Komatsu simulators

Simulators are effective for quantitative training before you start operating real machines in the forest. For experienced operators, simulator training offers an opportunity to test new methods that can result in increased efficiency and productivity.

Smartflow options

As close to reality as you can get

Whether novice or expert, simulator operation should mirror real-life operation as far as possible. In our simulators, the machines perform the same way as they do in the forest. This includes, for example, how the head behaves when set against a tree and how the logs move during forwarding. What’s more, the forest can resemble the one you work in. You choose the terrain, landscape and tree species.

The instruction programme in the simulator guides the operator through basic training to full operation in the forest and the instructor can easily follow progress from their own workstation. The simulators are available in ten different language versions, as well as a laptop model. An exciting new feature is the VR option, which uses VR technology to take the simulator experience to new heights.

Create realistic virtual landscapes

The Scenario Editor offers a fully customisable training experience, allowing teachers to create realistic landscapes, set learning goals, and adjust difficulty to match operator expertise. With event-triggered guidance and progress tracking, it provides valuable feedback and keeps training both engaging and effective.

KF60

The KF 60 provides the user with a rugged simulator system packed with all of the latest Komatsu technology, all in a portable and easy to use format. The KF 60 lets you have a complete harvester and forwarder on your desk. The simulator is delivered without a main operator screen by default. For permanent installations a larger screen is recommended to provide a better experience. If you are travelling with the system and need to bring your own screen, a suitable one can be provided.
