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.
