A technology that measures all static and dynamic characteristics of a door.

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.
Developers can investigate dependencies between components and optimize tolerances bands.
Manufacturing Engineers use it as a simple tool to monitor quality and troubleshoot issues.
Quality Inspectors use it to quantify customer concerns and chart impressions.
Specialty Builders use it to evaluate or upgrade the fleet to high standards.

Concept

The concept of EZ Slam is making it possible to measure accurately all key metrics of a door in a quick and simple operation.

Easy to use

Metrics

Many different metrics can be identified using the EZ Slam

Typical Over slam
Striker Alignment
Latch Point
Minimum Closing speed

Minimum Input Pulse energy
Gravity Input
Kinetic closing energy
Door check force
Static Latch energy
Swing Radius
Door Rise
Door Check Linearity

Sound loudness
Cabin pressure peak
Pressure rise time
Pressure drop time
Temperature

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.
