Excavator Simulation

Excavator Simulator

It is important that you be trained on excavating techniques and tools before you go on the construction site behind the controls.  Excavators and other heavy equipment used for dredging, mining, excavating, loading and heavy lifting is complex and expensive equipment and training on the machinery itself is not practical.  This is where excavator simulation comes into play as otherwise personnel may not be able to use the excavator effectively or safely for the job that needs to be done.  Needless to say, both small and large construction jobs require that excavator operators be proficiently trained. Using various 3D modeling programs excavator simulator trains people on the tools and techniques of excavating jobs.  It allows the users to experience the action in actual digging by means of virtual digging.  

 What are the features of an Excavator Simulator? 

• PC Controls – Now, students interested in the domain of excavation can learn ‘on-the-job’ by getting simulated by the excavator simulator.  The real-world action site is duplicated on the PC setup and the person behind the controls is given full charge to carry out the digging task.  The person could choose between the SAE or the Backhoe Loader System.

• Start with easy tasks, move to harder ones – Quite often, individuals may not take to the simulation activity uniformly as others do.  The Excavator Simulator has exercises of progressive difficulty and complexity that allows individuals to move up the learning curve smoothly and learn the techniques of excavation.

• Track individual’s performance – Tracking an individual’s performance is critical to understand the individual’s assessment of his learning excavator techniques. Various metrics measured include but are not limited to – Bucket fill, stick angle, trenching accuracy, loading precision, execution time.  These metrics can be accurately measured for each simulation module enabling individuals to see their performance after completion of every module.

• Replica Controls – Excavator Simulator employs industrial strength joysticks for controls.  Connectivity is offered by built in USB cord.  Companies can choose to take the joystick with one push button (also known as stock) or joystick with control handle for their simulation exercises.  Both of them offer a close-to-real-world simulation exercise for individuals.
