Door testing and closure validation

Door closing, sealing, motion, and quality analysis in one ATS page

This page brings together dedicated door and closure tools from EZMetrology along with complementary shift and pedal-related systems from ATESTEO and AB Dynamics. The goal is to cover both detailed door-closing behaviour and the wider interaction of operator inputs, production quality, and repeatable lab measurement.

ATS can use this page for OEMs, suppliers, and manufacturing teams that need objective numbers instead of subjective impressions when evaluating door feel, sealing, effort, quality consistency, and related driver-control interactions.

Nine solutions covered on this page

EZSlam

Dedicated closure measurement system for the full door-closing event.

SealScan

Compact 2D scan system for seal gap, seal compression, and panel alignment.

SpeedPod

Next-generation closing-effort gauge for minimum closing efforts.

EZEnergy

Door energy, force, and speed evaluation with hinge and check effects included.

Audit

Audit environment software for recording, organizing, and exporting door data.

PLS

Production line closing-effort inspection with barcode and VIN workflows.

Gear Shift Analysis

Objective shifting-force and travel evaluation for manual transmissions.

Pedal Robot

Repeatable brake, throttle, and clutch actuation for automated testing.

Gear Shift & Clutch Analysis

Combined shift and clutch investigation for early quality and NVH studies.

Door slam analysis

EZSlam

EZMetrology positions EZSlam as a dedicated closure measurement system that captures data for the complete closing event. It is designed to convert subjective door-feel impressions into objective numbers that can be shared across design, development, manufacturing, and quality teams.

Official metrics include items such as latch point, minimum closing speed, closing force, pressure peaks, kinetic energy, and door-check behaviour, making it a strong fit for detailed door-system engineering and quality benchmarking.

SealScan

SealScan is a compact lightweight 2D scanning system for fast cross-section measurement of mating surfaces. EZMetrology positions it for capturing the shape and location of seals, trim, glass, and body-in-white features either separately or as an assembly.

This makes it especially relevant for seal gap, seal compression, and panel alignment studies where engineers need visual and dimensional confirmation of the closure interface before and after design changes.

Closing effort gauge

SpeedPod

SpeedPod is presented by EZMetrology as a new-generation closing-effort gauge for minimum closing effort studies. Official positioning highlights improved accuracy, reduced measurement time, simplified operation, 250 g weight, 16 GB on-board memory, wireless connectivity, and one-hand suction-cup mounting.

ATS can frame SpeedPod as a fast audit and development tool when users want go/no-go visibility, orientation compensation, direct door mounting, and portable deployment across multiple vehicle programs.

EZEnergy

EZEnergy captures door closing energy and extends beyond classic speed-only methods by including hinge and door-check influence. Officially it combines energy, force, and speed evaluation and can identify the lowest energy that latches and the highest energy that does not latch through its gap-mode workflow.

That makes it useful for teams investigating overall closure effort and door quality standards where a more complete understanding of the closing event is needed than speed alone can provide.

Audit software and reporting

Audit Solution for Door Closing Efforts

EZMetrology's Audit software records, analyzes, and reports data from compatible door-measurement devices such as EZSpeed, EZEnergy, EZPressure, and SpeedPod. It is positioned for audit, benchmarking, and development work with model- and VIN-based organization plus graphical and numeric reporting.

For ATS, this is the software layer that turns portable door measurements into structured engineering evidence across multiple closures, vehicles, and comparison studies.

Production Line Solution (PLS)

PLS is positioned by EZMetrology as a closing-effort inspection system for production-line environments, suitable for 100% inspection or random sampling. Official features include barcode scanning, VIN decoding, automatic data upload, database export, touchscreen operation, and charting such as histograms, shift charts, and pass/fail statistics.

ATS can position PLS for manufacturing teams that want line-side closure quality control without keyboard interaction and with direct output to servers or quality systems.

Gear shift analysis system

Gear Shift Analysis

ATESTEO's GSA gear shift analysis is designed to measure and analyze shifting forces and travel directly in the vehicle. Official benefits include objective characteristic values, filterable tabular and graphical evaluation, comparisons across projects, and optional clutch power, displacement, analog, and CAN inputs.

ATS can include it on this page as a complementary objective-feel analysis tool when interior control quality and operator interaction are part of the wider development program.

Pedal Robot

AB Dynamics positions its pedal robots for repeatable actuation of braking, throttle, and clutch functions across vehicle testing programs. They can operate on their own or together with steering and gearchange robots and are designed for installation in a wide range of vehicles.

Within ATS positioning, pedal robots can support closure and control-feel studies where repeatable driver inputs are needed to complement door, gear, and clutch evaluations during integrated development or proving-ground work.

Clutch and gearchange analysis

Gear Shift & Clutch Analysis

ATESTEO combines gear shift and clutch analysis for manual-transmission development. Official details describe measurement hardware that can be installed quickly in vehicles, high-quality data acquisition, automatic determination of shifting phases, and analysis software that evaluates zones such as synchronization, blocking, free flight, and overpushing.

Clutch analysis is positioned for identifying clutch-related NVH and mechanism issues early, so ATS can use this section to extend the page from pure door testing into broader component-interaction quality analysis.

Why this portfolio works together

SW

Software Flow

Move from portable development tools to audit databases and production-line quality control using connected software workflows.

OP

Operator Inputs

Add pedal, shift, and clutch analysis where component quality depends on consistent human or robotic interaction.

CM

Comparison Power

Support benchmarking, VIN-based traceability, charting, and objective cross-program review.

FAQs

1. What is the main purpose of this page?

This page groups closure-measurement, seal, effort, audit, production-line, and control-interaction tools around component door testing and related quality studies.

2. Which products are dedicated specifically to door-closing analysis?

EZSlam, SpeedPod, EZEnergy, Audit, and PLS are directly focused on door-closing measurement, analysis, or quality control workflows.

3. What does SealScan add to the workflow?

SealScan adds geometric understanding of seal gap, compression, and panel alignment, which helps explain why a closure may feel or behave differently.

4. Why are gear, clutch, and pedal systems included here?

They extend the page into broader component interaction quality, especially where repeatable operator inputs and subjective-feel replacement with objective data are important.

5. Which tools fit production-line inspection best?

PLS is the strongest fit for line-side quality control, while Audit fits benchmarking, development, and review across multiple vehicles and closures.
