Introduction
Trainees control a Roof Bolter (RB) in a virtual mine using controls that accurately resemble those of the real RB.
They work through a series of training scenarios which vary from elementary to very complex and challenging.
RB training may be enhanced by computer multimedia training and Virtual Mock Mine training.
5DT Roof Bolting Training Simulators are used across the globe to train thousands of operators.
It is a cost-effective training tool that increases safety awareness and allows accurate monitoring
of operator technique and actions. True-to-life realism enables trainees to transition from the classroom
to the workplace quickly and safely. The tireless efficiency of the system means that best practices can be drilled
into trainees while consistently high training standards are maintained.
You can increase control, reduce costs and improve the quality of your training processes today with a training system from 5DT.

Customization
The system may be customized to suit the unique requirements of Your Mine and Your Roof Bolter.

A large variety of different bolters may be simulated.

Custom mine layouts and models may be added so your people train in their "own mine".

Custom operational procedures, bolting patterns, bolting techniques etc. may be built in.

Computer Based Training modules and Virtual Mock Mines may include material, circumstances and hazards as
they are experienced in your mine.
Complementary Products
Computer Based Training - trainees are trained
in:

Rock Engineering theory

Identification of slips and other hazards

Steps to take to neutralize dangers
