Danobat Machine SINUMERIK ONE Upgrade (Two Machines)
Vallourec Saudi Arabia
Project Overview
Hi-Tec's project reference records a SINUMERIK ONE upgrade for two Danobat machines at Vallourec Saudi Arabia.
Challenge / Project Requirement
The legacy SINUMERIK 840D Powerline and SIMODRIVE 611D/611U platforms were described in the reference as entering phase-out, with spare-parts and technical-support availability becoming a concern.
Solution and Technical Scope
The documented configuration includes Siemens SINUMERIK ONE NCU 1740, an S7-1500F PLC, five-axis and one-spindle licensing, a two-channel license, Windows 10, SINUMERIK Operate, a 22-inch SIMATIC ITC2200 V3 multitouch panel and a SINUMERIK ONE MCP 2200 mini handheld unit. The control enclosure is described as an IP54-rated panel housing servo axes X1, X2, Z1, Z2 and W, spindle drive and auxiliary motor controls, with wired and labelled power and I/O circuits.
Project Outcome
The upgrade replaces a legacy CNC platform with SINUMERIK ONE on two machines, with the stated goals of improving the control platform, simplifying maintenance workflows and supporting longer-term parts availability. Site-specific production improvements were not quantified in the source.
