protection, users have access only to
those portions of the software that their
level of qualification allows.
The modular design principle
means that the measuring machine can
be expanded to meet future require-
ments at any time. It is even possible
to retrofit an image processing sensor
and other optical sensors.

solutions aimed at helping manufac-
turers prepare for Industry 4.0. The
concept is designed specifically to
improve the control of productiv-
ity and costs through a combination
of connected machining and access
to manufacturing data and expert
knowledge.
CoroPlus is the umbrella name for
a new platform of connected tools and
software; essentially comprising tech-
nologies that can send and/or receive
data. The concept makes it possible
to reduce data waste and improve
manufacturing processes, from pre- to
post-machining, through the use of
connected technology and machining
knowledge from Sandvik Coromant.
Sandvik reports the principal ben-
efit for production managers is that
CoroPlus makes it possible to opti-
mize manufacturing through better
understanding and insight into what’s
happening in the workshops and ma-
chining environment, on either a micro
or macro level.
From a CAM programmer’s per-
spective, connection with accurate tool
and application data means that recom-
mendations can be adapted to specific
tasks. There are also advantages for
operators as machining processes can
be monitored remotely. Furthermore,
specific sensor-equipped tools can be
controlled to ensure that breakages are
avoided and performance is secured
with data intelligence collected live
throughout the machining process.
The offer currently comprises
dashboard solutions, software solu-
tions in CoroPlus Tool Guide and
Adveon™ Tool Library, as well as
Silent Tools™+ and CoroBore®+
cutting tools, and Promos 3+ machine
monitoring IoTsystem.
