Weldon has designed a portfolio of grinding machines that meet the needs of various industries. The company found that its offerings enable its customers to find a machine that fits their needs – rather than buying something too big or too small. The company’s offerings are further customizable through bed extensions and automation.
This year, the company showcases its G300 OD grinder. This new offering, developed in cooperation with Tsugami, is another example of how the company saw a need for a mid-sized grinder on the market. Weldon’s customized, imported machine features an 8.4” FANUC Series 0i-TD control with a battery backup absolute feedback system. The 300-mm swing and 500-mm distance between centers (upgradeable to 1000 mm) can drive a 330-lb workpiece with its 10-hp wheelhead.
The company has live demonstrations of its automation capabilities with various arms and loading devices.
