During springterm 2010 Erik Persson and Magnus Hansson performed their Thesis

Work with DIAB Laholm, in Hallands County for University of Halmstad.

The project has been a product development project without exterior customers. Thus

it had a great emphasis on functionality and less emphasis on marketing and such.

This reflects the ambition to develop machinery to be used within the production

facilities of DIAB Laholm, not to be sold to exterior customers.

Main objective has been to create machinery which enables the production of

rotational symmetric work pieces within a NC-milling machine with 5 axles. The

work pieces milled will be made of DIAB’s material Divyncell with varying

densities.

The project has followed Fredy Olssons method involving Principal – Primary –

Manufacturing constructions. However a complete manufacturing construction has

not been made since DIAB just wanted a good Primary construction which will serve

as a base for finishing touches at DIAB.

By the end of the project material including calculations has been sent to DIAB and

they will finish the work and manufacture the machine if they find economic viability

in this.

The work method has been suited for this by several reasons, it was created with

these projects in mind and it’s also the method most familiar to us.
