SOLARIS

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Solaris Large Capacity OD Grinder by Weldon is a CNC cylindrical grinder designed for large, heavy work parts, particularly in carbide and ceramic grinding applications. It features sealed rotary and linear axes for longevity and can handle complex form grinding.

Applications: The Solaris is suitable for grinding outside diameters, shoulders, and faces in a single setup. It supports high-speed 'Peel' grinding with CBN abrasives and can be equipped with a programmable 'C' axis for non-round grinding applications. A sub-spindle option is available for sequential grinding.

Standard Features: The machine includes a Fanuc model 32i-BT CNC control, a shear damper machine base for stability, a cross-roller linear way system, and a heavy-duty live spindle workhead. It also features an automatic lubrication system and a variable speed wheel drive.

Optional Features: Options include a 24" swing capacity, in-process gage for size control, acoustic emissions sensor, programmable workhead, and various work holding solutions. Automation options include gantry systems and Fanuc 6 Axis robots.

Capacity: The machine supports a maximum work swing of 16", a distance between centers of 60", and a workpiece weight of 1000 lbs. Z-axis travel is 74" and X-axis travel is 13.5".

Technical Specifications: The workhead features precision angular contact bearings and a spindle speed of 0-900 RPM. The wheelhead motor is 25 hp, with a wheel speed of 8,500 SFPM. The grinding wheel has a maximum diameter of 20" and width of 4".

Construction and Dimensions: The machine is constructed with a welded steel shear damper and requires a 6" concrete floor foundation. It measures 151" in width, 188" in depth, and 91" in height, with a weight of 28,000 lbs.

CNC Control: The Fanuc 32i-BT control includes a manual pulse generator, contouring capabilities, built-in diagnostics, and supports both EIA and ISO coding.

FEATURES STANDARD: APPLICATIONS The Weldon Solaris CNC cylindrical grinder is designed for processing 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 wheelhead (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, ect.) via form dressed wheels or profiling. Properly equipped, a Solaris is ideally suited for high speed "Peel" grinding...
