APPLICATIONS The Weldon Midas series of CNC cylindrical grinders are designed to satisfy high production applications either between centers or in a chucking mode. These machines also provide the flexibility to grind a variety of part configurations with minimal set-up. Rotary and linear axes are sealed from airborne contaminates providing unmatched longevity in carbide and ceramic grinding applications. Available with either a straight, angular or turret style wheelhead, the Weldon Midas machines can grind outside diameters, shoulders, faces, tapers, and radii, sometimes in a single set-up....
