Harland Simon to Upgrade Second Memphis Press Line

Posted
By: E&P Staff The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, has selected Harland Simon to upgrade the drives of its second press line. Harland Simon replaced the Fincor DC drives of the daily's other press line two years ago with Siemens drives. Each Commercial Appeal press line has two folders, giving the paper a total of four presses.

Harland Simon will complete the conversion in the coming months, leaving the existing system in place until the new drives are fully operational. Each press line will be controlled by the latest "non-proprietary" PLC and an HMI for setting adjustment and diagnostic display. All new diagnostic routines will be incorporated into Harland Simon's existing maintenance systems and reports, according to the company.
