W Series Highlights

Engineered for the global automotive wheel industry, the W Series delivers the cosmetic finish and structural integrity that are critical.

In comparison to conventional machining methods, the wheel hub machine boasts enhanced efficiency and broader adaptability. It delivers the required machining precision for wheel hubs and other high-precision components.
2.Customers have the flexibility to choose from a range of operating systems, transmission modes, as well as various speeds, powers, and core component brands, allowing for a comprehensive satisfaction of their specific needs.
3.The wheel hub machine offers a wide range of functionalities, including machining, chip removal, positioning, and material handling. Its versatility allows for the processing of wheel hubs across different sizes.

W Series Machining Applcation

With each clamping cycle, it is capable of performing various machining operations such as milling, drilling, boring broaching, reaming, countersinking, and tapping of workpiece. The Y-axis with large travel range is suitable for processing square or circular workpieces, thus being extensively applicable to the machining of NEV wheel hubs of less than 26 inches in diameter in the casting-forging process and the semi-solid die forging process.

Key Components

Structure
The machine's overall structure is characterized by a stationary design and a cross-slide configuration; featuring an exceptionally large and stable base, as well as a high-rigidity wide-span inverted "T" shaped column, the machine frame enables high-speed cutting operations without any vibrations or deformations.
Guide rail
The three axes of the machine work with #45 roller guide rails (#55 rail for T-V1285W), and the Z-axis is designed with 6 sliders to ensure exceptional rigidity and superior vibration damping, and to fulfill the requirements for precision mold surface machining with fine finishing tools.
Spindle
The standard configuration includes a high-rigidity BT40 direct-drive 12,000 RPM spindle designed with constant-temperature cooling to minimize temperature rise and reduce thermal deformation, ensuring stable machining performance.
Spindle box
The spindle box movement (Z-axis) is equipped with nitrogen balancing device, so that the stability is higher even when moving at high speed; the precise ratio of counterweight to spindle box weight can obtain the best machining characteristics and make the Z-axis drive motor have good load characteristics.

Common Questions About W Series

What is the core highlight and defining advantage of the Taikan W Series?

The primary highlight of the W Series is its specialized design tailored specifically for automotive wheel hub machining (up to 26 inches). Featuring an expanded Y-axis stroke (up to 850 mm), a high-rigidity inverted "T" column structure, and a Z-axis supported by 6 linear guide sliders, the W Series delivers an optimal combination of dynamic stability, large envelope capability, and high-speed cutting efficiency that significantly outperforms conventional vertical machining centers in cycle time and surface finish.
Which industries and manufacturing processes benefit most efficiently from the W Series?

The W Series is most efficient in the automotive and New Energy Vehicle (NEV) manufacturing sectors. It excels in batch machining of aluminum wheel hubs under 26 inches produced via casting-forging or semi-solid die forging processes, as well as large square or circular structural castings that require high material removal rates, high dynamic rigidity, and strict accuracy.
How does the structural design of the W Series ensure vibration-free cutting during heavy-duty operations?

The machine adopts a stationary column cross-slide configuration built on an ultra-wide base and a wide-span inverted "T" shaped column. Three-axis heavy-duty #45/#55 roller linear guide rails combined with a 6-slider Z-axis design provide exceptional vibration damping and structural stiffness, suppressing deflection during high-feed milling and fine finishing of complex mold and wheel geometry.
Can the W Series complete complex, multi-feature workpieces in a single clamping setup?

Yes. The W Series supports comprehensive process consolidation. In a single clamping setup, it can perform multi-operation tasks including face milling, deep drilling, boring, broaching, reaming, countersinking, and rigid tapping. Paired with a fast 24-tool inverter-controlled arm-type magazine, it dramatically reduces non-cutting idle time and eliminates cumulative clamping errors.
What options are available to support high-volume automated production and effective chip management?

To manage heavy aluminum chip volumes, the W Series offers integrated dual-screw row chip evacuation and high-pressure Coolant Through Spindle (CTS up to 7MPa). Additionally, it supports flexible CNC controller configurations (FANUC, Mitsubishi, Siemens) and automatic door/grating scale options, enabling seamless integration with robotic automation lines for smart, automated wheel hub production.
