Open Vision™ Grind uses the same interface, regardless of the grinding machine configuration, so operators can easily move between grinders. The software simplifies the grinding process for CNC grinding machines like: - Universal Grinders - ID / OD Grinders - Vertical Grinders - Surface Grinders - Race Grinders - Bore Grinders - Roll Grinders - Step Grinders - Thread Grinders - Creep Feed Grinders [![brochure\_spec\_icon](https://www.cnc1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/cnc-brand-assets/Icons/brochure_spec_icon.png?width=25&height=25&name=brochure_spec_icon.png "brochure_spec_icon")](https://www.cnc1.com/hubfs/product-solutions-assets/Open-Vision-Grind/Open%20Vision%20Grind%20-%20Product%20Overview.pdf?hsLang=en) ##### [Download the Open Vision™ Grind Product Overview](https://www.cnc1.com/hubfs/product-solutions-assets/Open-Vision-Grind/Open%20Vision%20Grind%20-%20Product%20Overview.pdf) ![Open\_Vision\_Grind\_Pendant](https://www.cnc1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Open_Vision_Grind_Pendant.jpg?width=780&height=792&name=Open_Vision_Grind_Pendant.jpg "Open_Vision_Grind_Pendant") ### Open Vision™ Grind Programmer The built-in conversational programmer provides a quick and easy solution for developing complex grinding programs. Editing tools allow users to create new programs from scratch or copy existing programs and edit inputs to easily build a large database of part specific programs and greatly reduce changeover times. Open Vision™ Grind Programmer can be accessed via the HMI PC and/or a desktop PC. The conversational programmer can be configured for: - ID and OD Programming in one setup - Plunge, Oscillation, Vector, and Contour Grind - Mulitple Axes - Multiple Wheelheads, Turrets, and Wheel Changers - Complex Dress and Grind Contours - AE or Wheel Load Gap Elimination - Dual Path Grinding - Multiple Dress Configurations and Tools - InProcess Gage – Discrete or Analog Interface ![Grind\_information\_database-max](https://www.cnc1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CNC_Engineering_December2018%20Theme/Images/Grind_information_database-max.jpg?width=780&height=529&name=Grind_information_database-max.jpg "Grind_information_database-max") ![Campbell\_Grinder\_2](https://www.cnc1.com/hubfs/CNC_Engineering_December2018%20Theme/Images/Campbell_Grinder_2.jpg) #### Features for Vertical Grinders \- Programmable Library of Wheel Types and Quills \- Programmable Wheel Direction \- Wheel Changer \- Multiple Wheelheads on B-axis \- Calculated X & Z Grind Positions Based on B-axis Angle \- Dress Based on Wheel Load \- Dress From the Rear \- E-axis Editor \- Peel Grind \- Dual Path Programming ![Elb\_Surface\_10163](https://www.cnc1.com/hubfs/CNC_Engineering_December2018%20Theme/Images/Elb_Surface_10163.jpg) #### Features for Surface Grinders \- Oscillation, Plunge, Vector, and Surface Grind Types \- Separate Cross Feed Data for Coarse, Rough, Finish \- C-axis Indexing for Slot Grinding \- Dynamic Dress for Creep Feeding \- CNC Sine Bar \- Y / X Contour Grind ![Bryant\_LF2\_11395-11398](https://www.cnc1.com/hubfs/CNC_Engineering_December2018%20Theme/Images/Bryant_LF2_11395-11398.jpg) #### Features for Race Grinders \- E-axis Sweep and Plunge Roll Dressing \- Spherical Editor for Two Axes Dresser \- Crown Dress Editor \- Gap Elimination \- InProcess Gage – Discrete or Analog Interface \- E-axis Race Editor for Snap Angles, Race Angles, Double Straight, Gothic Arch ![Bryant\_UL2\_11396-11397](https://www.cnc1.com/hubfs/CNC_Engineering_December2018%20Theme/Images/Bryant_UL2_11396-11397.jpg) #### Features for Bore Grinders \- High Speed Oscillation \- Gap Elimination \- InProcess Gage – Discrete or Analog Interface \- Post Process Gage Interface \- Constant Power Infeed \- Skip Dress \- CBN Adaptive Dress \- CBN Wheel Conditioning ![Waldrich\_Siegen\_Roll\_Grinder\_13427](https://www.cnc1.com/hubfs/CNC_Engineering_December2018%20Theme/Images/Waldrich_Siegen_Roll_Grinder_13427.jpg) #### Features for Roll Grinders \- OVGrind’s Generic Sequence Editor for dubs & cutoffs \- In-Cycle override of wheel speed \- In-Cycle override of work speed \- Manual Handle Interrupt allowing the operator to override feed increment \- Continuous Traverse to semi-automatically discontinue feed increment \- Custom Roll Crown Editor for profiling Cosine Angle, Crown Width, Crown Height, Taper Adjustment, Plunge Groove, Spiral Groove ![Cincinnati\_Stepgrinders](https://www.cnc1.com/hubfs/cnc-brand-assets/CNC_Engineering_December2018%20Theme/Images/gallery/gallery-fanuc-retrofit-grinder/Cincinnati_Stepgrinders.jpg) #### Features for Step Grinders \- Probing \- Constant Wheel Surface Speed \- In-Process Gage \- Post Grind Measuring \- Data Entry Locks \- Remount Wheel (Uses Last Wheel Offset) \- Gap Elimination: Acoustic Emission or Wheel Load \- Inch / Metric Data Entry (on-diameter OR on-radius) ## Ready to Enhance Your CNC Grinder?
