Overview
NCdoc is a tool that creates instruction sheets dedicated to CNC operators and is integrated in NCSIMUL Machine. CNC operators and workshop stakeholders can access all the instruction sheets in real time synchronization with the current machining cycle through NCSIMUL Player Synchro.

Automatic Technical Data

• Quickly generate and edit the technical sheets needed by CNC operators.
• Ensure a reliable manufacturing process without misinterpretation.
• Benefit from 3D technologies used by CAM programmers: machining simulation that integrates tool parameters, G-code and its virtual machine environment.

Tool sheets

• Identifier
• List of components
• List of settings
• 3D tool visuals

Process sheets

• Clamp assembly
• Spindle speed, feed rate and tool compensation data

Instruction sheets

• Customisation based on user needs
• Description of actions (machine stops)
• Machining history
• Operation check list

Control sheets

• Measurement type
• Localization
• Nominal values
• Associated tolerance

The NCdoc difference

• Edit and publish your technical data sheets in one click (self-checks, tools, etc.).
• Use standard documents to enhance communication between services.
• Access all technical data sheets linked to your current NC program in real time.
• With clear, up-to-date instructions, reduce the risk of errors during machining (accurate dimensional information).
• Smart wizard for data sheet editing: automated input, automatic collection of machining simulation data (3D, cycle time, cutting conditions, etc.).
• Life cycle management for technical data sheets (version, release, change history, etc.).
• Predefined, customizable document library in corporate format.
• Real-time synchronization of technical data sheets via NCSIMUL Player.
• Access from your touch tablet or PC.

Integration & Workflow
Integrated inside NCSIMUL Machine and designed to be part of the NC documentation and shop-floor workflow. Provides one-click publishing and supports a corporate publication process when used with NCSIMUL Publisher.
