Seven plants of Gerdau in Brazil will benefit from the installation of the innovative Danieli Automation Q-REG electrode regulator system to their electric arc furnaces.
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 analyze process parameters in real time, such as arc stability, arc coverage and radiation index per electrode.
Furthermore, the Q-REG features advanced diagnostic tools enabling a deeper insight into every heat and on the behavior of main process parameters, including visualization of circular diagrams and variable trends, and the “Fast Fourier Transform” frequency analyzer.
