  Mining methods have advanced tremendously through the years, with the result being increased productivity and profits. Essential to this optimisation process is the effective training of the operators of mining equipment, targeted at promoting both operator safety and efficiencies.
Crucial to the effective simulation of dragline equipment is the accurate physical modelling of the complex interactions between cables, couplings and bucket structures, together with the bucket interaction with the terrain, to provide realistic behavioural response of the dragline to operator inputs. Simulated bucket swing behaviour under various loads and cable lengths has to be close to perfect. No other dragline simulator provides the levels of dynamic realism provided by the CYBERMINE simulator.
Complementing the equipment simulation are ThoroughTec’s advanced soil interaction models that allow the instructor to specify properties of the terrain, requiring the operator to exercise correct hoist and dragging techniques for the terrain type in order to obtain efficient bucket fill factors.
CYBERMINE dragline simulators are delivered with a highly realistic, 3D operating mine world, complete with overburden, spoils and artificially intelligent automated equipment such as dozers, shovels and LDV's to support the drag line training and evaluation process.
Simulator exercises may be configured to address various training requirements, including operations with different overburden characteristics, varying weather conditions, night operations, sub-system failures and advanced emergency situations.
The entire exercise is continually monitored and recorded, including instrumentation states, controls interaction, bucket orientations and swing speeds, together with adherence to safety procedures, correct equipment handling techniques and response to emergency situations and failures. These performance reports together with the instructor’s after-action review capability provide a complete training and evaluation system.
CYBERMINE simulators provide an excellent training and evaluation tool for operators of dragline equipment, optimising safety and improving mine productivity.
