How much does the Victor Taichung Vturn-22W cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Victor Taichung Vturn-22W that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
For alloy wheels up to 22 x 10J in, Victor Taichung lists the Vturn-22W, a slant-bed wheel lathe with Ø620 mm (Ø24.4 in) of turning diameter. The spindle has an A2-8 nose and a 2,000 rpm limit, and the turret carries 12 tools on □32 mm shanks.
Victor Taichung calls the horizontal wheel lathes a solution for turning wheel sizes up to 22 inches, and this is the model that reaches that limit. Compared with the Vturn-18W it has more X travel, 380 mm (14.96 in) with a range of -30 to +350 mm, two more turret stations and a lower top speed. Z travel is the same 750 mm (29.52 in). It weighs 7,920 kg (17,460.59 lb).
The surrounding equipment matters as much as the cutting figures on a wheel line. Standard items include an auto door, high pressure coolant, a special chip conveyor and an oil skimmer, and the guarding is fully enclosed to keep chips and coolant in. That suits loading by robot, with the door opened by the program.
A slant-bed machine holds the wheel on a horizontal spindle, which is the conventional arrangement for the two turning operations. The maker's vertical wheel lathes are the alternative when loading and unloading time dominates. Options here include a finger chuck, a VDI turret, an oil mist remover and a higher power spindle of 37/45 kW (50/60 HP).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table lists 22 x 10J in as the maximum wheel size, with a maximum turning diameter of Ø620 mm (Ø24.4 in). The maker describes its slant-bed wheel lathes as covering wheel sizes up to 22 inches.
02
The Vturn-22W turns Ø620 mm (Ø24.4 in), has 12 tools and runs to 2,000 rpm. The Vturn-18W turns Ø530 mm (Ø20.86 in), has 10 tools and runs to 2,500 rpm. Both have 750 mm (29.52 in) of Z travel.
03
X travel is 380 mm (14.96 in), printed as -30 ~ +350 mm, and Z travel is 750 mm (29.52 in), printed as 0 ~ +750 mm. The X range lets the tool cross the centre of the wheel.
04
7,920 kg (17,460.59 lb). The standard machine comes with levelling blocks, and the chip conveyor position should be allowed for when a line of wheel lathes is laid out.
