CNC Alloy Wheel Lathe: Felgerad FGR Series

In the automotive industry, the appearance of alloy wheels and their effect on the performance of cars are the main elements for the attractiveness of a vehicle. The need for these machines has arisen with the introduction of new model wheels. CNC wheel lathe for repairing and repainting new model bi-color BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, KIA, Volvo, Cupra, Seat wheels takes much less time and is much easier to repair compared to manual labor such as sanding. It is essential to achieve precision in rim re-polishing processes and CNC alloy wheel lathes are perfect for this process. It is the choice of professionals to save time and provide quality service to their customers.

CNC Technology in Wheel Lathes

CNC technology automates machine tools through computer programming, thus minimizing errors by the user or operator. It makes precise measurements with the Felgerad probe. You can even measure offset rims. Touch probe makes precise measurements by touching the rim surface. It records the surface to be cut into memory. If desired, you can correct the probe measurement coordinates from the correction screen.

With the measurement correction software, you can correct the damaged, scratched parts on the surface of the measured rim, extend the start and end points or give a radius. The 24” CNC Alloy Wheel Lathe leaves a shiny result on the surface of the rim with its precise cutting. Felgerad FGR-24 produces a much more precise and flawless result compared to Mobile Alloy Wheel Lathes. Because the non-rigid structure in most Mobile Alloy Wheel Lathes causes the diamond tip to vibrate and visible roughness occurs.

In alloy rim lathes, CNC technology is important for precision and preventing accidents in the rim processing process. This precision ensures that each rim returns to its original state on the first day it was manufactured. Thanks to its rigid structure, measurement correction software and quality guides, the FGR-24 CNC Alloy Wheel Lathe leaves a smooth surface on the rim surface without leaving any roughness.

Basic Logic of CNC Alloy Wheel Lathes

One of the most important features of CNC alloy wheel lathes is that they provide polishing of the surface of the wheel with minimum human intervention. Because most of the measuring, correction and cutting processes do not require operator intervention. The Felgerad FGR series is equipped with advanced software that converts cutting tools into precise cutting coordinates. This automation not only increases efficiency, but also reduces the possibility of human error, thus providing a smooth and flawless surface on all processed wheels.

CNC Wheel Lathe is a machine preferred by tire repair and rim repair services and appeals to the customer portfolio. Rim repairs made with sandpaper cannot produce as flawless results as CNC Alloy Wheel Lathe and take a long time. The cost of rims used in many upper segment vehicles is very high. Therefore, alloy wheel lathe refurbishment process of damaged or scratched rims is much faster and less costly compared to purchasing new ones.

Felgerad Wheel Lathe can cut all rims from 13 inches to 24 inches. Wheel Profile Database: Thanks to the intelligent wheel profile database system, you do not have to measure each rim with a touch probe again, thus saving time. For example, by recording the probe measurement as BMW Style 403, you do not have to measure the surface of the next rim with a touch probe again. With Wheel Library, you can see the images of the wheels you have previously saved and transfer them to cutting. With the auto smoothing option in the measurement correction software, you can quickly and automatically correct your touch probe measurement without manually correcting it.

Another important feature of CNC lathes is that they can be adapted to various wheel sizes and designs. Whether you are dealing with aftermarket or OEM wheels, CNC alloy wheel lathes can be programmed to suit different sizes and designs. In this way, you can process 13 or 24 inch wheels with offset or flat surfaces.

Advantages of Using CNC Alloy Wheel Lathes for the Operator

Another advantage of using CNC alloy wheel lathes is the increased precision in wheel re-polishing. Traditional manual lathes often rely on the skill or attention of the operator, which can lead to inconsistencies or accidents. However, CNC lathes provide uniformity by ensuring that each wheel is machined according to the same coordinates.

CNC alloy wheel lathes significantly reduce the time required for wheel reconditioning. Automated processes make cutting and repair easier and allow workshops to handle more intensive work. This increased productivity can lead to higher customer satisfaction, less time spent and more profit.

Durability

Durability and weight are another important consideration when purchasing an Alloy Wheel Lathe. High-quality CNC alloy wheel lathes should not be manufactured from lightweight raw materials or low-quality slides. The Felgerad FGR series does not cause vibration thanks to its cast body and high-quality slides. Alloy Wheel Lathes with lightweight bodies that cause vibration do not have a wavy appearance on the surface causes wear.

Also, a high quality diamond tip suitable for aluminum raw material must be used. The quality of the diamond tip is as important as the quality of the motor and slides and should be changed regularly.
