Through the history of Sandvik Coromant, there is a tradition to learn from the experiences. This has been the case since the company was founded in 1862. The company was the first in the world to succeed in using the Bessemer method for industrial scale steel production in order to meet growing demands.

Continuing the tradition of being the first to acquire latest technology, Sandvik Coromant has come up with a solution for the Industry 4.0 at IMTEX 2017. In the rapidly changing digitalized society, the manufacturing industry has an opportunity to seize untapped opportunities to minimize time, resource and data waste so as to become more profitable.

The CoroPlus platform from Sandvik Coromant gives you access to connected solutions that increase security and save time in design and planning. Connected tools and Internet of Things (IoT) devices enable you to monitor your machining performance and make well-informed decisions on how to optimize your machining process. Cloud-based analytics and on-site systems allow you to make use of all the collected data in your machining operations.

The Coroplus technology includes:

Remote tool set-up with CoroBore Plus

It remotely adjusts the cutting diameter on your fine boring tool for quick and easy set-ups. The tool’s embedded system allows for wireless, automatic adjustments of cutting diameter using digital interfaces, making it easy to accurately adjust the tool in the machine or in pre-setting for precision boring.

In-cut monitoring with Silent Tools Plus

Connected damped adaptors increase process control and security in internal turning with long overhang. The connected dashboard expands opportunities for in-cut monitoring, process learning and optimization. This sensorized solution gives you access to direct information about what’s happening inside your machine and component, making preemptive actions and process improvements easier.

CoroPlus ToolGuide in your CAM

Get the speeds and feeds for your tool assembly at the click of a button, without ever leaving your CAM software. This powerful solution uses an open Application Programming Interface (API) to connect to your CAM software.
