The AWR28HPC is a CNC lathe specifically developed for alloy wheel end-face repair. It probes the wheel surface, automatically generates the machining program and uses a diamond cutter to reface alloy wheel rims with minimal programming required from the operator.
Max swing over bed is Φ770 mm (30"), max wheel diameter Φ710 mm (28"), and it accepts wheels on a 13" three-jaw chuck. These dimensions cover the majority of passenger alloy wheels; for very large or unusual wheels consult the supplier.
A probe scans the wheel's end-face curve; the machine software interprets that data and automatically generates the machining program. You can set start and end detection points with one key, so operators do not need to write CNC code manually.
Yes. Deep-dish and difficult profiles can be handled by fitting a longer probe and a longer cutter. Detection parameters are adjustable to accommodate different geometries and depths.
By adjusting the detection and machining parameters the machine can produce different visual effects, including standard diamond-cut finishes and the so-called 'rainbow line' decorative finish.
Yes. The AWR28HPC can save generated programs for wheel models, so identical wheels do not need to be probed again, reducing cycle time and improving throughput.
Key specs: X stroke 390 mm, Z stroke 880 mm, rail width 300 mm, rail length 1320 mm, spindle speed range 50–2000 RPM (automatic control), spindle bore Φ60 mm, spindle taper 1:20(Φ90), spindle nose A2-10, adjustable carrier stroke in X 100 mm, max tool post size 25×25 mm, 4-position tool carrier, min. setting unit 0.001 mm, carriage speeds Z 8 m/min and X 6 m/min, motor power 7.5 kW, machine weight 2200 kg.
Yes. The supplier provides detailed training videos and a manual with the machine to enable self-learning. Additional on-site or remote training/support may be available—check with the vendor.
The machine is designed to work with diamond cutters for alloy wheel refinishing. Confirm with the supplier which cutters and consumables are included in the standard package and ask about recommended spare/optional tooling.
Motor power is 7.5 kW. Exact electrical supply (voltage, phase, breaker sizing) and site requirements depend on local standards—confirm details with the supplier or installer. Machine footprint (L/W/H) is 2200 × 1620 × 1870 mm; package size 2300 × 1720 × 2170 mm; gross weight 2200 kg.
Regular maintenance includes keeping slides and rails clean and lubricated, checking and replacing cutting inserts as needed, calibrating the probe periodically, inspecting clamping hardware, and following the supplier's maintenance schedule and checklist.
The AWR28HPC is designed primarily for aluminum alloy wheels (typical passenger alloy rims). For non-standard materials or specialty coatings, consult the supplier before machining.
Cycle time depends on the extent of damage, wheel model and finish required. Simple scuffs or small end-face repairs can take only a few minutes; more extensive restorations may take longer. Saving programs for repeat models reduces time significantly.
Operators should be trained on the machine and follow the supplied manual. Typical safety measures include proper wheel clamping, use of guards and shields, emergency stop controls, and wearing appropriate PPE. Confirm site-specific safety requirements with the supplier.
Warranty terms, spare parts availability and service plans vary by supplier and region. Contact the machine vendor or authorized distributor for specific warranty coverage, lead times for spare parts, and options for preventive maintenance contracts or field service.
