Device for processing a rim and method for using a device for processing a rim

A device to process a rim (1) for a vehicle, comprising:

• a means to support (2) the rim;
• a means to center the rim;
• a means to handle material including chipping produced via machining of the rim to the inner side (6) in a direction (7) located down on the means to support (2) the rim at a first side of the means to center the rim and a second side of the means to center the rim, such that the rim is held and centered between the first side of the means to center the rim and the second side of the means to center the rim;
• wherein the rim (2), to align with a central hub axle (8), is substantially concentric with respect to a machining axis (9) of the means to support (2) the rim and/or a predetermined machining radius about the machining axis (9) is, in a hub portion (10), in one direction (1 1) of the inner side (6) of the rim (1) with the means to handle material including machining (4) a material preparation, via drilling hole by the means for support (2) into the wheel hub portion (10) is feasible;
• wherein the means to support (2) the rim has a funnel-shaped element (5) as a protective insert, and is insertable into an inner surface (6) of the rim;
• wherein the funnel-shaped element (5) is arranged in such a way that the funnel-shaped element provides for a seal of an outer area (12) of the rim against loosing of processed material swarfs (13);
• and
• wherein the device is characterized in that a plate-shaped element (18) provides recesses (24) for the means to center the rim.
