1: 15-inch large LCD display (touchable), separate operation interface, user-friendly design.
2: The automatic wheel hub drawing machine can realize the laser scanning data collection of the wheel surface curve, which can be completed in more than ten seconds.
3: The wire drawing machine is fully automatically optimized according to the actual curve of the wheel hub surface, and the automatic production process is performing precise repair and precision machining.
4: Safe speed and high brightness: The default speed is 350 rpm (the speed can be adjusted), and high brightness is achieved at low speed.
5: It only takes 30 minutes for zero-based personnel to fully master it, and the training time is short, and they can start work in one day.
Economic YN-26 Wheel CNC Lathe Machine — affordable entry-level CNC lathe for alloy wheel diamond-cut refurbishment
The YN-26 is an economic CNC wheel lathe designed for alloy wheel refurbishment up to 25 inches. Where the WRC28 and WRC28VM are built for high-volume or premium applications, the YN-26 is the right machine for workshops adding diamond-cut capability for the first time, or for businesses that need an affordable, compact and easy-to-operate solution without sacrificing the core DC result.
The machine uses laser scanning to map the wheel surface automatically — the complete scan takes more than ten seconds — and the self-developed CNC system generates and optimises the cutting program from the scan data without manual input. Default spindle speed is 350 rpm (adjustable up to 1000 rpm), the complete lathe process can be finished in under ten minutes, and the machine is rated ready to operate within 30 minutes of first-time training. At 1000–1200 kg, it occupies a small floor area and can be installed in workshops where the larger WRC series machines would not fit.
- Laser scanning probe — full wheel surface mapped automatically in seconds
- No-programming operation — CNC system generates and optimises the cutting path from scan data
- 10-minute lathe cycle — fast throughput for high-volume or time-sensitive operations
- 15″ touchscreen LCD — simple, operator-friendly interface; 30-minute learning curve
- Compact footprint — 1700×1450 mm (NY-26), fits tight workshop spaces

How the YN-26 machines a wheel
The wheel is mounted on the chuck. The laser scanning system maps the wheel surface in X and Y axes — completed in seconds. The on-board CNC system takes the scan data, generates a fully optimised cutting program automatically, and executes the repair. No operator programming is needed at any stage.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Mount | Wheel clamped on chuck and centred |
| 2. Laser scan | Laser probe scans the wheel surface in X and Y axes; data collected in seconds |
| 3. Auto program | CNC system generates fully optimised cutting path from scan data — no operator input required |
| 4. Machine | Cutting program executes; full lathe process completes in under 10 minutes |
| 5. Lacquer | Wheel moves to spray booth for clear lacquer protection (separate equipment) |
Who the YN-26 is built for
Workshops adding diamond-cut for the first time — the 30-minute operator learning curve, no-programming operation and 15″ touchscreen interface make the YN-26 the lowest-barrier CNC wheel lathe in the Inovatec range. A technician with no prior CNC experience can be producing quality DC results on the same day the machine is commissioned.
Shops with limited floor space — at 1700×1450 mm (NY-26) the YN-26 occupies significantly less space than the WRC28 (2140×1600 mm) or WRC28VM (1500×1820 mm), making it practical for compact workshops or mobile refurbishment units.
Cost-sensitive businesses prioritising payback speed — the lower purchase price, combined with the 10-minute cycle time and minimal operator training cost, makes the YN-26 the fastest-payback entry point into DC wheel refurbishment in the Inovatec range.
