The Weldon Solaris CNC cylindrical grinder is designed to satisfy processing of large, heavy work parts. 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 Solaris 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, a Solaris 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.
A sub-spindle option is also available to present a second OD wheel or an internal grinding wheel for sequential grinding of various part features.
- FANUC model 32i B CNC control with color LCD, and servo drives featuring FANUC AC digital technology. Includes a 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.
