Surface Drill Rig Simulators |
|
  The effective training of operators of surface drill rig machinery in mining operations is essential for optimising productivity, improving safety and minimising operating costs. Mistakes made in the drilling cycle have extensive downstream cost implications for the mining operation. In light of this, the CYBERMINE surface drill rig simulator has been developed to provide for the training, re-training and evaluation of operators of this equipment in a surface mining environment.
The CYBERMINE surface drill rig operator views the simulated world on three high resolution, wide screen projected displays strategically located about the operator's cab to allow the effective execution of both drilling and propelling operations. The entire operator's cab is replicated to provide all drilling and propelling instrumentation and controls, correctly located about the operator.
The 3D mining environment delivered with this CYBERMINE simulator provides typical challenges, requiring the operator to employ due care and skill whilst preparing, propelling and drilling in order to avoid equipment damage. During the propulsion and drilling cycles, the operator executes all tasks as he or she would in the real equipment. Vehicle propulsion models realistically move and rotate the simulated vehicle, while accurate drilling module behavioural dynamics, interacting with simulated rock characteristics (hardness and drillability) provide a highly realistic drilling experience in which safety and productivity are vividly experienced.
The operator’s inputs are continually monitored and recorded, together with adherence to safety procedures, accuracy of drilling to plan, 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 drill rig training and evaluation system, aimed at optimising operator safety and improving mine productivity.
Highly efficient and effective training is therefore realised with no loss of production and no danger of accidents, even in the most complex of emergency situations to which the operator might be expected to respond.
