At CNC Engineering, innovation is always driven by the real-world needs of our customers. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a major advancement in grinding technology: Open Vision Grind Lite (OVG LT)—a powerful new HMI solution built on FANUC Picture and the latest FANUC 0i-F PLUS CNC platform.
A Modern HMI—No PC Required
For years, high-end grinding HMIs have depended on external PCs and custom software to manage things like dressing paths, grinding cycles, wheel definitions, and part geometries. While these systems offer flexibility, they come with drawbacks—namely added hardware costs, IT maintenance requirements, and potential downtime due to PC instability.
OVG LT changes that.
Running entirely on new FANUC 0i-F Plus controls and FANUC Picture, this streamlined solution eliminates the need for a PC altogether—offering:
- Native integration on the FANUC 15" iHMI front end
- Faster boot times and increased reliability
- No Windows OS, no third-party software layers
Powerful & Streamlined
Even without a PC, OVG LT is feature-rich:
- Define part profiles and wheel shapes
- Manage multi-wheel dressing paths
- Interact with G-code and CNC macros in real time
- Use touchscreen controls designed for operator efficiency
And because it's embedded directly within the FANUC control, everything runs faster and with greater reliability.
Ideal for Retrofitted & New Machines
Whether you’re retrofitting an older grinder or building a new system from the ground up, OVG LT provides a modern, stable, and cost-effective HMI solution. It delivers a clean interface and robust performance Open Vision Grind is known for—without the extra hardware burden.
A Smarter Approach to Grinding
At CNC Engineering, we’re not just integrating technology—we're simplifying it. OVG LT delivers the power of custom HMI functionality without the hassle of managing PC hardware. That’s the kind of progress grinding shops need today.
