ZKW Lighting Systems develops and manufactures innovative, high-quality lighting systems for the automobile industry. But new materials, complex designs and tight tolerances push conventional metrology to its limits. Two ZEISS METROTOM computer tomographs offer completely new possibilities. They enable nondestructive measurement and inspection and deliver in-depth results fast. That saves time during development and creates stable processes in production.
“In 200 meters take a right turn into Calwer Street.” An arror of light is now projected on the street which visually underscore the directions from the navigation system. That’s a welcome relief when you’re driving home at night after a long day, the driver thinks. Shortly thereafter, a snowflake symbol appears on the asphalt – a frost warning. “It’s a good thing I already have the winter tires on,” the driver thinks. “I’m still going to drive more slowly.” For good reason: amid the darkness, a pedestrian is suddenly seen walking on a side street toward the street where the driver is. “I have to drive more slowly anyway, so I‘ll let the person cross.” The driver presses a button and the front headlines project a zebra crossing of light on the street. This informs the pedestrian that he can now cross safely.
