DESCRIPTION
Simulator in which loading and unloading exercises are carried out with a magnetic overhead crane and a fork-lift truck. During the exercises, the weights and inertia of the loads are simulated, which adds an extra level of realism to the experience.
* To optimize the realism of the simulator, its use with additional peripherals (joysticks) is recommended.
OBJECTIVE
Teaching students how to operate the controls of a bridge crane and how to carry out different exercises so that they can apply the knowledge acquired in a real environment.
ACTIVITIES
- Learning to operate the controls of a magnet overhead crane.
- Learning to operate the controls of a fork overhead crane.
- Collecting billets using the electromagnet of a magnet overhead crane and loading them onto a truck.
- Collecting billets with a fork overhead crane and loading them onto a truck.
- Unloading billets using the electromagnet of a magnet overhead crane.
- Unloading billets with a fork overhead crane.
- Scoring based on the time taken to complete the tasks and the impact of the load on the environment and the truck.
