Virtual Machines

VIRTOOL
Interactive virtual learning environment for machine-tool processes.
Interactive 3D graphic-based training software application.
VIRTOOL Machine for training students in the preparation and use of swarf extraction machines (lathes and milling machines), both conventional and CNC.

With VIRTOOL Machine students can do basic training in a virtual machine that will considerably reduce the working time needed before a real machine, and help them acquire and reinforce the basics of preparation and conventional machining machine tool and CNC.

Virtual machine-tools that functions just like the real one machines. Each virtual machine is distributed with a complete case of study library and teaching multimedia material to resolve those cases.

LEARNING BY DOING
On the base of instructional design is problem-based learning and offer the possibility of training more autonomous. It uses an advanced instructional design based on the latest educational research and the latest technology. (PBL Problem Based Learning, Self-Training, Learning by Doing).

24 HOURS AVAILABLE MACHINE-TOOLS

Allows to work in low availability machines without time limit.

SECURE AND INDESTRUCTIBLE MACHINE-TOOL

Lower risk of accidents and equipment deterioration during learning process.

REDUCES COSTS OF THE LEARNING PROCESS

It reduces the necessary time in front of an operating machine. It provides a real effective learning with less support needs.

ONE PERSON ONE MACHINE-TOOL

Allows adjustment between workshop and classroom use, a very hard to get goal when you only have real machinery.

How to work with VIRTOOL Machine

The exercise library supplied with each virtual machine is divided in cases of study. The types of cases are very varied and complete, including from tool identification to the execution of complex machining processes. This variety enables the trainer and the student to carry out the training in whichever order they prefer. In VIRTOOL Machine the student/user gets knowledge by resolving cases of study into a virtual environment. The user has all the information necessary to deal with each case. An explanation of the case of study. Additional theoretical resources related with each case. Continuous communication of errors and guidelines that will help to solve each step to the consecution of the case. The system provides customized html reports that will help the evaluation of the done work.

INTERACTING WITH THE VIRTUAL MACHINE

It is done through a series of operations that enable students to mechanize complex parts: > Select: Allows you to identify items. > Assembly: Mounts or assemble an item in the machine or other item shown in the scene. > Disassembly: Allows you to disassemble, remove or release an item from the scene. > Close: Allows you to bind or fix a component to another machine using a tool if necessary. > Open: You can drop an item from the machine using proper hand tool. > Scroll: To move the movable elements sequentially or continuously. > Machining. > Flip the piece. > Viewer dimensions: On bounds viewer that works like the real thing. > CNC: This control manages and interacts with the machine as it was a real control.

MOVING IN 3D SCENE
Its simple and intuitive. Even includes preset views to turn to when looking for a specific element.

Licensing Customize your CLASSROOM

The modular protection system allows to configure ad-hoc licensing that fits to your needs. There are currently two protection modes: > USB key protection. > Internet license with three timing available. 4 months. 1 year. Unlimited. This way you can adapt its resources to current needs and provide students the opportunity to purchase the product for the period of training. Each machine is licensed separately.
