR - which gives you support and free updates for one year.

About the On-site Training Agenda

Training agendas for VTube-LASER usually follow the pattern shown below.

We often adjust the training depending on the customer's application needs.
 

Number of Trainees and Types of Trainees

The number of trainees in training depends on the role each trainee is assigned. There are two types of trainees: Hands-on and Observer

Hands-on Operator Trainees: 3 maximum

Hands-on trainees handle the computer and arm. n the steps we show below, many of the actions are hands-on practice. If we have 3 trainees, then the step will require 3 iterations. If we have 5 trainees, then the step will require 5 iterations. Having too many students in the hands-on training may limit how much information we can give. The fewer the number of hands-on trainees, the faster training goes.

Observer Trainees: 3 maximum

If you limit some of the trainees to observers, then the training will move more quickly, and we will be able to teach more information.

Appropriate Equipment

Large Monitors

Also, it is important to know that larger monitors are necessary for training larger numbers of trainees - whether they are hands-on or observers. For example, 6 total trainees cannot easily see a laptop monitor at the same time. It is very important to have a large monitor for a class with that many trainees. (Large = 27" or larger).

Amplified Sound

Please be sure that have amplified sound for this system so that everyone can hear the sound feedback.

 

Typical Training On-site Agenda

On-site Day 1

LESSON INSTALLATION / TRAINING TASK COMMENTS
1 Arm installation and setup Trainees can watch this process to learn how to setup the arm for use and take down the arm for storage.
2 Bender integration assistance Trainees can watch us if they want to know the technical parts of setup. It is best for an IT person to work alongside our technician during this step.
3 Probe and scanner calibration For operators
4 Setup a program from solid model For engineers and operators
5 How to setup a program from a print For engineers and operators
6 Arm connection and scanner setup For operators
7 Measuring Cut Planes (measuring the table surface) For operators
7 DCP - Diameter Cut Plane Setup For operators
8 General measuring setup (set your default tolerances into VTube-LASER) For operators
9 How to measure the tube/pipe For operators. This phase is intense training for how to handle the arm, how to scan the tube, and how to read the realtime Cylinder Fit data results (like Dual Cylinder Fit).
10 Understanding the inspection results to qualify the tube shape For engineers and operators. This includes information on the different kind of alignments and when to use them.
11 Using the Bender Setup window to connect to benders for setup and correction For operators. This lesson will be of particular interest to bender operators.
12 How to view reports For engineers and operators
13 How to reverse-engineer a tube For operators
14 Address any unique application needs For operators
15 Hands-on practice For operators

On-site Day 2

LESSON INSTALLATION / TRAINING TASK COMMENTS
1 Review what we learned on day 1 - quiz the trainees This good for all trainee types - Hands-on operators and observers
2 Practice full corrections loops with actual customer parts For operators
3 Review special application needs This good for all trainee types - Hands-on operators and observers
