Systematic Concept Evaluation and ExperimentalValidation of a Portable Condition Monitoring Device Background. Unplanned stoppages in cableway roller systems cause significantfinancial losses and material waste in manufacturing environments like NKT inKarlskrona. Current maintenance strategies are mostly reactive or rely on manualinspections, creating a need for practical predictive maintenance solutions. Objectives. The objectives of the thesis areContinue reading “Predictive Maintenance for Cableway Rollers”

Topology Optimization as Design Support for Temporary Cable Support Holder
Cable Management During Transport within Production Facility This thesis addresses the issue of transporting cables attached to a pump throughout the manufacturing process, from assembly to painting and packaging, with a solution suitable for a wide range of pumps with alternating sizes, shapes, weights, and suspension systems. In order to generate a fully functional cableContinue reading “Topology Optimization as Design Support for Temporary Cable Support Holder”
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used in applications such as environmental monitoring, underwater inspection, and seabed mapping. However, many existing systems are either expensive, mechanically complex, or difficult to adapt for small-scale development projects. The purpose of this project was therefore to design and develop a compact and modular AUV platform using commercially availableContinue reading “Autonomous Underwater Vehicle”
Automation av Hantering av Polbultkomplett
Batteritillverkare Saft AB i Oskarshamn har under det senaste året börjat en resa mot ökad automation för att bli mer konkurrenskraftiga, men även reducera repetitiva arbetsuppgifter för att förbättra ergonomin. De har arbetat fram en tydlig industriell vision som sträcker sig till år 2040. Visionen går under arbetsnamnet ”No Touch!” där målbilden är att haContinue reading “Automation av Hantering av Polbultkomplett”
Guiding a continuous sheet through multiple rollers
Tail threading is the process of guiding a continuous sheet through multiple rollers. It is a critical step in paper, board, and textile production, especially after a break or during startup. This thesis investigates the development of improved methods for tail threading in flooring mat production, which is heavier compared to paper and textile production,Continue reading “Guiding a continuous sheet through multiple rollers”
Wave energy conversion system
This project aims to prove that it is possible to build a small-scale, low-budget wave energy conversion system, optimized for near-shore operation. A prototype was developed to efficiently harvest wave energy and measure output voltage, with the intention of also tracking the wave height. The solution for the problem statement consists of a buoy madeContinue reading “Wave energy conversion system”
High-frequency radar imaging
High-frequency radar imaging using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology has significant potential for non-destructive testing and quality control in industrial applications, such as inspecting High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cables during manufacturing. This thesis develops and verifies a calibration procedure designed to accurately determine the Phase Centre (PC) of an FMCW radar antenna mounted onContinue reading “High-frequency radar imaging”
Det immersiva ägget
På vårt studiebesök på Malmö Museum fastnade jag för Eero Aarnios Ball Chair Audio. Jag slogs av den avskärmade känslan och hur man blev audiellt isolerad från rummet utanför. Samtidigt gillade jag hur bilden i Wisdome täckte i princip hela synfältet, och tänkte att den en fusion av dessa två skulle vara en intressant ochContinue reading “Det immersiva ägget”
Development of Modular Frames Intended For Sealing Cables
When highly customer specific and specialized products needs quick and easy changes it might produce consequences which affects both the producer and customer negatively.A modular product could ease the financial burden and shorten increasedtime in production by offering a product which can be refined by a reseller close to the customer or by the customerContinue reading “Development of Modular Frames Intended For Sealing Cables”
Adaptive Designs for Maritime Environments
Background: Saab, a Swedish defense and security firm, specializes in aerospace, defense, and maritime technologies. Challenges with customized mounts for naval systems hinder maintenance efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Developing standardized mounts could optimize operations, reduce costs, and improve readiness. Corrosion threatens structures, and reducing a vessel’s magnetic field signature enhances safety by lowering detection risk. Ship vibrationsContinue reading “Adaptive Designs for Maritime Environments”
