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![OVG-LT-0i-Plus](https://www.cnc1.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blog-images/OVG-LT-0i-Plus.png?width=345&height=401&name=OVG-LT-0i-Plus.png)** - 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.   **Interested in upgrading your grinder?** Contact us today to learn how **OVG LT** and **FANUC 0i-F Plus controls** can streamline your machine and eliminate PC headaches.
