Harland Simon Upgrades Aberdeen Journals Reelstand Controls

Posted
By: E&P Staff Harland Simon, in Milton Keynes, England, and Oak Brook, Ill., received an order from Scotland's Aberdeen Journals Ltd. for a control system upgrade to its seven Goss CT45 and two Goss CT50 reelstands, which have original components.

The comprehensive upgrade will replace the control electronics with an industry-standard PLC and replace the belt drive with a thyristor-controlled regulator. A new interface on the reelstands will provide additional monitoring and calibration facilities. Benefits include lower splice and core waste and improved diagnostics, according to Harland Simon.
