Controlling who can access and modify information is a critical component in any information management system. NC-Base achieves this by using a highly flexible user/group permission system that allows the administrator to specify who is allowed to view, modify, approve files etc.

Effective storage requires an organized framework for managing and accessing vital production information. Using industry standard relational SQL databases like Microsoft SQL and MySQL, CIMCO NC-Base provides a fast, flexible, and reliable system for all your production information.
User Access

NC-Base is fully integrated with the DNC-Max 5, CIMCO’s flagship CNC networking solution, allowing operators to request and retrieve CNC programs or save “as-run” CNC programs directly from the CNC control or NC-Base client.  Ethernet (Networked) Control Support includes support for auto-import of programs into NC-Base when saved off from networked (TCP/IP, etc.) CNC controls.  CIMCO NC-Base integrates seamlessly with most CAD/CAM applications. Using the auto import function programs generated in the programming department are automatically imported into the database. Existing ERP/PDM systems can extract data directly from the SQL database. Program information can also be exported to text files, MS Excel spreadsheets, etc.

NC-Base features a comprehensive, yet easy to use, version control system that automatically tracks any changes made, not only to the CNC programs, but also to associated production documentation. Every version of a file is stored in the system, along with information about when the change was made, who made it and why it was made. The operator can at any time create a new version or restore an older version. Using the integrated compare function, different version can be quickly compared side by side.

EVALUATING CIMCO NC-BASE
 
If you are interested in evaluating NC-Base click on the evaluation download link on the right. NC-Base is installed with the same installation routine for DNC-Max (as 95% of our European customers utilize both). If you do not wish to install DNC-Max simply uncheck the box for DNC-Max Server and DNC-Max Client when prompted in the installation wizard and check CIMCO Edit (required for the NC-Base Client) and NC-Base.
