ENCY 2.7 is available and includes 120 updates covering workflow changes and bug fixes. The release adds a Power parameter for Non-planar slicing, support for additional robot families, and updates related to technical support reporting.
Feed and power control for cladding operations
ENCY 2.7 adds a Power parameter for Non-planar slicing. Power is supported in two operations: Cladding 5D and Non-planar slicing.
Users can scale power as a percentage of the nominal value when cladding in corners. Along with Feed, this allows adjustment of deposition settings by changing Power and Feed.
Usability updates
Technical support message window: The support message window was updated. Users can capture a screenshot from the application interface, which is automatically attached to the files sent to technical support.
Robots: ENCY 2.7 adds support for these robot families:
- Tecman, JHY, EVS, HANS, HSR, Fairino
The robot library was updated for:
- Omron, ABB, AUBO, Borunto, Dobot, Estun, Effort, Epson, uFactory
Check fixtures: For 2D Contouring and Hole machining, users can disable collision checking with fixtures, including cases where drilling through a part and substrate is intended.
Other workflow updates include:
- Up/Down arrow-key navigation through CL-data rows while the Machine control panel is open
- Updated hints for Cladding 5D and Non-planar slicing
- Updated milling operation illustrations in the New Operation window
Stability, simulation and quality fixes
ENCY 2.7 includes fixes across projects, simulation, UI, CAD import, and automation. Examples include:
- Non-planar slicing: fixes related to the starting tool point parameter
- Swarf operation: fixes for extend/trim passes for closed contours and two-curve calculation
- Simulation: fixes for saving simulation results to .stl, performance changes, and fixes for cases where simulation speed caused false collision detection
- Projects: fixes related to restoring the last saved project after a crash and saving to cloud services (including Microsoft OneDrive)
- Machine/axis behavior: fixes for 4th-axis errors in Rotary operations, workpiece position detection for mill-turn machines, and workpiece coordinate rotation for Swiss-type lathes
- CAD/import: fixes for CAD module errors affecting project opening and STEP import when external borders are invalid
- Editors/UI: fixes for hotkey conflicts, dialogs appearing behind the main window, and display issues (including the AI Assistant window and nonstandard monitor scales)
- Fixes for freezes when repeatedly switching in the Addin Manager
- Fixes in MachineMaker and ENCY Tuner, and visual fixes in FBM settings and Wire EDM machining
- Installation/licensing: fixes for installer issues, antivirus conflicts during installation and license switching
How to get the update
For users with an active software maintenance contract (SMC), ENCY 2.7 is available through standard update channels (system updater, dealer, or technical support).
