Enfield, CT --- This year at IMTS, CNC Engineering, Inc. introduced a grinding package that is more than just a modified milling or turning machine control. Developed for the retrofit market, Open Vision HMI Grinding is a conversational grinding package designed specifically for Internal (ID), External (OD), and specialty grinding machines. The system combines the reliability of GE Fanuc controls utilizing the High Speed Serial Bus (HSSB) option with the flexibility of an industrial PC.

Now you can benefit from numerous enhancements over proprietary software supplied by many of the major grinder OEMs. Open Vision HMI Grinding offers ease of use through simplified intuitive menus, reduced number of keystrokes required to perform tasks, and Touch Screen Technology. The software has been designed with traditional grinding capabilities and added features such as wheel off-sets, constant surface speed, skip dress, grinding types such as plunge, oscillation, vector, and general control grinding, and more.

Today, the creation, editing, and viewing of programs has never been easier. With Open Vision HMI Grinding these tasks can be freely executed either on the grinder or through an optional off-line conversational programmer. The ability to program multi-surfaces and by part reference is also available. Be sure to learn more about how you can simplify the grinding process while increasing productivity by retrofitting your grinder with Open Vision GMI Grinding today.
