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.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Mount | Wheel is centred and clamped on the spindle; runout is minimised before cutting starts |
| 2. Rough cut | Carbide insert removes corrosion, old lacquer and damaged surface material |
| 3. Finish cut | PCD insert makes the final pass, producing the bright diamond-cut face |
| 4. Lacquer | Wheel 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.
