- Axle Drives With our balancing machines for front and rear axle transmissions, the measured unbalance is corrected by drilling into the drive flanges of the transmissions (welding optional). We support you with our interdisciplinary expertise in the production of front and rear axle transmissions from the initial idea to the design stage through to series production.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
They are 8 mm diameter hybrid confocal heads with axial or radial beam paths. The table lists 0.4, 1.5, 4 and 10 mm model-dependent ranges.
No. The maximum angle is a usable-signal limit on reflective surfaces. The footnote states that accuracy decreases towards that limit.
The value is range-specific and refers to glass with refractive index n=1.5 at mid-range. It must not be generalized to every material or position.
The head includes a 2 m fiber and E2000/APC connector. Controller connection and any extension must follow the manufacturer conditions, including bending radius.
It refers to the front of the head, not the entire controller and connection assembly. The head operating temperature is +5 to +70°C.
