- 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
Relative color, intensity and function testing of sources such as LEDs, including multiple simultaneous inspection positions using MFS heads.
No. MFA-7, MFA-14, MFA-21 and MFA-28 have different channel counts. Select for the required inspection positions.
No. Rates differ by model under specified baud rate/message content. Adding CCT or dominant wavelength reduces rate.
No. The controller is IP20; MFS ratings vary by head. Do not transfer head ratings to controller or vice versa.
Use compatible MFS heads/fibers and tabulated working distance. Preserve bend radius and protect unused optical connections.
