Founded in 1965, Flexball Italiana is a globally recognized manufacturer of mechanical and mechatronic control systems.

The company was born from an innovation — the patented flexball cable, a unique push-pull cable that runs on ball bearings. This invention laid the foundation for Flexball’s global growth, with manufacturing and service locations now spanning Italy, Germany, Mexico, China, and India.

Over the last 15 years, Flexball Italiana has expanded its product offering to include mechatronic and electronic control systems, serving diverse industries with highly reliable, customizable motion solutions. In line with this evolution, the company modernized its production floor with advanced 4-axis CNC milling machines and turning centers – and chose ENCY CAM software to drive their CNC programming.

“We chose ENCY because the CNC machine manufacturer recommended it – and it turned out to be a very good choice. It’s extremely easy and practical to use,”
— Massimo Dainese, Technical Manager, Flexball Italiana

A Quick and Efficient Transition

Before switching to ENCY, Flexball engineers used Tebis. The transition was smooth – the team had fully adopted ENCY for both milling and turning operations. According to Dainese, the simplicity and practicality of ENCY made the learning curve minimal.

“My colleagues switched from Tebis to ENCY with excellent results. It was very easy for us to learn and implement.”

One of the key advantages was the ability to use a single post processor across all machines, reducing complexity and increasing flexibility on the shop floor.

Supported by Sintesi

Flexball’s successful CAM integration was supported by Sintesi, ENCY’s local reseller in Italy. Their team provided expert guidance and fast support, reinforcing Flexball’s confidence in the decision.

“The Sintesi team is a great partner. Thanks to them and ENCY, we now have a very reliable, easy-to-use system.”

Final Words

With ENCY, Flexball Italiana has modernized its CNC programming workflow while maintaining the flexibility and precision their products are known for.

“ENCY is a very good solution that I definitely recommend to other companies,” — Massimo Dainese, Technical Manager, Flexball Italiana.
