Telescopic handlers (also known as telehandlers and telescopic handlers) are versatile machines that can be equipped with a wide range of accessories such as loaders, buckets, tubs, work platforms, crane hooks, etc. There are two main types: rotating and non-rotating. The simulator of LSyM is based on non-rotating models, although it is possible to incorporate this functionality on demand.

The telescopic handler simulated by LSyM comprises a wheeled motorised chassis, counterweight, on which a telescopic arm is assembled. This arm pivots on the chassis, and can be raised from a point below the horizontal to an angle approaching the vertical. At the end of the arm a support with two forks for handling palletized loads is assembled. The forks are automatically levelled in the longitudinal plane when changing the inclination of the arm.

Characteristics of the simulator

The simulated machine is a Terex/Genie GTH- 3007. Optionally, LSyM can model other machines.

We improve your skills

LSyM presents its Backhoe Advanced Simulator. For its development we have used the most advanced techniques in 3D graphics applications, turning the potential of one of the most powerful and extended graphics engines.

A Solution of Real Immersion.

Building an immersive environment based on “Virtual Reality” techniques similar to real environment daily working on a telescopic handler.

The handler’s driver will handle controls, feel the movements, hear sounds due to the operations carried out and see the work environment as if in the seat of a real machine.

Simulation environment of civil work

The simulation system reproduces high level of realism, the work environment that we find in a building work. Optionally, there are agricultural environments available too. Operators during simulation can interact with them directly or indirectly.

Running Many Types of Real Exercises.

Through the the simulator will be able to work under risk conditions, even we will be able to programme weather conditions, such as wind, rain or fog intensity and direction. On the other hand, from the interface of the instructor we may modify the conditions of the loads, and activate the most common breakdowns that occur in this type of machinery.

Sensors (Advanced and HID)

The events income and analogue signals system of the simulator is made to be highly configurable and can be used from gaming devices to high-level electronic boards.

Each client can configure through a simple interface the use of the controls to their liking and according to the type of equipment they use.

Moving platform

The simulator is capable of using a moving platform to simulate sudden movements and accelerations which occur in the real machine.

The main aim is to get the user perceive a greater sense of realism and immersion in learning. Many times, carrying out exercises with virtual reality simulators, either because of its difficulty and lack of physical responses, can cause demotivation on the user of these simulators.

Collaborative

The simulator is ready to simulate several cranes (of the same or different type) in the same environment at the same time.

This way a single instructor can evaluate two or more operators while they’re controlling a crane.

It is also possible to train the skills of future machine operators to better communicate and improve efficiency when working with others.

Languages

Our simulators offer a multi-language medium. Thanks to the settings panel, you can easily change the language in which the simulator is shown. We currently offer translations into Spanish, English, French and Portuguese, if the language you want is not among the above, please contact us.

Exercises editor

Thanks to the exercises editor, our simulator offers the possibility to create exercises for you. In the editor, you can add elements on stage with which to make practices shortcomings are detected on the student. The created exercise can be saved, so it can be made later by other students.

Tracker

Our simulators offer the ability of image tracking through compatibility with NaturalPoint’s products. This technology will add another degree of realism to the product and you can change the view point just moving your head.

Automatic Updates

This tool reports the launch of a new version of the simulator. Every time the application starts it connects to the LSyM group’s server and is responsible for searching for a newer version of software, if so, a screen with information about this new version, and a link to the direct download of the new executable is shown.

Groups and users management

The simulator provides instructions for the proper management of users and workgroups. Through the interface you may perform basic tasks such as creating, editing and deleting both users and groups, adapting the use of the simulator to customer needs. It also allows you to view statistics and evaluations of each user in a clear and detailed way.

Exercises assessment

Every time an exercise is performed on the simulator, the necessary data are stored to proceed with the assessment of the exercise itself. Users can access this information shown by the exercise report. This report contains outstanding data such as the motions or made ​​remarkable observations and presented to the user using tables and graphs showing in detail each of the evaluated parameters and information of interest such as the completion time of year, number of exercise performed, date, etc.

Debriefing

The possibility to play every exercise that has been done before is among the most beneficial features for training offer by the simulators. This feature is very important when it comes to identifying the faults that are committed as it can be played the exercises and watch the recording from any angle, rewinding or pausing the playback.

In addition, a situation that occurs in the training processes is that students always are prone to make similar mistakes. In our simulators debriefing system an instructor can playback exercises of any student in order to teach new students the mistakes they should avoid.

Weather conditions.

The simulator implements several types of weather situations that may be critical in the real world as could be low visibility for a very cloudy day or at dark night. These conditions are also reflected in the physical operation of the crane, since in rainy and windy days is much more difficult to carry out successfully the exercises.It is easy and fast to implement new types of exercises if necessary for some specification of a particular case.

Screens

The screens of the simulators are an important part. A wrong setup of the screens can make the user experience not to be utterly immersive when it is running.

Therefore, our simulators provide a very intuitive screens setting interface, easy to configure and designed to the screen system where the simulator is running be fully configurable. You can configure up to 8 screens arranged in any position at any angle. This allows endless possibilities for visual perception of the user who uses our simulator be identical to that perceived in real crane.
