CoroPlus® ProcessControl Monitor machining processes and automate actions Without proper machining monitoring in the workshop, unwanted deviations can cause damage to your cutting tools, your machine tool or your workpiece. The CoroPlus® ProcessControl monitoring system gives you better control of your processes. Lower production cost Reduced downtime Consistent component quality Less scra

Automatically detecting and correcting deviations Machining generates physical characteristics that are detected by sensors or by reading the current machine drive values. Algorithms are applied to the signals coming from the different sources, deviations from the expected process are detected and corrective actions are applied. Digitised knowledge of machining and advanced hardware and software means that everything happens in just a few milliseconds. Expected first cut spindle load increase. Expected signal spike. Unexpected signal change detected. Machine stops.

Collision detection Process security Machine tool security Consider collision detection when: Collisions risk damaging costly components or machine tools Machine requires frequent setups Manual clamping changes Running untested NC programs Collision detection will monitor the machining force or vibration and instantly stop machining in case of an over

Tool breakage detection Consistent component quality Process security Reduced downtime Protected investment Missing tool detection Consider tool breakage detection when: Tool breakage causes damage to the component or interrupts the manufacturing process Production is unmanned Producing large batches sizes Working with expensive components The tool life is unreliable Tool breakage detection measures the machining force, vibration, power, torque and drive data and reliably interpret deviations in the signal as tool breakage. A tool breakage event can trigger a range of actions, for example...

Tool wear detection Lower total tool cost Consistent component quality Consider tool wear detection when: Producing large batches Tool wear detection analyses the sensor input data over time and detects wear on a cutting tool. This allows various actions to be programmed, for example stopping the machine or changing a

Contact detection Increased automation of the machining process Consider contact detection when: Air-cut times are significant Changing stock levels (greater material dimensions) Contact detection analyses the sensor signals to determine whether or not the tool is in contact with the workpiece. The signal is transferred to the machine, which can be programmed to perform multiple different actions, for example adjusting the fe

Technical consultancy Defining the optimal process control solution requires a systematic analysis of your needs. Our offer therefore starts with a discussion with a Sandvik Coromant engineer, enabling us to tailor a solution that will meet your specific requirements. Our offer includes a mix of different hardware and software: • Monitoring devices to be mounted in the machine tool’s electricity cabinet, close to the PLC • Industrial sensors optimised for specific tasks, to be installed close to the machining area • Software for installation on the NC and the machine's HMI • Some...
