The invention relates to a device () and a method for simulating a welding process. The device comprises a computer () having an input device () and an output device (), a welding torch (), a magnetic position monitoring device having at least one transmitter and a plurality of sensors, a retaining device () for a workpiece () used for the simulation and a visualization device () for generating a two- or three-dimensional image on the output device (). The retaining device () has a recess into which the workpiece () can be inserted, at least one transmitter of the position monitoring device being arranged below the recess at as small a distance from the workpiece as possible, and the retaining device () being designed as a small, portable box to be placed on a table ().

Device and method for simulating a welding process

The invention relates to a power jack () for a welding device (), in particular an electrode and/or TIG welding device, wherein the power jack () made of conductive material comprises a bore () for receiving a plug element () attached to a hose packet, and an axial guide groove () is disposed in the bore (), the guide groove being guided to the outside by way of a longitudinal groove () such that a locating pin () disposed on the plug element () can be inserted and rotated, wherein in the bore () a radial groove () is disposed and a retaining element () is positioned, preferably in the intersecting region of the groove () and the longitudinal groove (), and a spring element () designed to transmit power is disposed in the groove (), the spring element () protruding from the groove () and thereby reducing the diameter of the bore (), wherein the retaining element () forms a contact surface () for the ends of the spring element () which is configured over only part of the entire periphery.
