Simlog Harvester Personal Simulator

Simlog’s Harvester Personal Simulator puts you at the controls of a tracked carrier equipped with an articulated boom and free-swinging “dangle-type” harvester head. Training efficiency is delivered through a modular Instructional Design that teaches real skills for productive and safe equipment operations in the field. You can change the viewpoint during the simulation at the touch of a button.

You can either use your PC or choose the convenience of our PC bundle with the Simlog software already installed, licensed, and ready to go in English or simulation software (in English or French).

Software Description

There are eight “Simulation Modules” of increasing difficulty, starting with controls familiarization. Later Simulation Modules feature directional felling, processing stems at the roadside, and finally selective thinning.

Simulation Modules

  • Harvester Head Functions
  • Controlling the Movement of the Harvester Head
  • Simple Felling
  • Simple Felling with Cutting-To-Length
  • Simple Felling and Decking
  • Multiple Felling and Decking
  • Harvester as Processor
  • Selective Harvesting with Carrier Motion

Key Performance Indicators

Key Performance Indicators measure how quickly and how carefully the simulated work is performed, including execution time, stump height, felling accuracy, and decking accuracy. In this way, the feedback is diagnostic, instead of just a consolidated pass/fail score.

Operator Chair for Harvester Personal Simulator

Simlog’s Operator Chair with industrial controls is a cost-effective way to train harvester operators with our harvester simulation software in a safe and realistic environment.

Compared to Replica Controls with Tabletop Mounting Brackets, Simlog’s Operator Chair offers a superior simulation experience, thanks to an authentic operator seat with consoles for the left and right hands, mounted on an industrial platform with casters, for easy portability.

The Operator Chair is configured with Simlog’s Multi-Function Replica Controls consisting of USB-ready industrial joysticks that provide easy connectivity. The joysticks feature 8 push-buttons, plus a trigger, and are designed for use with many Simlog simulators. But if you already have a Simlog Operator Chair that you are using with some other Personal Simulator, then you may be able to re-configure that Operator Chair by purchasing additional elements.

Key Features

  • Authentic industrial operator seat, with headrest, air suspension, and seat-belt
  • Adjustable seat position (forwards/backwards, three vertical positions)
  • Adjustable armrests (in height and angle)
  • Integrated consoles for left and right joysticks
  • USB-ready Multi-Purpose Replica Controls
  • Steel platform, with heavy-duty casters for easy portability

Specifications

  • Overall Dimensions: L 60” x W 30” x H 47”
  • Weight: 330 lbs.
  • Shipping Dimensions: 67″ x 43″ x 44″
  • Shipping Weight: approximately 550 lbs. One unit per skid, not stackable

Harvester Personal Simulator Replica Controls

These Replica Controls from Simlog feature industrial strength components. There are a total of 8 push-buttons for the thumb, plus a trigger (not shown). The USB electronics are built right into the base.

The controls are multi-purpose, so they can be used with Simlog’s Hydraulic Excavator, Bulldozer, Wheel Loader, Mobile Crane, Tower Crane, Forklift, Harvester, Forwarder, and Drill Jumbo Personal Simulators. This means that if you are a Simlog customer, you may be able to re-use the Replica Controls that you already have.

Custom Travel Cases for Replica Controls

For all setups, Simlog’s Custom Travel Case makes transportation easy.

Key Features

  • Made-to-measure, with dedicated slots for levers, joysticks, pedals, steering wheel, and tabletop mounting brackets
  • Space for a laptop PC, cables, and documentation
  • Pull-out handle, with multiple positions
  • Wheels (casters)
  • Cases are “stackable,” for easy transport

Specifications

  • Overall dimensions: 30″ x 24″ x 19″
  • Approximate weight: 50 lbs. when empty, up to 100 lbs. when full (depending upon the Replica Controls)

Key Features

  • Highly realistic simulation graphics and physics
  • 8 Simulation Modules of increasing difficulty
  • 10 unique Performance Indicators to comprehensively evaluate the simulated work
  • Many kinds of USB-ready simulator controls and mounting options
  • Functionality to slow down, speed up, or reverse control functions
  • Viewpoints from inside and outside the cabin

Sample Modules

Module 1: Harvester Head Functions

The objective of Module 1 is to learn to control the functions of the harvester head by mastering the push-button “grips” mounted on the operator joysticks.

Module 4: Simple Felling with Cutting-To-Length

The objective of Module 4 is to learn the basics of the felling and processing trees, to create logs of the specified length, while minimizing stump height.

Module 8: Selective Harvesting with Carrier Motion

The objective of Module 8 is to learn the basics of driving tracked carriers and selective harvesting.

Forwarder Personal Simulator

Simlog Forwarder Personal Simulator
Only Simlog offers the variety of setup options needed to suit your operator training budget.
Simply set up the simulator controls , install the simulation software (in English or French) on your desktop or laptop PC, and begin! The simulation software puts you at the controls of a typical forwarder equipped with an articulated boom, telescoping extension, and free-swinging grapple attachment. You can even change the viewpoint during the simulation at the touch of a button.

Wheeled Material Handler Personal Simulator

Simlog Personal Simulators for Training Heavy Equipment Operators
Rising workforce shortages are creating strong demand for skilled heavy equipment operators.
Simlog's new Wheeled Material Handler Personal Simulator puts you at the controls of a typical wheeled material handler equipped with an articulated boom, four-tine grapple, elevating cab, and outriggers. Many different kinds of situations typical of (metal) scrap recycling yards are presented, in order to address the training needs of a wide variety of customers using different operational practices.

Bulldozer Personal Simulator

Simlog Bulldozer Personal Simulator - Operator Chair
It's time to look again at the training simulator idea, but in a brand new, cost-effective way to complement, not replace, real seat-time.
Simlog's Bulldozer simulation software can also be configured, in order to simulate the behavior of a wide variety of bulldozers. For example, you can use separate pedals for Decelerator and Brake, or just a single pedal that combines both functions, to reproduce the different pedal arrangements found in real bulldozers.
