Getting started

With CoroPlus® Tool Library, you can assemble virtual tools in a fast and secure manner and export data quickly for CAM programming and simulation.

Working with CoroPlus® Tool Library

The Home screen of the CoroPlus® Tool Library is the initial point for accessing all application features.
 

Create a new tool assembly

You can start building your assembly from different parts within CoroPlus® Tool Library.

1. By tool type
   Build a tool assembly by browsing and searching for items. Start by selecting the tool type you want to create. This option is best when you know what type of tool you want to create. When the assembly is saved, you can add cutting data to it.
2. By application
   Build or find a tool assembly by specifying material, machine, and task parameters. This option is best when you want to get a recommendation on what tool to use. When the assembly is completed and saved, cutting data for the specified task is automatically added to it.
3. Recent assemblies
   This section allows you to both view and copy recently built assemblies. By clicking on My assemblies, you can access a comprehensive list of all your assemblies.

Explore more capabilities

In the upper area of the user interface (black bar), you will find further capabilities for using CoroPlus® Tool Library.

1. My assemblies
   All saved assemblies can be conveniently accessed under My assemblies.
2. Custom Items

ISO 13399 

All tools in the CoroPlus® Tool Library areas are described based on ISO 13399.
ISO 13399's official title is „Cutting tool data representation and exchange. " It is an international standard for the computer-interpretable representation and exchange of industrial product data. In particular, ISO 13399 describes items and tool assemblies consistently and in detail.

Parametric graphic for tool class

In principle, tools with a similar design are assigned to a specific tool class (GTC class). Parameter graphics primarily serve to reflect this graphically. Therefore, there is a parameter graphic for each tool class. Its most important contents are:

1. The representation of the basic geometric shape.
2. The visualization or definition of the most important parameters.
3. The position of the zero point.
