The Wheel Loader module is based on the WA600-8 but is suitable for training on multiple models, ranging from the WA320-8 to the WA600-8. The simulation module is centered around productivity training set in a quarry environment but also features additional applications such as stone handling (with forks) and log handling (with a log grapple).
The Large Wheel Loader module will cover basic machine knowledge and basic operating principles as well as production centered training and safety critical situations. The module covers conventional operation as well as operations using the AJSS (Advanced Joystick Steering System).
Instructor Station
Introducing the Teacher Interface, a comprehensive toolset designed to redefine the instructor’s experience.
Comprising the 3D Scenario view and Settings panel, instructors wield unparalleled control over the learning environment with the option to trigger Events and manage Weather conditions. With intuitive toolbar buttons and input devices, instructors navigate the immersive 3D Scenario view, selecting viewpoints and managing scenes effortlessly.
The Teacher Camera offers automatic and free-flying modes, empowering instructors to tailor their perspective for optimal instruction. Essential toolbar functionalities include video recording, visibility masks, and overlay toggles, ensuring seamless customization.
Team Training
Explore the benefits of collaborative learning with Team Training, a multiplayer feature enabling operators of two simulators to seamlessly collaborate within the same environment.
While one operator practices loading techniques with the Hydraulic Excavator or Wheel Loader module, their counterpart can simultaneously hone their skills with the Rigid Truck module in real-time. This dynamic approach fosters enhanced coordination and communication between operators, optimizing training outcomes and preparing teams for real-world scenarios.
Step-by-Step Guidance
Using the Komatsu step by step training approach developed and verified by Komatsu’s master trainers, the Large Wheel Loader module will guide the operator through all machine functions and relevant menu options for the Komatsu Wheel Loader. Full knowledge of the machine’s functions ensures that the operators are prepared to make full use of their Komatsu machine.
Scenarios and situations
Set in a large quarry environment, the Large Wheel Loader module features 12 scenarios covering basic operations, operating principles, production enhancement, block handling and log handling as well as scenarios teaching the operator how to correctly respond to safety critical situations. A total of 49 potential operator errors are tracked and the module implements 9 safety critical situations including loss of steering, brake overheating and tire blowout.
Time of day is configurable as is the weather allowing the instructor to tailor the scenarios to perfection. The operator errors tracked by the system can be individually enabled to allow for site specific regulations. The module is also capable of handling reports in both metric and imperial units.
The simulation module is currently available in 19 languages and can be expanded with additional languages upon request.
Some currently supported languages are English, Spanish, German, Finnish, French, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish, Chinese, Thai, Arabic and Japanese.
Please contact us if you are interested in a demo of the Wheel Loader module. The simulators are available at multiple Komatsu locations and if not available close to your location, a web demo could be set up upon request.
