Komatsu Mining Corporation
ForgeFX Simulations is proud to be a training simulator development vendor for Komatsu Mining Corporation, a Japanese multinational corporation that primarily manufactures construction, mining, forestry and military equipment. ForgeFX has developed simulation-based training programs for Komatsu Mining’s underground equipment, as well as surface mining equipment training simulators for Komatsu’s subsidiary, Joy Global, a company that manufactures and services heavy equipment used in the extraction and haulage of minerals. Delivering training simulators for their underground longwall systems, loaders and haulers, as well as simulators for surface mining rope shovels, blasthole drills and front-end loaders, ForgeFX has become an expert at developing virtual training simulator systems for heavy earth moving equipment.
The training simulation applications listed below are part of the suite of products that ForgeFX has developed and maintains for Komatsu:
- This training simulator was developed for the LeTourneau 2350 front-end wheel loader, the largest rubber-tired loader in the world. The operator can obtain the coordination skills they needsto get efficient cycle times and develop operating habits that maximize productivity.
- The 18HD training simulator allows operators to train on almost every aspect of the loader’s operation. The simulator covers everything from equipment controls familiarization, to full machine operation training, to specific underground mining spatial relations challenges.
- The 4100XPC shovel training simulator helps operators learn to safely move more material in less time with an electric rope shove. The simulator allows operators to master the equipment controls and become familiar with the spatial challenges posed by the mining environment.
- This simulator was developed for Komatsu’s line of P&H Blasthole Drills, built for the toughest hard-rock mining operations in the world. The simulator teaches people how to operate real-world drills and reduces training costs and associated equipment damage.
- The longwall system simulator trains operators of this sophisticated collection of mining equipment, and the complex process which demands a detailed understanding of the operation of each component and the interactions they have with other critical components.
