The LX6 shares the same underlying technology as the PRO4 and IM360 but with a smaller footprint platform.
SURFACE and underground mining equipment supplier Immersive Technologies has launched the latest addition to its medium fidelity simulator range, the LX6.
The brand new medium fidelity simulator platform offers the same value for early stage training as the high-fidelity simulators such as the PRO4, and is ideal for machine and site familiarisation, emergency response training and compliance training.
Compatible with a wide range of equipment modules or Conversion Kits® available from Immersive Technologies, the LX6 allows sites to expand their training throughput and extend the utilisation of existing simulator equipment Conversion Kits®.
The deployment of medium fidelity simulators such as the LX3 and now the LX6, has become a popular complement to high-fidelity simulators such as the PRO4 and IM360.
This combination allows mining operations to free up their high-fidelity simulators for later stage and business improvement focused training, while utilising medium fidelity platforms for early stage and compliance focused training.
The result is a solution that provides the required training throughput capacity, while being cost-effective.
“Through our industry leading technology and extensive mining experience, we continue to focus on driving customer safety and profitability,” Immersive Technologies product manager Ravitha Sukumaran said.
“LX6 is no different and provides a cost-effective way to train, assess and evaluate personnel in
a safe and efficient manner, minimising impact to production by reducing the amount of in-field training time.”
The wide horizontal field of view on the LX6 allows truck trainees to safely transition through intersections and become familiar with a site.
It also allows shovel and excavator operators to have a clear view when spotting trucks.
The large vertical field of view offers great ground visibility when digging, dozing or grading.
