 THE LINCOLN ELECTRIC WELDING SCHOOL

Overview of Welding School

School Offering WELDING INSTRUCTORS
Lincoln Electric operates the longest running welding school in
the world. Founded in 1917, the school has taught over 150,000
students from the United States and abroad. Our professional
staff instructors bring a wealth of knowledge and experience
to every classroom and lab experience.

Lincoln Electric’s Welding School offers a variety of classes,

from a six week Basic SMAW course to an advanced twenty
week Comprehensive Program, as well as one week classes
on specific welding processes, certification or customized Adam Webb Kelly Bean Lance Besse
programs. Unless indicated otherwise, courses are held
8:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. daily, 5 days per week and 50 weeks per year.
Students spend about 20% of their time in the classroom and
80% in the booth learning to weld. The instructor to student
ratio is kept low to provide plenty of individual guidance. A
large supply of steel plate is provided so students spend all
their time learning to weld, not cutting and preparing
practice coupons.

Robotic Programming Training Course Prerequisites

The robotic programming training course is conducted on a combination
lecture-laboratory basis. Typically, students are grouped (2) per robot
and work as a team in performing the hands-on exercises. The course is
intensive. Students attending are expected to have some experience in
one or more of the following:

Welding, Electrical, Computer, C.N.C

Prior robot programming experience is a plus. Assignments are made which
require some evening study. The proper selection of the employees to be
trained and their interest in being trained are critical success factors in any
robot installation.

Students should have experience in GMAW and welding processes. The

basic robot programming class is geared towards programmers responsible
for maintaining their systems.

ROBOTIC TRAINING

WeldPRO™ – Offline Robot Programming

Course Duration
The duration is 2 days.
Frequency of the course is 4 times per year. Onsite training taught on
an as-requested basis.

Course Description
WeldPRO™ is FANUC® Robotics’ plug-in to the RoboGuide off-line
programming tool, allowing users to simulate a robotic arc welding
process in 3-D space. Driven exclusively by a FANUC® Robotics Virtual
Robot Controller, WeldPRO™ is empowered with the most accurate
program teaching tools and cycle time information available in any
simulation package.

A user can easily navigate through WeldPRO™ to create complete workcells

by importing actual tooling and workpiece CAD files. Anyone familiar with
programming a FANUC® robot will be able to easily create new weld paths
with proper torch angles and process parameters. All programs and settings
from the virtual workcell can be transferred to the real robot to decrease
installation time.

Prerequisites
The person attending must have completed the Lincoln Automation Basic
Robotic Programming and System Training Course.

Field Service Shop Training

INSTRUCTORS
What Is It?
Lincoln Electric offers a variety of training courses for our network of
authorized field service shops. The courses cover detailed instruction on how
to troubleshoot and repair various Lincoln Electric welding equipment. They
also include discussions on basic electricity and welder components, basic
circuitry and theory of operation. In addition there are instructions on using
Lincoln Electric’s Service Navigator software and completing warranty repair
claims. The classes are approximately 50% classroom instruction and 50%
hands-on demonstrations and practice in the repair lab. The courses are
offered at both our world headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio and at various
District Sales Office locations throughout North America.
Jorge Adams Dave Hall

Who’s It For?
These courses are intended for the service and repair personnel at all
authorized field service locations. Courses vary from standard training for
newer, less experienced technicians, to advanced training on high technology
products and robotics for veteran technicians. New product courses are also
offered to keep your shop updated on the latest Lincoln Electric equipment.

The Procedure Handbook of Arc Welding (PH)

14th Edition
Published by The James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation
With over 500,000 copies of previous editions published since 1933, the Procedure
Handbook is considered by many to be the “Bible” of the arc welding industry.
The hardbound book contains over 750 pages of welding information, techniques,
procedures, photographs, drawings and charts. Much of this material has never
been included in any other book. A must for all welders, supervisors, engineers and
designers. Many welding instructors will want to use the book as a reference for all
students. $30
Metals and How to Weld Them (MHW)
2nd Edition
by T.B. JEFFERSON and GORHAM WOODS
This book describes the internal structure of metals and its relation to mechanical
and physical properties and weld ability. This dual purpose textbook and reference
manual is written in non-technical language so students, welders, supervisors,
engineers and educators will easily understand all data. The 400 page book is 6”x9”
with gold embossed hard cover.
