Comparison of training using welding simulator and real MAG welding

U ovom završnom radu opisani su simulatori za obuku zavarivača čija je primjena sve češća u edukaciji zavarivača. Korištenjem simulatora za obuku zavarivača, zavarivač stječe znanje i praksu koja mu je potrebna kod stvarnog zavarivanja bez trošenja električne energije, osnovnog i dodatnog materijala. Ovaj je način obuke efikasniji i jeftiniji te zanimljiviji u odnosu na stvarno zavarivanje. U prvome dijelu opisani su najčešći postupci zavarivanja, njihov način rada i oprema te su navedene njihove prednosti i nedostaci. Nadalje istraženo je i tržište rada te su opisani način stjecanja zanimanja zavarivač. Također su opisani postupci uvježbavanja zavarivača bez i uz pomoć simulatora za zavarivanje. Uz to su navedeni neki od simulatora koji se koriste, njihov način rada i oprema uz naglasak na simulator Fronius Virtual Welding 2.0 koji je detaljnije razrađen. Drugi dio završnog rada sadrži eksperimentalni dio u kojem se uspoređuje napredak uvježbavanja pomoću simulatora i stvarnog zavarivanja.In this final paper, simulators for the training of welders are described, the application of which is increasingly common in the education of welders. By using the simulator for training welders, the welder acquires the knowledge and practice he needs for real welding without spending electricity, basic and additional materials.This method of training is more efficient, cheaper and more interesting than real welding. In the first part, the most common welding procedures, their method od operation and equipment are described, and their advantages and disedvantages are listed. The labor market was also investigated, and the way of acquiring the profession of welder was described. Procedures for training welders without or with the help of welding simulator are also described. In addition, some of the simulators used, their method of operation and equipment are listed with an amphasis on the Fronius Virtual Welding 2.0 simulator, which is elaborate din more detail. The second par of the final paper contains an experimental part in which the progress of training using simulator and real weldnig is compare
