Angular grinding machine ALTAIRA

cylindricalCNCdigital

The Weldon Altaira CNC cylindrical grinder is designed to satisfy processing of large, work parts up to 1 meter (40”) in length. Rotary and linear axes are sealed from airborne contaminates providing unmatched longevity in carbide and ceramic grinding applications. Available with either a straight or angular wheel head (factory set) the Altaira can grind outside diameters, shoulders, and faces in a single set-up. The CNC control can address complex form grinding (tapers, radii, etc.) via form dressed wheels or profiling. Properly equipped, an Altaira is ideally suited for high speed Peel grinding with CBN abrasives. Additionally, a programmable ”C” axis package can be provided to accommodate non-round grinding applications. - FANUC model 32i B CNC control with color LCD, and servo drives featuring FANUC AC digital technology. - Battery backup absolute feedback system eliminating the need to reference at each start-up. - Shear Damper design machine base providing stiffness, vibration control, and thermal stability through the use of steel shear tubes covered with a viscous material and encapsulated with a special replicating resin. - Cross-roller linear way system with recirculating bearings and precision ground rails. Includes integral way bearing seals and an external wiper system. - Compound linear slide design to keep floor space requirements to a minimum. - Z axis linear motor, FANUC. X axis precision ballscrew assembly or FANUC linear motor, determined by application. - Heavy-duty live spindle workhead with 6” A2 spindle nose and #5 MT center. Features a 4.7” spindle diameter and a quad set of angular contact bearings.
