One Robot, Two Tools: Hot Wire Cutting and Milling in a Single ENCY Robot Project
Watch the recording of the ENCY Robot webinar: one robot with a hot wire bow and a milling spindle in a single project, from cell setup to simulation. Download the project.
This webinar took place on October 15, 2026. Watch the recording below.
Many robot cells are built around one tool. But a single robot can do more: cut a rough shape with a hot wire, then finish the details with a milling spindle, without changing the end effector.
In this webinar, Gerry Grainger, Lead Learning Developer at ENCY, showed how to set this up in ENCY Robot: a complete project where one robot uses a hybrid end effector, with a hot wire bow and a milling spindle mounted together, from cell setup to simulation.
In this recording:
- Setting up a hybrid end effector: hot wire bow and milling spindle
- Defining both tools in one robot cell
- Hot wire roughing toolpaths
- Milling toolpaths for the finishing pass
- Simulation and verification
- Live Q&A
