Mining Drilling Rig Training Simulator
A mining rock drill rig training simulator is a hardware-and-software simulation system that replicates the cab, controls, and operating logic of a real underground or surface drilling jumbo (such as Sandvik Boomer, Epiroc Simba, or development/long-hole drill rigs) inside a 3D virtual mine environment.
It lets trainees practice startup, tramming, boom positioning, collaring, drilling to pattern, troubleshooting hydraulic or electrical faults, and emergency response—without consuming fuel, wearing drill steels, or risking injury in a live stope.
The simulator typically includes a 1:1 or scaled replica cab with pedals, joysticks, instrument panel, and emergency stops; a multi-screen or VR visual system showing tunnel face, rock profile, and blind spots; force-feedback and motion platforms on advanced units; and an instructor station where a trainer injects scenarios like broken drill rod, roof fall, hard vein, or hydraulic leak, then auto-scores hole deviation, cycle time, and safety violations.
Mines use it for onboarding new operators, type-conversion retraining when switching rig models, remote-control familiarization for autonomous fleets, and certified safety recurrency—cutting real-machine downtime and drill consumable cost while standardizing "one best cycle" across crews.
Why use simulators for training ?
Simulation training can greatly reduce risk, cost, unplanned maintenance, improve trainer efficiency and maximize productivity
Helps trainees familiarize themselves with basic machine operations and practice possible emergency situations in a safe environment.
"Muscle memory" to easily transition to real machine operation.
Indoor operation, do not occupy the site, not affected by the environment.
Reducing the "sitting time" on the real plane can save a lot of fuel costs, energy conservation an environmental protection.
With assessment function, the assessment can test qualified operator.
Reduced wear and tear on machines used for training.
Operators gain regular and safe operating habits;
Provide professional training to equipment owners while saving a lot of money and reduce accidents.
Application
It is used for many global work machinery manufacturers to design and implement simulator solutions for their machines;
It offers next generation work machine training solutions for schools in the fields of excavation and logistics.
