EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CNC WHEEL PROCESSING
WHAT IS WHEEL RENEWAL WITH CNC WHEEL METHOD?
Diamond-cut alloy wheel processing is a method used on a lathe machine that leaves part or all of the painted surface of the wheel with a shiny alloy surface. When an alloy wheel is produced, a small portion of the alloy wheel is processed to create a shiny alloy surface. Then, a polishing process is performed to prevent the wheel from rusting, and it is varnished.
It is quite easy to understand whether a wheel has been CNC processed or not, but it is much more difficult to determine if your alloy wheel is old or has suffered some corrosion. You can understand this by looking closely at the wheel and seeing the fine, small cutting lines from the cutting machine.
CAN MORE THAN ONE CNC PROCESS BE DONE ON A WHEEL?
In general, depending on the thickness of the wheel, it can undergo multiple CNC wheel turning processes. For this, technicians examine the wheel based on its characteristics and surface form and can provide this information more accurately. Also, not every alloy wheel may be suitable for CNC wheel turning processes.
HOW IS THE SURFACE OBTAINED AT THE END OF CNC WHEEL PROCESSING?
After CNC wheel processing, very small cutting marks that are not felt by hand are visible on the surface. These marks can be adjusted to be more pronounced or much less depending on customer demand. The marks can be brought to the desired appearance with machine speed and progression.
WHICH CAR MANUFACTURERS USE CNC WHEEL PROCESSING?
Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW car manufacturers use CNC processing on the wheels of most of their vehicles. The main reason for this is related to the prestige of their vehicles. CNC diamond-cut wheels not only add value to your car but also give your vehicle a striking feature.
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF CNC RIM PROCESSING?
Many companies that repair rims do not have a CNC rim machine. In such a case, it is almost impossible to process the rim surface on universal lathes. Most of the time, the visible surface damage is repaired using methods such as welding, grinding, and putty. Finally, painting is done. Since the rim surface will not be shiny, it will be very obvious that your rim has been repaired, but when CNC rim processing is done, the repaired rims regain their original appearance, and it is very difficult to distinguish them from new ones.
