Vehicle wheel forming machine - has formers to shape bead seat portion and hold wheel for finishing holes and axial locating surfaces

摘要

The machine comprises a first set of forming tools juxtaposed to one of the bead seats, a drive for reciprocating these forming tools from a retracted position into an operative position for engaging the first bead. A second set of forming tools is juxtaposed to the second bead seat and supported for movement in a radial direction and in an axial direction relative to the wheel. The second set of forming tools is moved from a retracted position to a forming position in which the second bead seat is deflected both radially and axially into trued condition.
