A feature-rich grinding package that can be adapted to most grinding machines, powered by FANUC CNC controls.
HMI Software Designed for CNC Grinders
Open Vision™ Grind was developed to provide the best of both worlds - the features and performance grinding manufacturers demand, with the reliability and acceptability of FANUC CNC control systems. 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:
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
