Lathe

Includes a full set of lathe operations. Designed for lathes and turning centers.

WireEDM

Includes operations for 2-axis, 2-axis with taper, and full 4-axis Wire EDM cutting. Designed especially for Wire EDM machines.

Turn

Turning operations. Available for all configurations starting from 2.5x Mill.

Configurations and machine match table:

Multichannel machining is a separate option and is not included in “Turn” by default.

3+2 (5-axis indexing) machining

This option enables LCS usage and comprehensive approach and retract, as well as links handling for multi-axis machines.

This option is included and turned off in all milling configurations starting from 2.5x Mill by default. Users can turn it on as needed.

Adaptive

ENCY’s module for high-speed milling.

Multichannel

This option enables multichannel machining with user defined synchronization points. Robots are supported. Good for dual-channel. Harder to use for 3+ channel machining.

G-code based

This option adds support for G-code-based operations: “G-code based milling”, “G-code based lathe”.

These operations allow you to perform:

• direct control of the machine simulation using G-codes;

• check and optimize the NC program;

• convert the NC text from one controller to another (for machines with identical kinematic scheme);

• debug your own interpreter during its creation.

Wire EDM machining is not supported.

Disk tool

This group of operations is designed for sawing and machining materials such as wood, stone and similar with a disk tool.

Full reference

Knife cutting

Special operations for knife cutting 2D and 6D.

Teamcenter integration

This integration module is designed to obtain the required in creating NC code data for CNC machines from PLM system to Teamcenter and for transferring the NC code, a list of processing operations, and a tool statement to the PLM system after toolpath calculation.

Full reference

Robot+

Allows adding features that make it possible to control 6-axis (articulated) robots when you have only configuration of ENCY for usual machines (milling etc.).

Full reference

Welding
