AEROSPACE
EZMetrology supports the aerospace industry through the utilization of EZMotion and EZPressure, to ensure that aircraft meet the proper safety and quality requirements. Furthermore, our machines and software can also be used to optimize performance aspects of the aircraft such as speed, fuel efficiency, stability, and more. All these components can be improved to make the aircraft safer, faster, and more ecofriendly.
In-Flight Window Vibrations
Windows in aircraft, whether it may be to pilot the plane, or for leisurely sightseeing, must be adapted to overcome pressure changes and intently prevent potential damages. Our EZMotion technologies enable you to provide solutions for in-flight measurements of main or sub-structures of the craft.
Specifically, the system can be used to quantify dynamic deformation of doors or windows under important pressure variations in flight vessels such as helicopters.
EZMotion Benefits:
Optimized for Low Frequency Vibrations (0-50Hz)
Multiple Points for Shape Deformation
Combined with Pressure or Force data.
Operations of Doors/Hatches
Doors and hatches are vital to making sure that passengers are kept safe from the depressurization of the plane’s speed and altitude. The possibility to configure our EZMotion technologies and adapt it to specific requirements enables us to provide measurement technologies to describe operations and kinematic compliance of multi axis mechanisms. The position measurement combined with operational force can provide the necessary insight into the quality of the kinematic structure and elements.
EZMotion Specific Advantages:
Optimized for Low Frequency Vibrations (0-50Hz) or Static Deformations under load
Multiple Points for Shape Deformation
Combined with Force data to measure peak force and Helicopters
Pressurization
EZMetrology’s optical measurement technology for both static and dynamic deformation, is a perfect tool to study quantity deformation under pressure load. High contrast targets can be placed in and around the structure. A set of high-resolution pictures will allow the software to determine the relative displacement of this point cloud. The perfect tool for fast yet accurately determining changes in gap, in flush or in sheer between adjacent panels, window opening door gaps, hatches, and more.
Wind Tunnel Instrumentation
EZMotion will be used to measure structural deflection or deformation of parts subject to pressures cause by the airflow. A single set can be focused on particular components or a camera network can overview the complete assembly.
EZMotion Specific Advantages:
Optical Trackers (adhesives or point) do not interfere with air flow
3D Displacement of multiple points
Relative Displacement
Position as an important addition to force measurements to establish compliance.
Camera System us positioned outside the laminar flow
Landing Gear Drop Test
Landing an aircraft is one of the main components of a flight that ensures safety, this means that the parts of the plane that ensures that smooth landing (the wheels and the suspension assembly) must meet a certain standard. Our product EZMotion, will evaluate the kinematic behavior of and transient deformation of the wheel and suspensions to determine if they have the appropriate tolerance to endure the impact of a plane landing.
EZMotion Benefits:
High Speed, Short Recording Time
Multiple Points for relative displacement
Full 3D displacement for accurate feedback towards simulation.
Part Dynamics Response
EZMotion optical technology platform can be found in applications for parts dynamic response measurement and quantification. Where accelerometers provide an excellent in high frequency spectrum, the optical technology is perfect for the static or low frequency responses.
A part placed on a test bench and be subject to mechanical or thermal loads will deflect. The displacement of multiple points can be recorded in function of time. A collection of optical targets, in the form of high contrast adhesive labels, placed on specific points on the part, are measured and provide accurate 3D position at a rate anywhere from 100Hz all the way up to 2000Hz.
The obtained measurement data can validate the parts specifications such as max deflection, resonance peak or provide valuable feedback to the simulation.
DropTest Dynamic System Validation
EZMotion 3D data combined with force, pressure, or other sensor, provide a comprehensive picture of the behavior of the assembly or its kinematics. The individual structures, their kinematics and compliance, can be characterized or evaluated.
The position data can determine on specific stress points, joint locations, displacements, repositioning, flexibility… Based on position, accurate conclusions can be drawn towards velocity (position or angular) and even acceleration.
Having determined the current velocities and damping characteristics, system adjustment can be envisioned to improve the overall performance of the kinematics design.
Hydraulic Kinematics
EZMotion tracks the dynamic performance of hydraulic assemblies to document and establish speed performance, total travel, drift, snubber effect and more.

Dummy Position/Adaptive Control
The position information obtained from EZMotion can be used to steer a fully automatic system to obtain a desired specification. The stream of data is used as input to the motion controller and used in a control loop.
Guided Positioning:
The guiding application can be performed with manual positioning. For example, the operator can position a dummy in line with a certain impact hammer trajectory to make sure the hit occurs on a specific point on the dummy’s chest.
Typical Applications:
Adaptive control for robot position feedback
Interactive position of dummy on test stand
K&C Testing and Durability Rig
