- 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
With a compatible controller, IFS2404 supports distance and one-sided transparent-material thickness measurements. It includes compact heads and versions for series production.
No. Configurations cover 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 18 mm spans. Select net span and start distance separately from the model column.
The manufacturer provides separate distance and thickness linearity rows. Use the row and test conditions corresponding to the application.
It needs a head, compatible fiber for its FC socket, confocalDT controller, and power/data connections. Select fiber length and connectors from the accessory table and configuration.
No. It refers to glass with n=1.5 under specified range conditions. Match refractive index and surface-peak separation to the material and selected system.
