Another very important step for working on Hi-Tech Wheel Repair CNC Machine is to do trial-run before actual machining process. In this process, the operator should watch closely to make sure that the cutting insert will follow the digitized profile from the starting point to the finishing point without any deviations. If it does, then, the operator should make the adjustment right there. To carry out this procedure, it is natural for operator to see the wheel mounted in vertical position, which works perfectly on a horizontal lathe like Lehigh Wheel Repair CNC Machine. However, it will not work on a vertical lathe where the alloy wheel is laying down instead.
In order to hold down and secure the bent rim before applying hydraulic force onto the bent rim, the radial clamps with multiple lug hole patterns are designed and manufactured so that most bent wheels can be easily fully secured.
Selecting the radial clamp is based upon the lug bolt pattern for the bent wheel. It can be applicable to any lug bolt type for 3 or 6, 4 or 8, or 5 & 10, covering most automobile wheels on the market.
For each radial clamp, all lug bolts can be easily moved in and out simultaneously so that they can match different wheels with various lug hole patterns right away.
After having install the radial clamp onto the wheel, the operator can install the lock nut on the ACME leadscrew for the final step of the wheel installation.
