ARS26 Wheel Straightening Machine — CNC alloy wheel lathe for professional diamond-cut refurbishment

The ARS26 is a CNC alloy wheel lathe for professional diamond-cut (DC) refurbishment and surface machining. Wheel refurbishment shops use it to restore the bright-machined face of alloy wheels damaged by curb impact, corrosion or general wear — a high-margin repair service that keeps wheels on the road rather than replacing them. The machine handles wheels from 10 to 26 inches, covers the full range of mainstream passenger car and crossover fitments, and runs a 4-position tool post for fast insert indexing between roughing and finishing passes.

At 350 kg and 1330 × 810 × 1410 mm packed, the ARS26 is one of the more compact machines in its capability class. It fits through a standard commercial doorway, works on a 1.5 kW supply, and can be positioned in workshops where floor space is limited — making it a practical first lathe for shops adding diamond-cut capability.

  • 10″–26″ wheel repair range — covers the full mainstream passenger and SUV fitment range
  • 4-position tool post — rough, finish and chamfer without stopping to change tools
  • 0–300 r/min variable spindle — optimise speed for wheel diameter and alloy type
  • Compact and lightweight — 350 kg, fits standard commercial doorways

How diamond-cut refurbishment works on the ARS26

The damaged wheel is mounted on the spindle and the lathe traces the face profile with cutting inserts at controlled depth and feed rate. A carbide insert removes the damaged surface layer; a PCD (polycrystalline diamond) insert on the final pass produces the bright-machined surface. The wheel then moves to a spray booth for clear lacquer.

StepWhat happens
1. MountWheel is centred and clamped on the spindle; runout is checked and minimised
2. Rough cutCarbide insert removes corrosion, old lacquer and surface damage
3. Finish cutPCD insert makes the final pass, producing the bright diamond-cut face
4. LacquerWheel moves to the spray booth for clear protective lacquer (separate equipment)

Who the ARS26 is built for

Independent rim repair and tyre-fitting businesses adding DC services — the ARS26 is straightforward to install, operates on a modest 1.5 kW supply, and covers the mainstream passenger vehicle wheel range that makes up the bulk of everyday refurbishment volume.

Fast-fit chains and service centers standardising a wheel lathe platform — a compact, reliable machine with consistent output across locations. The 4-position tool post and variable spindle speed keep the workflow predictable regardless of operator.

Used-car preparation centres and dealership bodyshops — cosmetic wheel restoration is a standard part of vehicle turnaround. The ARS26 handles the 14–20″ alloy wheel sizes most common in this segment efficiently, without the cost of a larger machine.

ARS26 Wheel Straightening Machine – FAQs

1. What is diamond-cut wheel refurbishment?
Diamond-cut (DC) is a refurbishment process in which the wheel face is machined on a lathe to remove the damaged surface layer and restore the original bright-machined finish. The name comes from the PCD (polycrystalline diamond) inserts used on the final pass. The process restores wheels from manufacturers including BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover that originally left the factory with a machined face finish.
2. What cutting inserts does the ARS26 use?
The ARS26 is compatible with standard DCMT and VCMT carbide inserts for roughing, and PCD inserts for the final diamond-cut finishing pass. PCD inserts produce the mirror-like surface required for DC refurbishment and last significantly longer on aluminium alloy than carbide alone.
3. Can the ARS26 repair structurally bent or cracked wheels?
No. The ARS26 is a surface machining lathe. It removes material from the wheel face to restore surface profile and finish. Structural damage — bent flanges, cracked spokes or impact deformation — requires a separate hydraulic straightening press before any lathe work is performed.
4. What power supply does the ARS26 require?
The 1.5 kW motor can be configured for single-phase 220V or three-phase 380V at the factory. Specify your local voltage when ordering. The modest power draw is compatible with standard commercial workshop supply.
5. How long does it take to machine a wheel?
A moderately damaged wheel — one rough pass plus one PCD finish pass — typically takes 15–30 minutes, not including setup and dismount. Heavily damaged wheels may need additional passes.
6. What is the difference between the ARS26 and ARS26H?
The core specifications are identical — same wheel range, motor, spindle speed and tool post. The difference is the tool approach angle: the ARS26 uses a side-entry configuration suited to standard flat-face wheels; the ARS26H uses an overhead configuration that gives full access to deep-dish, concave and complex premium wheel profiles. For mainstream passenger car wheels, the ARS26 is sufficient.
7. Can steel wheels be machined on the ARS26?
The ARS26 is designed and rated for aluminium alloy wheels. The tool post and insert specifications are matched to alloy material properties. Running steel wheels at production rates is not recommended and will accelerate insert wear.
8. Do you provide export packing and documentation?
Yes. We handle standard export packing and shipping documentation for delivery to 60+ countries. Contact us to confirm lead times and freight options for your destination.
