ARS26H Wheel Straightening Machine — overhead-position CNC lathe for alloy wheel diamond-cut refurbishment

The ARS26H is a CNC alloy wheel lathe for professional diamond-cut (DC) refurbishment. Like the standard ARS26, it handles wheels from 10 to 26 inches with a 4-position tool post and a 0–300 r/min variable spindle. The difference is the tool approach: on the ARS26H, the cutting assembly is positioned above the wheel centre axis rather than from the side. This overhead geometry gives clear, unobstructed access to deep-dish rims, concave spoke profiles and complex wheel faces that a conventional side-entry tool cannot reach in a single setup.

Powered by a 1.5 kW motor, the ARS26H is built for alloy wheel material — aluminium alloys machined with PCD or carbide inserts at the spindle speeds this machine provides. At 400 kg gross weight it sits in the mid-range of the wheel lathe category and fits through a standard commercial doorway for installation without major workshop modifications.

  • Overhead tool position — reaches deep-dish and concave wheel profiles a side-entry lathe cannot
  • 4-position tool post — index between roughing, finishing and chamfer inserts without stopping
  • 0–300 r/min variable spindle — match speed to wheel diameter and alloy type
  • 10″–26″ wheel repair range — passenger car through large SUV and light truck

How diamond-cut refurbishment works on the ARS26H

The damaged wheel is mounted on the spindle and the overhead cutting tool traces the wheel face profile at controlled depth and feed rate. The overhead approach means the tool reaches the full face geometry — including deep concave sections — without repositioning the wheel between passes.

StepWhat happens
1. MountWheel is centred and clamped on the spindle; runout is minimised before cutting starts
2. Rough cutCarbide insert removes corrosion, old lacquer and damaged surface material
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 ARS26H is built for

Rim repair specialists handling premium and performance vehicles — the overhead tool configuration reaches the full face of deep-dish, concave and multi-spoke designs common on BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Range Rover platforms, where a side-entry tool is obstructed by the rim barrel or flange geometry.

Wheel shops expanding to a higher-value DC service — diamond-cut refurbishment commands a premium over standard repair. The ARS26H produces the OEM-quality machined finish that high-end customers expect, without requiring a larger or more expensive machine.

Facilities that have outgrown the standard ARS26 — same core specs as the ARS26, but the overhead geometry adds capability for complex wheel profiles without changing the workflow.

ARS26H Wheel Straightening Machine – FAQs

1. What does “overhead position” mean and why does it matter?
On the ARS26H, the cutting tool approaches the wheel from above the centre axis rather than from the side. This overhead geometry gives clear access to deep-dish rims and concave wheel faces where the barrel or flange would block a conventional side-entry tool, allowing the full face to be machined in a single setup without repositioning the wheel.
2. Can the ARS26H produce a true diamond-cut finish?
Yes. The machine is compatible with PCD (polycrystalline diamond) cutting inserts used for the final finishing pass in DC refurbishment. The 0–300 r/min variable spindle and 4-position tool post support the roughing-to-finishing sequence required to produce an OEM-quality bright-machined face.
3. What cutting inserts are compatible?
The ARS26H accepts standard DCMT and VCMT carbide inserts for roughing and intermediate passes, and PCD inserts for the final diamond-cut finish. PCD inserts have significantly longer tool life on aluminium alloys than carbide and produce the mirror-like surface required for DC refurbishment.
4. Can the ARS26H repair structurally bent or cracked wheels?
No. The ARS26H 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 significant impact deformation — requires a separate hydraulic wheel straightening press before any lathe work is performed.
5. What power supply does the ARS26H require?
The 1.5 kW motor can be configured for single-phase 220V or three-phase 380V at the factory. Specify your local voltage requirement when ordering. The power draw is modest and compatible with standard commercial workshop installations.
6. How long does it take to machine a wheel?
A moderately damaged wheel — one rough-cut pass plus one PCD finishing pass — typically takes 15–30 minutes on the lathe, not including setup and dismount. Heavily corroded or deeply damaged wheels may need additional passes. Cycle time also depends on wheel diameter and spindle speed selected.
7. Is operator training required?
Basic machining familiarity is recommended. The machine is designed for skilled automotive technicians rather than CNC machinists. Inovatec provides an operation manual and can arrange remote video commissioning guidance. On-site support is available for bulk orders or distributor accounts.
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.
