ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Jubail
Project Overview
Hi-Tec modernized the CNC hardware and operator-interface platform for OCTG CNC-1 and CNC-2 at ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Jubail.
Challenge / Project Requirement
The project targeted older SINUMERIK 840D sl hardware, specifically an NCU 710.2 controller, and the need to modernize the operator-interface computing environment.
Solution and Technical Scope
The upgrade specified a Siemens SINUMERIK NCU 710.3B PN, SIMATIC IPC427E industrial PC and TCU 30.3 thin-client unit, with updated firmware and Windows 10 as documented in the project reference.
Project Outcome
The reference describes improved processing capability, resolution of hardware obsolescence and a modernized operating-system environment as the aims of the engineering modification. No measured machine-performance results were supplied.
