In the competitive landscape of automotive, quality remains a top priority for all manufacturers. As always, the door is considered an important representation of build quality of a vehicle so outgoing inspection stays in focus. Everyone involved with doors understands that a door is a collection of many potential experiences. The established procedures will cover several aspects such as closing energy, closing speed, static closing force and opening speed. These characteristics will capture any defect in hinge, check, seal or striker.
Saving Money
The multi-point inspection in this case required up to four different tools. First, this variety causes a time burden on the operators. For each door, they must install, activate and record each of the four different systems. Second there is the hidden cost for the overhead of maintaining 4 individual measurement system with their respective calibration and maintenance costs. The new generation EnergyPod devices does all in one. One device, one software, one setup.
