Affordable and Stable Hardware Achitecture - A modular strategy leverages the powerful capabilities of the modern PC. This modular strategy utilizes existing and proven simulation modules designed through years of cutting edge development to create a new, more powerful and more affordable simulation training solution.
Visual System - The simulator closely relpicates the field-of-vision experienced by operators on the actual equipment. A multi-(3-12) channel, PC-based visual system provides wrap-around views of the simulated arena as well as the view looking out of the cab. Our systems us the latest technology for manipulating and displaying the graphics during trainer operation. The image subsystem provides high update rates (minimum 60 Hz), exceptional visual image content, and a highly reliable display projection system to provide realistic out-the-window graphics. The customer may choose from high definition LCD's, rear projection or edge-blended, geometrically warped images on an immersive, spherical dome.
Motion System - The 'feel' of operating the actual equipment is accurately recreated by using a physics-based simulation model tightly integrated with a full motion system. If the simulation calls for a shifting load, the simulator reacts appropriately so teh trainee feels the load shift in the simulator's movement and controls. By using elecric actuators instead of hydraulic equipment, the simultor is more reliable, quiet and requires less maintenance.
Instructor Station - This is a powerful tool allowing the instructor to control the simulation environment, monitor trainee progress, and track performance statistics. Here an instructor can set various load conditions, faults, and environmental factors to tailor training of specific needs and focus students on particular skills. The instructor acts as "dispatch" on complex pre-determined scenarios and even on-the-fly commands.
Additionally, the simulator offers many instructor-initiated faults such as a loss in oil pressure, equipment malfunctions, low pressure in a tire, and electrical failures.
Reconfigurable Controls - The full-size models enable operators to easily swap control sets between various crane types, thereby utilizing a single hardware base to simulate multiple equipment types.
SimFusion (Full Team Training) - GlobalSim simulators can be networked together to provide an enhanced training environment. For example, dock gantry and straddle carriers can be trained together with the same tasks, environment and conditions in the same arena. Working and training together in concert creates an even higher level of realism and prepares each trainee for the challenges of real-world operations.
