Steering, Suspension, Brakes

The steering, suspension and brakes are crucial for the dynamic performance and safety of the vehicle. The steering enables the driver to control the direction of the vehicle, while the suspension provides a smooth ride. It absorbs shocks and maintains contact between the tyres and the road. The brakes are essential for safety, as they can slow down or stop the vehicle. All three components work together to provide a responsive and controlled driving experience. Technological advances in this component group, such as electronic stability control and adaptive suspension systems, further enhance the vehicle's performance and safety.

Conventional metrology often reaches its limits with these precision components and parts with complex geometries. Ball joints and rods in steering and suspension systems must be accurately dimensioned and aligned. In brake callipers, any manufacturing defects must be detected at an early stage. Their structural integrity must also be assessed.
