Good technical knowledge and proper operating technique will reduce machine downtime, increase productivity and safely in the work place. Training your operators with an Oryx Simulator will give you more tonnage per liter diesel while at the same time keeping the work environment safe.

Featuring authentic controls and operator seat from a Hitachi ZX250LC-6 excavator, in combination with an Oryx-developed high performance motion base, the simulator is the perfect environment to train operators in. A machine operator relies on all senses during normal operation and the ability to reply machine feedback is very important, especially when considering the safety aspect of the training.

Once a situation arises which might result in an accident, the operator needs to act instinctively if he is to prevent the accident. These reflex decisions are, to a high degree, based on machine motions and on the audio feedback.  

"We are proud of being a provider to Hitachi for their real-physics simulators. It is an important endorsement of our position as world leader," says Clarence Jacobson CEO at Oryx Simulations.

"Oryx has provided us with a state-of-art simulator which will prove itself as an excellent training tool for Hitachi operators. Solid Swedish design with Hitachi genuine seat and consoles. High resolution on-screen imagery and realistic movements due to the motion platform. Feels like a real Hitachi excavator! The various training exercises are challenging and a great way to improve operating skills," says Marcus Erasmus Training Instructor at HCME.

Oryx Simulations is looking forward to working together with HCME in further developing efficient operator training. If you have the opportunity we would like to meet you at Intermat Paris in France to tell you about us, the world leaders in the simulator industry. We will be waiting for you at Hall 5A L089.
