This display is used as the main human-machine interface (HMI) on FANUC-equipped CNC machines (e.g., Series 0i, 16i/18i/21i controls) where a 12.1″ screen with soft keys provides a balanced mix of display size and input capability without the added complexity of a touchscreen. Operators view machine information, navigate menus, and interact with the system through soft keys and external controls.
