ENCY 1.1.3 — What’s New

• Sub Spindle Working (turn-mill): added a new “Move LCS with part” parameter. If unchecked, the part’s LCS (Local Coordinate System) remains in place.

• Turn Take Over (Swiss-type lathes): for compatibility with previously developed post-processors, when the Take Over is synchronized with the preceding Lathe Part-off operation you now need to enable “Start with RPM of cut-off” from that Lathe Part-off. By default this parameter is off to simplify debugging of new post-processors, allowing you to set a custom spindle speed for the Turn Take Over.

• Keep working through outages: You can temporarily continue working with online licenses even if the ENCY license server is unreachable due to an outage. ENCY will launch only from the last workstation used.
• Disc tool machining: Added support for an undercut tool.
• Hole-Drilling — Bore5: New “Bottom Dwell” parameter.
• API power-ups:
  – Added access to coordinate systems.
  – Added the ability to create a new operation.
• Robotics:
  – New Borunte BRTIRUS1820A robot in the MachineMaker online library.
  – Support for robots with 4th–6th axis coupling (e.g., Kawasaki KJ264).
• Refreshed smart hints for OD Adaptive Turning operation and the Programming the Robot’s 6th Axis parameters.
• Updated interpreters.
• Improved direct FreeCAD model import.

This update removes web-service calls for offline licenses and fixes license-server issues with multiple windows, along with stability problems such as interpreter-shutdown hangs, NC-based simulation/trajectory freezes, and crashes when saving projects with empty models.

Toolpath accuracy is improved across 5D Meshing, Swarf, Cladding 5D, Waterline roughing, Peck groving with Bottom Dwell, 3D Helical, Turn Take Over (CLData and extra counter-spindle moves), EDM with bridges, and cases using Collision Avoidance or over-limit 6th-axis maps.

It also corrects workflows for STEP import, Compare Machining result-to-Model, Sewing, Drawing mode, NextToolNum variable, save/copy in G-code based operation, Postprocessor Generator user parameters, LCS in Multiply Group, and cases where the robot’s zero positions got misaligned after movement operations.

Note: The 1.1.3 update is available to all users with an active annual support contract (SMC).
