ENCY Software, Stäubli Robotics Sign Global Deal on Robot Programming
Cyprus-based ENCY Software and Swiss industrial robot maker Stäubli signed a global agreement to simplify offline programming, uniting ENCY Robot's CAD/CAM stack with Stäubli's TX2 arms and CS9 controller for milling, deburring and laser tasks.
Key Takeaways
ENCY Software and Stäubli Robotics signed a global partnership, announced July 7 at ENCY World Conference 2026, to simplify offline robot programming.
The deal pairs ENCY Robot's CAD/CAM offline programming, simulation and trajectory-generation stack with Stäubli's TX2 six-axis arms and CS9 controller for milling, grinding, deburring, polishing, cutting and laser processing.
ENCY Robot lets engineers catch collisions and singularities before code reaches the controller, and its Machine Maker app builds a digital twin of the workcell to validate trajectories against real gripper, fixture and enclosure geometry.
Stäubli's TX2 line spans payloads from 2 kg (TX2-40) to over 100 kg (TX2-200) with encapsulated design and SIL3/PL e safety for shop-floor use.
ENCY already supports ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Kawasaki, Universal Robots and Yaskawa arms and released ENCY 2.9 in early July, positioning it as a vendor-neutral CAD/CAM front end for industrial robots.

Limassol-based ENCY Software Ltd. and Switzerland's Stäubli Robotics have signed a global partnership to make robot programming faster and more predictable, the companies announced at the ENCY World Conference 2026 on July 7. The agreement pairs ENCY Robot – ENCY's CAD/CAM-based offline programming, simulation and trajectory-generation stack – with Stäubli's TX2 six-axis arms and CS9 controller for surface-finishing, milling, grinding, deburring, polishing, cutting and laser processing workflows.
From CAD trajectory to a robot that actually moves
Turning a CAM toolpath into reliable robot motion has long been a bottleneck for high-mix job shops. ENCY Robot lets engineers program robots offline, run process simulations, and catch collisions and singularities before pushing code to the controller. Machine Maker, the app used in the launch imagery, builds a digital twin of the workcell so trajectory edits can be validated against real gripper, fixture and enclosure geometry.
Stäubli commits its industrial arms and CS9 stack
Stäubli's TX2 line, which spans payloads from 2 kg on the TX2-40 to more than 100 kg on the TX2-200, brings the encapsulated design and SIL3/PL e safety needed for demanding shop-floor work. "Advanced robotics needs programming tools that are powerful, but also practical for real production," said Andrea Tagliabue, global leader of application experts for general industry at Stäubli Robotics, in the joint statement. Andrei Kharatsidi, CEO of ENCY Software, added that the pairing gives customers "a clear path from digital preparation to real robot motion" without adding another layer of complexity.
Fits a widening offline programming battle
The deal follows a wave of no-code and vision-first robot-programming plays covered here – from NVIDIA and Hugging Face bringing Isaac GR00T 1.7 into LeRobot to Inbolt's vision-enabled programming for FANUC and Yaskawa cells. ENCY's stack already supports arms from ABB Robotics, FANUC, KUKA, Kawasaki, Universal Robots and Yaskawa, and the company rolled out ENCY 2.9 in early July with expanded machining reporting and license administration. Tighter Stäubli integration positions ENCY as a neutral CAD/CAM front end to the industrial-robot fleet rather than a vendor-specific tool.

What did ENCY Software and Stäubli Robotics agree to?
They signed a global partnership to make robot programming faster and more predictable, integrating ENCY Robot's CAD/CAM-based offline programming, simulation and trajectory-generation software with Stäubli's TX2 six-axis arms and CS9 controller.
Which applications does the ENCY-Stäubli integration target?
Surface-finishing workflows including milling, grinding, deburring, polishing, cutting and laser processing.
How does ENCY Robot reduce programming risk?
It allows offline programming and process simulation that catch collisions and singularities before code is pushed to the controller, while its Machine Maker app creates a digital twin of the workcell to validate trajectory edits against real gripper, fixture and enclosure geometry.
Which other robot brands does ENCY's software support?
ENCY's stack already supports arms from ABB Robotics, FANUC, KUKA, Kawasaki, Universal Robots and Yaskawa, in addition to the new Stäubli integration.
