WRC28VM Vertical Diamond Cut Wheel Repair CNC Lathe — high-accuracy vertical-spindle lathe for alloy wheel diamond-cut refurbishment

The WRC28VM is a vertical-spindle CNC wheel repair lathe designed for high-accuracy diamond-cut refurbishment of alloy wheels up to 30 inches. The vertical orientation — wheel mounted horizontally on a face-up chuck, tool moving in from above — gives the cutting head direct gravity-assisted access to the full wheel face without the leverage and vibration that horizontal-spindle lathes generate at large diameters. The result is a more stable cut, tighter tolerances and a consistently bright DC finish even on the most demanding premium rim profiles.

Powered by a 7.5 kW main motor and running on a Syntec CNC controller, the WRC28VM supports spindle speeds from 50 to 1500 rpm and cutting speeds from 0.1 to 1000 mm/min. The TP300 Pioneer Sensing Probe maps the actual wheel surface before cutting, generating an optimised toolpath automatically — no manual programming required. All main structural parts are cast iron, and the high-frequency hardened slide guideways and columns give the machine long-term dimensional stability.

  • Vertical diamond-cut spindle — gravity-assisted stability for large-diameter rims up to 30″
  • TP300 sensing probe — automatic surface scan and toolpath generation in seconds
  • 0.1–1000 mm/min cutting speed range — from fine finishing to rapid stock removal
  • Syntec CNC controller — digital optimisation software purpose-built for wheel profiles
  • Full enclosure safety door — operator protection and coolant containment

How the WRC28VM machines a wheel

The wheel is loaded face-up onto the 3-jaw chuck (320 mm diameter, with special soft jaws). The TP300 probe scans the wheel surface in seconds, feeding the actual profile data into the Syntec digital optimisation software. The system generates the cutting toolpath automatically. Roughing and finishing passes run in sequence; the operator monitors from the control panel without manual programming at any stage.

StepWhat happens
1. Chuck & centreWheel loaded face-up on 3-jaw chuck with soft jaws; runout verified
2. Probe scanTP300 probe maps the actual wheel surface curve; data fed to Syntec controller
3. Auto toolpathDigital optimisation software generates the cutting program from the scan data — no manual programming
4. Rough cutCarbide insert removes damaged surface material; cooling system manages heat
5. Diamond finishDiamond cutter makes the final pass; bright-machined DC surface produced
6. Unload & lacquerWheel moves to spray booth for clear lacquer protection (separate equipment)

Who the WRC28VM is built for

Premium wheel refurbishment centres working on large-diameter and complex rims — the vertical spindle and 30″ capacity cover the full range of OEM and aftermarket alloy wheels, including 22–30″ sizes on high-end SUVs, sports cars and light trucks where accuracy and surface quality are non-negotiable.

High-volume shops where programming time costs money — the TP300 probe and Syntec digital optimisation software eliminate manual program writing entirely. A new wheel profile is scanned and a toolpath generated automatically in seconds, allowing operators with minimal CNC background to run production from day one.

Facilities upgrading from horizontal-spindle lathes — the vertical orientation reduces vibration-induced chatter on large diameters, improves chip clearance and simplifies coolant management compared to a horizontal machine at the same wheel size class.

WRC28VM CNC Lathe – FAQs

1. What makes the WRC28VM a “vertical” lathe, and why does it matter?
On the WRC28VM, the wheel mounts horizontally with its face pointing upward; the spindle axis is vertical and the cutting tool approaches from above. This vertical orientation uses gravity to assist chip clearance, reduces cutting-force-induced vibration at large diameters, and gives the tool unobstructed access to the full wheel face. The result is better surface finish consistency and tighter tolerances on wheels above 22 inches compared to a conventional horizontal-spindle lathe of similar power.
2. Does the machine require CNC programming skills to operate?
No. The TP300 Pioneer Sensing Probe scans the actual wheel surface and passes the data to the Syntec digital optimisation software, which generates the cutting program automatically. The operator selects the wheel and confirms the cut parameters on the panel — no G-code writing is required. Inovatec states that operators with no prior CNC background can run the machine within a day using the supplied training materials.
3. What wheel sizes does the WRC28VM handle?
The machine supports a maximum process diameter of 780 mm and a maximum swing of 820 mm, covering wheels up to 30 inches. This includes the full passenger car, crossover and performance SUV range (14–24″) as well as the growing segment of large-diameter aftermarket and OEM fitments up to 30″.
4. What cutting tools are included, and can I use third-party inserts?
The machine ships with a diamond cutter set. The 4-position quick-change tool post accepts standard 25×25 mm tooling. PCD (polycrystalline diamond) inserts and DCMT/VCMT carbide inserts from any compatible supplier can be used. For the DC finishing pass, PCD inserts produce the highest surface quality and longest tool life on aluminium alloy.
5. How does the cooling system work?
The machine includes a built-in turning cooling system that directs coolant to the cutting zone during operation. This controls heat build-up in the aluminium alloy, preventing thermal deformation and protecting tool life. The full enclosure security door contains coolant spray within the machine, keeping the workshop area clean.
6. What power supply does the WRC28VM require?
The 7.5 kW main motor requires a three-phase supply. Voltage configuration (380V or other) is confirmed at order stage to match your local supply. The machine’s weight (1500 kg) and floor space requirement (1500×1820 mm footprint) should be factored into installation planning.
7. How does the WRC28VM compare to the WRC28 horizontal lathe?
The WRC28 is a horizontal-spindle machine (wheel mounted vertically, tool approaching from the side) with a 28″ max wheel size and 7.5 kW motor. The WRC28VM’s vertical spindle extends capacity to 30″, reduces vibration at large diameters, and adds the TP300 probe-and-Syntec automatic toolpath system. For shops processing a premium or mixed wheel range where maximum accuracy and minimal operator programming are priorities, the WRC28VM is the stronger specification; for straightforward high-volume work on standard passenger vehicle wheels, the WRC28 is a cost-effective alternative.
8. Do you provide export packing and documentation?
Yes. We handle standard export packing and shipping documentation for delivery to 60+ countries. Training video, operation manual and tooling are supplied with the machine. Contact us to confirm lead time and freight options for your destination.
