NCdoc from SPRING Technologies automatically

generates and manages comprehensive machining documentation

The NCdoc add-in for NCSIMUL MACHINE simulation softwarecreates standard documents that reduce errors, aid communication

Boston, Mass., December 15, 2015

The NCdoc add-in component of NCSIMUL MACHINE simulation software from SPRING Technologies, Boston,

MA, enables users to automatically document all elements of a machining process and thereby reduce errors and

enhance communication within a manufacturing organization.

Using data from the final version of the CNC machining program

as verified by NCSIMUL MACHINE, NCdoc generates a full

machining report with data sheets for tooling and setup

characteristics, details of the machining process, operational

instructions and checklist information, and dimensional inspection

checks including nominal values and associated tolerances.

The real-time nature of the documentation enables users to

perform in-process checks. Clear presentation and easy access to accurate dimensional and operational

information minimizes the possibility of errors resulting from misinterpretation or outdated data. Through the

NCSIMUL Player Synchro feature, operators and other personnel can access instructional and other data sheets at

the machine in synchronization with the current machining cycle.

Users can edit documents in one click, and a smart wizard for data sheet editing features automated input, and

collection of machining simulation data including 3D representations and cycle times and cutting conditions.

Because machining processes are continually subject to updates, new releases and changes, NCdoc provides full

document life cycle management that eliminates confusion resulting from use of outdated reports and

documentation. Data is accessible through a PC or touch tablets, and technical data sheets are available in PDF

form or via the simulation software’s NCSIMUL Player feature.

NCdoc provides the basis for fulfilling quality program requirements as well as demands for traceability and

documentation from manufacturing customers in critical industries including medical, aerospace, and oil and gas.

Use of NCdoc saves hours otherwise spent in preparing and updating reports.
