Q-REG provides not only the control of electrodes based on a dedicated HiPAC high-performance process controller, but also fast data acquisition and processing to analyse process parameters in real time, such as arc stability, arc coverage and radiation index per electrode.

Advanced diagnostic tools

Furthermore, the Q-REG features advanced diagnostic tools enabling a deeper insight into every heat and on the behaviour of main process parameters, including visualisation of circular diagrams and variable trends, and the “Fast Fourier Transform” frequency analyser.

Part of the package chosen by Gerdau, the local assistance and maintenance services from Danieli do Brasil specialists.
