Ency Ency Software’s CAD/CAM system is designed to allow users to set up and machine even the most complex, multi-operation parts without errors. It offers three-axis, 3+2 and full five-axis modes.
What's new? Numerous upgrades as part of Ency 2.0. Updates include the ability to support internal surface machining operations like rotary finishing, 6D contouring, and 5D surfacing; accelerated geometry selection; enhancements to improve additive manufacturing applications; an artificial intelligence (AI) feature that automatically generates complete machining processes and an advanced drilling feature that automatically reduces feed rate at hole intersections. Other new features include a new collision avoidance algorithm that offers faster, more stable path planning; and streamlined user access to tutorials, project libraries and collaborative workspaces. Also, robot setups, including configurations like robots on gantries, can now be defined automatically.
Benefits Ease of use; faster feed rates; reduced time to set up and create machining projects; improved control and tool life; and enhanced surface quality. According to its manufacturer, Ency 2.0 makes it easy for users — even novices — to program complex parts and processes, including robotic cells.
