Introducing VARmetricTM 2.0

For the first time, an integrated measurement system to observe real time arc dynamics in vacuum arc remelting (VAR) and electro-slag remelting (ESR) furnaces.

Powered by our patented, award-winning Arc Position Sensing (APS) technology, VARmetric^TM empowers you to…

Improve Safety

VARmetric™ HD detects safety critical events, such as side-arcs, to protect facilities and personnel.

Increase Yield

Improve the arc distribution with VARmetric™ to achieve superior ingot production, saving millions of dollars. For example, ingot sidewall yield is linked to the arc distribution.

Improve Quality

Allow operators to identify and avoid operating conditions that lead to defects in ingots.

Save Energy

Achieve energy savings by optimizing melt efficiency.
