Car Wheel repair lathe Machine is also called a CNC wheel repair machine, which is a commonly used wheel repair equipment for car 4S shops or auto repair shops. Car wheel repair lathe machine is a professional CNC wheel lathe, which can realize automatic detection, automatic optimization, automatic tool setting and other intelligent operations.

The wheel lathe has many configurations. The current mainstream is the combination of a laser probe and a touch screen, which can realize the purpose of quickly detecting and obtaining the surface graphics of the hub. At the same time, it is more suitable for most automobile hubs and has strong versatility. At present, there are many types of wheel lathes on the market, so many people can not choose. Now I will introduce how to use car wheel repair lathe machine.

How to develop car Wheel Repair Lathe Machine

The oldest wheel hub CNC machine uses a standard CNC lathe, which uses a manual tool setting and a pen to get the wheel graphics. And also need to manually carry out complicated programming. The advantage of this mode of operation is that there is no requirement for the surface of the hub and the positioning is accurate. But the disadvantages of this car wheel repair lathe machine are very obvious. The first is that the technical requirements for workers are relatively high, and sufficient operating experience and programming experience are required. The second is to test people’s long-lasting patience. It takes a long time to count and set the knife, which is especially time-consuming. Sometimes it takes about an hour to repair a wheel hub, which is very inefficient, and the cost of repairing a car wheel hub is relatively high.

In the future, the car car wheel repair lathe machine has improved repair efficiency. Automatic detection is realized on the basis of the standard CNC lathe machine. The use of gemstone probes greatly improves efficiency. However, the reality of manual programming and manual tool setting cannot be changed. The breakthrough in detection technology has only improved surface efficiency. Still need to probe little by little, and finally accumulate graphics to form a curve. The fundamental problem cannot be solved, and the manual technology requirements are still very high.

After a few more years, people began to use the combination of the CNC system and manual optimization software. That is to say, first use the CNC lathe for probe detection, and then use the U disk to enter the computer. Through the optimization of manual curves, automatic editing of the program is realized. This saves troublesome programming links and improves efficiency. This kind of car wheel repair lathe machine has been greatly welcomed by the owner of the auto repair shop, and this method has lasted for a long time.

But with the accumulation of time, everyone discovered that this kind of wheel repair lathe machine has drawbacks. That is, the requirements for the surface of the automobile hub are relatively high. If the surface of the car wheel hub is relatively smooth, the detection effect will be fine. If there are relatively large fluctuations, the probe will be distorted, resulting in inaccurate detection data and non-standard hub curves. This greatly affects the accuracy of the wheel hub surface repair.

In order to solve this problem, we have developed a laser-based detection method. This innovative approach greatly improves efficiency. The requirements on the surface of the hub have also been reduced a lot. It only takes tens of seconds to detect a hub, and there is no big error for the fluctuation of the hub surface, so the laser method gradually replaced the probe detection method.

However, we found another problem. Current standard CNC lathes cannot be perfectly compatible with laser probes, and scan failures often occur. This is because the standard digital control system’s signal acquisition method and the laser feedback signal cannot be fused. Moreover, the standard CNC system is complicated to operate and expensive. Although there are many more functions, it does not make much sense in terms of wheel repair.

So we gradually began to consider using other software to replace the CNC system. In 2014, our company began to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources to upgrade and transform the wheel repair lathe. After two years of exploration and research, we finally launched a CNC system dedicated to automobile wheels to reduce costs and improve efficiency which as won the appreciation and support of customers all over the world.

Our HAISHU wheel hub system combines the characteristics of simplicity, efficiency, low cost, and high-cost performance. First of all, in terms of the numerical control system, we simplified the functions and solved the problem of complex functions and difficult to master with only a few operation interfaces. Moreover, a touch screen is adopted, and some functions such as detection, optimization, and processing can be realized by simply tapping the screen a few times.

In terms of wheel detection, we can implement two detection methods: probe and laser, and laser detection only take ten seconds to complete. After the detection is completed, the curve can be automatically displayed, and it can be recognized at the first glance whether the detected wheel curve is perfect and correct. If customers want to continue to use probe detection, we can support both modes to meet the different needs of different customers

Our wheel repair lathe machine has also been greatly improved in terms of optimization. The curve of the original wheel repair machine needs to be entered into the computer and optimized manually. Our detection system can be optimized directly within the system and uses two modes: automatic and manual. Different optimization methods can be selected for different wheel hub surfaces, which are more efficient and more convenient. If you have not contacted a wheel lathe, you can master it in 30 minutes. Make tedious optimization links simple. And the optimization plan is also selectable, we can provide more than 10 kinds of plans, customers choose independently, very humane.

Moreover, our alloy wheel repair lathe has also made great improvements in the clamping of automobile wheels. The center positioning method used in the previous diamond cutting wheel lathe. It is to add a fixed central shaft to the main shaft of the wheel lathe to fix the automobile wheel hub on the hole of the central shaft. This clamping method is relatively simple, and the efficiency is relatively slow, and the one-handed installation is also difficult. We later developed a way to install extended claws with a chuck. According to the shape of the hub, it was processed on a precision CNC machine, so that the hub can be quickly clamped to the hub CNC machine.

We have also carried out a complete transformation in the way of installing the tools. The tool holder of the previous wheel lathe was manually rotated and locked, which resulted in physical exertion and sometimes the tool holder was not locked tightly. Caused the wheel hub to tremble during the repair. Later we developed two tool holder structures. One is to directly use the most mechanical tool post, so that the tool post does not need to be rotated, which reduces the failure rate and saves time for clamping. This tool holder is equipped with a laser and probe, which perfectly realizes the stability of processing. The other is the electric tool post, which can change the tool automatically without manual locking, which improves the processing efficiency. In addition, we have solved the problem of wire entanglement during the rotation of the tool post, and the transition device has been added to perfectly avoid the occurrence of failures.

Later, we also found a problem. The standard CNC wheel repair lathe machine has a large volume and space, resulting in a waste of resources and increased costs. Therefore, according to the characteristics of automobile wheel repair, we have reduced the volume of the wheel repair lathe while ensuring the repair effect. There is also a change of the existing horizontal lathe structure to a vertical lathe structure, which can achieve a relatively large wheel hub, which can achieve relatively easy clamping

In addition, we have also carried out appearance transformation and design in the aspect of wheel CNC machines, and applied for patents from overseas countries and regions such as the European Union, South Korea, Vietnam, etc., making our wheel lathes more abundant and perfect.

In addition to the appearance modification, we have also made major changes in safety. The previous car wheel repair lathe machine had no safety protection and mechanical positioning. There may be a safety incident. In order to improve the safety of the Development wheel repair lathe, we have added a zero return device. When you operate the Development Wheel Repair Lathe for the first time, you can press the zero return to accurately position and achieve calibration. And we also added a safety door device, which complies with EU standards. When the operating door is opened, the machine cannot be operated, which protects the personal safety and property of the customer. In our car wheel repair lathe machine, we also added a safety lock for the main power supply to prevent workers from accidentally touching the power supply.

Now our wheel lathes have been sold to more than 90 countries around the world. And has its own agent in many countries. Now we are continuing to develop new technologies to make our rim lathes more convenient and safer. After the Development car wheel repair lathe machine software, we will upgrade for free for customers and enjoy free upgrades for life.

At present, we also want to automate the transformation of wheel hub clamping and change our spindle chuck to power chuck, so that customers can automatically realize automobile wheel hub clamping. In addition, the speed of the spindle can be adjusted in real-time to realize constant-speed processing. The other is to allow two sections of wheel hub curves to be automatically docked, allowing customers to change the wheel hub curves more easily.

The focus and simplicity of functions have greatly improved the efficiency of wheel repair, reducing the repair time from one hour to more than 10 minutes. At present, the price of our wheel lathes has also dropped a lot, because our research and development of new technologies and the redesign of wheel lathes have greatly reduced costs, improved efficiency, and become more intelligent and automated. We have also installed an automatic door device for our wheel hub repair lathe, which can open the door with one click, and is constantly pursuing the ultimate in saving labor and improving efficiency.

Now our company can produce 50 wheel lathes every month, and provide products to our foreign agents on time every month. Moreover, there are specialized service teams overseas, and we can provide on-site service in some areas. Let our customers rest assured to buy and use our car wheel repair lathe machine. In the future, we will provide you with more advanced alloy wheel lathes. Make the repair of car wheels easier.
