Harland Simon has been selected to supply a second phase controls upgrade to the Goss Uniliner press at Butler Eagle, PA.

Screens will be replaced with additional Prima PressNet control screens (see picture), which means that all press control functions can be accessed via Harland Simon touch screens. The ControlLogix processors in the press control rack will also be upgraded along with the central maintenance and diagnostic capabilities via RS Logix 500 software (by Allen Bradley) to enable quick fault finding and maximise up-time. This upgrade brings Butler Eagle’s control systems up to the latest standards.
