What is a CNC Wheel Processing Machine?

They are computer-controlled special machines produced for the renewal, polishing process, maintenance, and repair of alloy wheels. They are also known as CNC lathes and CNC wheel machines.

CNC wheel lathes are commonly used for the repair and renewal of alloy wheels. It is not possible to achieve the surface forms of the wheel on universal lathes. Determining the surface forms and applying this surface to the wheel on CNC universal lathes requires a very separate process. Instead, the touch probe used in CNC wheel lathes extracts the form of the wheel surface with a very precise measurement and transfers it to the screen. The measured form is automatically subjected to a smoothing process by the software, and the form is corrected. This corrected form provides a smooth surface and shine by removing chips from the surface as needed using a diamond tip. During the wheel polishing process, the wheel rotation is between 400-700 revolutions per minute. The probe reading time averages between 1-4 minutes, depending on the size of the wheel and the reading sensitivity. The chip removal time is around 2 to 4 minutes.

Tornado CNC Wheel Processing Machines do not require special knowledge to use, as they have a visual interface and equipment that ensures operator safety. The control panel guides you step by step from the reading process to the chip removal process in a way that prevents errors. Chips can be removed from the surface in the desired amount as needed. Additionally, the processed alloy wheels are recorded for later reuse with a plate, customer name, processing date, and a wheel image added via an adapted camera to the machine.

Tornado Series CNC Wheel Lathes allow you to achieve a high-quality surface by continuously increasing the wheel rotation speed while performing the chip removal process towards the center according to the wheel diameter.

Recently, especially in large cities like Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, it is much easier to access these services.

On the other hand, companies located in the Bursa, Antalya, and Konya regions are making investments in CNC rim repair and polishing.
