This equipment restores damaged wheel rims to their original condition. It addresses issues like bends, cracks, and cosmetic imperfections, often employing hydraulics, rollers, and specialized tooling to reshape and refinish the metal. For instance, a bent aluminum rim can be secured to the device, and through controlled pressure and manipulation, the deformation is reversed.
Restoring rims offers significant economic and safety advantages. Repairing a damaged rim is typically more cost-effective than replacing it, conserving resources and reducing waste. Furthermore, a properly repaired rim ensures the structural integrity of the wheel, contributing to vehicle safety and handling. The development of this technology has evolved alongside automotive advancements, addressing the increasing complexity of wheel designs and materials. Early methods relied heavily on manual labor, while modern equipment utilizes computer-controlled precision for more efficient and accurate results.
