Customized training for operating your universal tamping machine

The use of modern simulation tools for training maintenance machine operators and perfecting their skills is becoming increasingly popular. It is reason enough for Plasser & Theurer to offer even more in this area with the new UnimatSimulator. Training for operating eight different universal tamping machines is currently available on the simulator, meaning that it can be highly customized to each user and machine configuration.

More and more companies operating track maintenance machines are recognizing the benefits of simulator training: faster training, more efficient perfection training, and lower training costs. The new UnimatSimulator is the first system on which training with eight different universal tamping machines is possible. It is housed in two containers that can be transported to the location of any customer around the world. Operators of Unimat fleets can thus train or further improve the qualification status of their teams working on different machine types in short periods of time.

Track generator with even more options

The new UnimatSimulator has an integrated track generator with add-ons to better cater to the machine operator’s existing knowledge and to be able to carry out specific training tasks tailored to particular track conditions. It is possible to choose between fixed or movable turnout frogs, different turnout radii, rail profiles, sleeper types, rail fastenings, obstacles, and other elements – the basis for very specific and highly customized tasks.

Working just like in real life

With the UnimatSimulator, particular emphasis was placed on faithfully reproducing the user interface. Displays, controls, and work processes are exactly the same as on the real machine. Mistakes are allowed to happen here – without consequences for safety or infrastructure.

In addition to mobile tamping simulators for plain-line and turnout tamping, we also offer simulator systems for ballast profiling machines, ballast cleaning machines, and catenary installation and maintenance machines.
