SPRING Technologies, vendor of software designed to maximize the productivity of CNC machine tools, has partnered with Machining Cloud GmbH. Through this new partnership, users of NCSIMUL Machine (CNC machining simulation) and NCSIMUL Tool (cutting tool management) will have direct access to cutting tool data and product knowledge (3D models, cutting conditions, tool parameters) from leading cutting tool manufacturers. "This partnership is a major step forward in our agenda to deliver the NCEXPERIENCE vision, and a key enabler strengthening the competitiveness of our customers, for both short and long term," said Philippe Solignac, Corporate Marketing Director, SPRING Technologies.
"Through the Machining Cloud, the manufacturer's descriptive, usage and geometric information and application knowledge is always up-to-date and readily available from any location or device," said Michael Taesch, Cloud Evangelist for the Machining Cloud GmbH. "By utilizing cloud technology and industry standards for data - including ISO 13399, GTC, STEP and MTConnect - SPRING and the Machining Cloud will provide a smooth flow of data from the cutting tool manufacturer to the customer's shop floor, as well as to CAM programmers."
Upon completion of the SPRING Machining Cloud Connection, the interface between the Cloud and SPRING's software, SPRING said its customers will realize four key benefits:
- Time savings when initially populating their NCSIMUL Tool database or screening the manufacturer's entire catalog for new tools not presently in inventory
- An enhanced machining process by having the last cutting tool data available for tooling operations and CNC machining simulation process within NCSIMUL Machine
- Direct access to the cutting tool manufacturers' latest recommendations on cutting speeds and conditions for a given cutting tool assembly in a given material
- Abilities to make better choices when searching for new cutting tools and when deciding how to best run them on their CNC machines.
The Machining Cloud apps run on Microsoft Windows 7 and 8 powered desktop computers, as well as Android tablets and iPads. According to the company, the Machining Cloud is a neutral platform open to all partners and suppliers, making it suitable for the needs of most shops.
