Predictive Maintenance for Cableway Rollers
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…

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…

Design and Development of Durable Conveyor Rollers for Outdoor Use
For industries utilizing conveyor systems, roller failure can result in reduced efficiency or even unplanned downtime. A typical conveyor roller consists of an outer tube, end caps at both ends, bearings housed within the end caps, and a throughgoing axle. In collaboration with NKT, this thesis investigates…

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…

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…

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…
