Introduction

EZ Slam is the world's first dedicated closure measurement system. The EZ Slam innovative design measures and stores door closing data for the complete closing event.  EZ Slam integrates precise algorithms and scientific methods into a simple, comprehensive tool for closure measurement. The EZ Slam translates subjective impressions into objective numbers.  EZ Slam is easy to use and can be operated by non-metrology technicians.  Once data is acquired the EZ Slam generates results that can be shared throughout an organization. This assists in comparing designs, facilitates quality monitoring, and accelerates the design analysis process.

Applications

  • Designers use it to compare different concepts or different designs.

  • Development can investigate dependencies between components and optimize tolerances bands.

  • Production uses it as a simple tool to monitor quality and troubleshoot issues.

  • Quality uses it to quantify customer concerns and chart impressions.

  • Aftermarket uses it to evaluate or upgrade the fleet to high standards.

C.I.M.: Combined Integrated Model

C.I.M. is the method of combining information from several tests into one database or model and determine key characteristics that otherwise can only be estimated by time consuming iterative testing. Because many metrics are interdependent, the EZ Slam can determine the correlation between these different metrics and broadcast the relationship as a characteristic, or predict critical intersections points.
