  Function and Working Principle of Wheel Rim Repair Lathe: Enhancing Wheel Rim Restoration

• The wheel rim repair lathe is a specialized CNC machine designed exclusively for repairing wheel rims. It offers a wide range of functionalities, including scratch repair, dent machining, surface cleaning, coating refurbishment, wheel rim repair, center bore repair, and even comprehensive backside plate processing and repair solutions. The core principle of this wheel rim repair lathe involves utilizing laser scanning technology to capture the precise shape of the wheel rim surface. This information is then fed into the CNC system, where advanced algorithms automatically generate CNC programming instructions. The actual contour machining is performed using high-quality PCD cutting tools.
• Under what circumstances is the wheel rim repair lathe utilized? It is commonly employed while ensuring optimal wheel rim dynamic balance. Typically, deformed wheel rims are initially corrected using a wheel rim shaping machine. Following this, the wheel rim surface is thoroughly cleaned, and a specialized fixture is employed to laser scan the wheel rim surface data. The collected data is then utilized to automatically generate CNC programs for precise contour machining. Finally, a clear lacquer is applied to the wheel rim surface, and the wheel rim is dried in a controlled oven.

Advantages of Wheel Rim Repair Lathe: Cost-effective, Time-Saving, and Restorative


• Cost-effectiveness over replacing with new rims: Repairing car wheel rims using a wheel rim repair lathe is a more economical option compared to purchasing brand-new rims. It helps vehicle owners save money while also promoting environmental sustainability by avoiding unnecessary resource waste.

• Time-saving in wheel rim repair: Repairing wheel rims with a wheel rim repair lathe is a time-saving process. Waiting to purchase new rims involves high time costs due to the need for matching and logistics. Repairing the rims directly not only saves time but also prevents prolonged vehicle downtime.
• Restoration of original appearance and performance: The wheel rim repair lathe effectively restores the wheel rims to their original appearance and performance, ensuring they are on par with new rims. This restoration maintains the overall aesthetic harmony of the vehicle.

Applications of Wheel Rim Repair Lathe: Versatile Solutions for Various Industries


• The wheel rim repair lathe finds applications in diverse sectors, including automotive repair centers, racing and automotive modification industries, automotive manufacturing, car rental and used car markets, as well as tire and wheel rim retailers.

How To Change Wheel Color?

 Change Wheel Color requires the application of a wheel repair lathe to process the surface of the car wheel hub. When choosing a CNC hub lathe, you need a CNC wheel lathe that can be equipped with a laser probe. And there are different ways of clamping the wheel hub such as central shaft clamping or three-jaw chuck clamping.

The special programming software for the HAISHU wheel lathe can automatically carry out laser detection. After the wheel surface is detected, there will be automatic optimization of the numerical control program for automatic processing.

change wheel color is roughly divided into three methods:

  1. Change the color of the wheel hub by spraying paint film;
  2. Change the color by painting the wheel;
  3. The color of the wheel drawing is changed;
  4. Change the color of the wheel electroplating.

    How To Change Wheel Color

    wheel repair latheWith the diversification of the car service industry, car modification is becoming more and more common. Many car groups are not only limited to car power modification but also modify the appearance of the car according to their own wishes. Among them, change wheel color is a more popular modification service at the moment, but if you directly replace your car with a new style of wheel, the cost is relatively high. Therefore, many car owners who want to modify the wheel hub will choose the wheel hub color-change service. The color change of the car wheel achieves the effect pursued by the car owner while retaining the original car paint wheel. Huang Pineapple Auto Service can change the wheel to one color or two colors according to the owner’s wishes!

    changing wheel color, the original wheel hub is generally a painting process, so if you want to change the color, you must first polish off the original paint surface of the original wheel hub, and then repair the wheel hub. If it is a new wheel hub, this step can be omitted. Finally, according to the original car technology and the owner’s color change requirements, the wheels are repainted.

    The wire drawing process of the car wheel hub has won the favor of many car owners and friends, so many car owners will change the original paint wheel hub to the wire drawing process. The brushed wheel hub is to be brushed on the surface of the wheel hub with professional equipment and then use varnish to make a protective layer on the surface of the wheel hub, and the brushed wheel hub is refitted. What I need to remind all car owners and friends is that once the brushed wheel is damaged, it can only be re-drawn.

    Changing wheel color by electroplating method. With the growing maturity of wheel electroplating technology, it is not limited to electroplating in black and white. It can also be customized according to the owner’s personal preferences. Electroplating wheels are generally divided into water electroplating and vacuum electroplating. The water electroplating process will not It appears to be scratched, but it will corrode the hub. If the hub is corroded, it can be repaired, but the de-plating time is relatively long, and the water-plating needs to be repaired for a longer time. However, the environmental pollution of the water electroplating process is relatively large, so there are very few water electroplating companies now. If the water electroplating wheel is to be repaired, it must be repaired by vacuum plating of the wheel; if the wheel is repaired by vacuum plating, it is after stripping, and re-according to “four sprays and four” The process of baking” is repaired.

    Changing wheel color has a variety of processes and a variety of effects! Car owners can choose the color and craftsmanship of the wheels according to their personal preferences!
