EXPLORE OUR PIPE CUTTING SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS
Our software solutions for machines and processes make the production workflow for our customers more efficient.
Our thermal cutting machines make 3D contours as part of an integrated process chain rather than an isolated element.

COROBS PLUS®
The plus to get more efficiency
in your production workflow
- IMPORTING FILES FROM ALMOST ALL STANDARD CAD/CAM SYSTEMS
- MODELING CUTTING GEOMETRIES
- OPTIMIZED NESTING TO AVOID SCRAP
- DISTRIBUTING CUTTING JOBS TO ONE OR SEVERAL MACHINES
- SHARP ESTIMATING WITH INTELLIGENT ANALYTICS
The COROBS PLUS® software and our machine based COROBS® software are the basis for the Müller Opladen machines.
With COROBS PLUS®, we link our machines to both upstream and downstream workflows, significantly reducing production time, material costs and errors.
COROBS PLUS® PROVIDES EXTENSIVE REPORTING FUNCTIONS
for calculation or documentation purposes
COROBS PLUS® provides comprehensive reporting for downstream costing and documentation purposes. This robust software system can be fully integrated into any company workflow as an autonomous software system for the modeling of pipes or by importing drawings from a multitude of CAD software systems.
Also, COROBS PLUS® offers rich data in SQL views that can be pulled into Excel and other tools for reporting, and into ERP systems or other databases. The package is typically run at both the machine and in an office(s). In offices: a CAD designer and/or detailers can import jobs, design parts, and plan work. At the machine, operators can input nested parts on pipes and other cut jobs.
IMPORTING
COROBS PLUS® is able to import all typical 3D models from mostly all 3D CAD Systems such as Inventor or Solidworks. It has a direct Importer for TEKLA and has the most import solutions for the piping industry (PCF and derivates).
MODELING
The COROBS PLUS® modeling module permits independent production of pipe cutting contours represented in 3D with dimension contours. To begin, a cutting contour such as a saddle cut is selected. Then, only a few parameters need to be entered into a pre-set mask to allow the cutting contour to develop automatically. Repetitive contours can simply be duplicated.
NESTING
Once all the parts have either been modeled or alternatively imported, with a single command, COROBS PLUS® automatically nests the parts on a pipe. This algorithm for such optimal nesting can save up to 10% in material cost. The pipe segments to be cut are then shown in 3D on the monitor. During the cutting process, both the machine operator and those using COROBS PLUS® in offices can remotely see the machines' cutting progress. COROBS PLUS® also integrates software that can automatically print unique labels for each part and report back to the resident/ERP database for a complete workflow process.
DISTRIBUTING
COROBS PLUS® distributes designed parts and cutting jobs to machines based on their capacities, such as pipe diameter or weight. Streamlined efficiency and accuracy for your manufacturing needs.
ESTIMATING
COROBS PLUS® runs on top of SQL databases. These databases expose a rich set of data views for use in ERP, process management, inventory control, and custom reporting. Our customers often integrate COROBS PLUS® data with their ERP system, and also with Microsoft Excel to create custom live reports for job costing, scheduling and tracking, inventory control, and post-job analyses. Thanks to the advanced grouping and filter functions, you get the perfect overview of the production.
COROBS®
Through selection of a wide range of cutting macros, this allows quick preparation at the workstation of the various cuts which are then directly performed on the pipe.
Further, COROBS® offers various options with regard to cutting parameters and other sequential parameters with a view to optimizing the individual steps in each case and also depending on the properties and quality of the pipe. These functions are also provided by COROBS® when COROBS PLUS® is being used since the two software systems are interconnected and adapted to each other.
