We do not have a price for the Victor Taichung Vturn-V26WT2 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
The Victor Taichung Vturn-V26WT2 is the heaviest wheel lathe in the maker's list at 14,730 kg (32,474.05 lb), and the one with the largest turning diameter, Ø850 mm (Ø33.46 in). It takes alloy wheels up to 26.5 x 13J in on an A2-11 spindle at up to 2,000 rpm, with 6+6 tools on VDI-50 tooling.
Its axis rows set it apart from the Vturn-V26W. X travel is 560 mm (22.04 in) and Z travel is 540 mm (21.25 in), both printed as starting from zero. So the machine trades Z depth for X reach, which fits two tool groups working on a wheel from separate positions. The maker's notes on its vertical wheel lathes speak of two VDI turrets carrying out 2 turning operations simultaneously.
A rotary changer is listed as an option to keep the spindle busy between wheels. With two cuts running at once and no waiting for the loader, this is the output-per-spindle choice for large wheel production.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Vturn-V26WT2 lists 6+6 tools, Ø850 mm (Ø33.46 in) turning diameter and 14,730 kg (32,474.05 lb). The Vturn-V26W lists 8 tools, Ø760 mm (Ø29.92 in) and 12,500 kg (27,557.74 lb). Their X and Z travels differ as well.
02
X travel is 560 mm (22.04 in) and Z travel is 540 mm (21.25 in). Both rows are printed as ranges that start at zero, unlike the single version, whose X range begins below zero.
