ARS26 Alloy Wheel Straightening Machine

Hydraulic Straightening for Suitable Alloy Rims

The ARS26 uses a hydraulic station and piston cylinder to apply controlled force to suitable deformed wheel rims. It can be reviewed for wheel-repair work where the material, damage, mounting arrangement, and repair limits permit straightening.

The technical data lists a 10–26 inch wheel repair range, four tool posts, a 1.5 kW motor, and a spindle speed range of 0–300 r/min. Confirm wheel width, offset, mounting dimensions, overall clearance, and the required tooling for the rims you intend to process.

Inspect the Wheel Before Selecting a Repair

Identify the alloy, deformation, cracks, previous repairs, and the wheel manufacturer’s repair restrictions. A straightening machine does not establish that every damaged wheel can be returned to service. Repair acceptance requires an appropriate inspection and agreed limits for the actual wheel.

The original machine specification does not demonstrate that straightening leaves all dimensions or mechanical properties unchanged. Define the required runout, critical dimensions, inspection method, and acceptance criteria before establishing a repair procedure.

Plan the Workshop Installation

The listed machine dimensions are 1330 × 810 × 1410 mm, with a weight of 350 kg. Review floor space, loading access, hydraulic equipment, electrical supply, and maintenance access. Allow space for the wheel and the operator’s work around the machine.

Request an ARS26 Configuration

Send the wheel diameter and width, material, mounting details, photographs of typical damage, and expected workshop output. Discuss the supplied tools, fixtures, controls, operating instructions, and inspection requirements with Inovatec.
