Wheel-disc machine series

Horizontal & vertical wheel-disc machines

The wheel-disc machines in the horizontal (HRM) or vertical (VRM) version produce steel wheel bowls with high strength and improved running characteristics for trucks, buses, vans, commercial vehicles and tractors.

Our WF wheel-making machines series for wheel discs provide:

a cost saving in production of up to 20% with a simultaneous increase in productivity
smooth and clean surfaces thanks to the unique 3×2 axis interpolation developed by us
20% less material usage and
highest productivity with selected wheel bowl contours (up to 200 parts/hour).
