Simlog Drill Jumbo Personal Simulator

Drill jumbo operation is one of the most technically demanding skills in underground mining and tunneling. The drill jumbo positions and operates multiple boom-mounted drills to create the blast holes that advance a tunnel face, requiring precise boom positioning in three-dimensional space in confined underground conditions, coordination of multiple drill units, and the geological awareness to drill efficiently and safely through varying rock conditions. Training operators for this role on real underground equipment is both logistically complex and genuinely dangerous for inexperienced trainees.

The Simlog Drill Jumbo Personal Simulator provides the safe simulation environment for developing foundational drill jumbo skills, covering boom positioning, drill operation, and tunnel face drilling patterns in a realistic underground environment that prepares trainees for the real machine without the risks of actual underground training.

Klein Educational supplies Simlog Personal Simulators to CTE programs, community colleges, workforce development centers, and mining and tunneling industry training operations across California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, and Alaska.

What is the Drill Jumbo Personal Simulator?

The Simlog Drill Jumbo Personal Simulator places trainees at the controls of a drill jumbo at work in realistic underground mine and tunnel environments. The simulation accurately models the drill jumbo's boom positioning system, drill rod operation, and the three-dimensional spatial awareness required for accurate blast hole pattern drilling on a tunnel face.

Structured training modules guide trainees from basic controls and boom manipulation through increasingly demanding drilling pattern scenarios that reflect actual tunnel development operations.

What trainees learn

Training covers drill jumbo controls and boom positioning, single and multi-boom coordination, tunnel face assessment and drill pattern setup, drill rod operation and collaring technique, drilling hole depth management, repositioning for complete pattern coverage, and safe operating practices for underground drill jumbo operation.
