Danieli equipment allows real-time quality control of 100% products in terms of the profile geometry avoiding sampling procedure. Measurement of the dimensions is highly precise and can be performed up to 50 times per second. Implementation of the technology allows to produce more running meters of rebars per t of products and guarantee compliance with the standard at the same time minimizing human resource and time consumption.

Dmitry Nikolayenko, acting Sales Director of Steel and Rolled Products Division of Metinvest Group noted that introduction of the new equipment is an exceptionally important step, because it allows weighing the running meter of rebars and producing negative tolerance rebars, if requested by the customers.

The ability to produce negative tolerance products meets the needs of our clients and demonstrates that we keep up with the time and provide the best quality products to our customers” — stated Mr. Nikolayenko.
