FAS Converting Machinery AB makes machines for plastic-bag manufacturing. The company is located in Ystad in the very south of Sweden. They want a new method for detecting the perforated joints between the plastic-bags, to make the machine able to count the number of bags rolled up. The current method uses a spark that goes through the small holes in the perforation. That method does not work at h

This master thesis has been made on behalf of Sony Ericsson in co-operation with Machine Design at Lund Institute of Technology. The background is a need within Sony Ericsson to test moulded plastic parts before they are assembled together to a phone. There are today various specified tests that are made on every single phone before it is launched, but they are all made on complete assembled phone

This resport is the result of a Master Thesis project between Winfoor AB and the Division of Machine Design, Faculty of Engineering, LTH, at Lund university. Winfoor AB has developed a new technology for producing wind energy. This technology utilizes the motion of a wind subjected sail cloth (wind element).The wind generates an ascillating movement of the wind element, from which energy can be p

The purpose of this work has been to perform numerical calculations on the cubical mixing tank the QB mixer, to be able to verify its strength and try to improve it. The QB mixer is produced by the company QB FoodTech AB. Firstly a CAD model was made from drawings of the mixer. Then the structure was analysed in aspects of pressure load, thermal loads and gravitational load. A modal analysis to ge

The task consisted in helping Tetra Pak with the problem that they today have with unexplained deformation of their creasing carriages. Tetra Pak uses different carriages depending on which kind of packaging that is to be manufactured. The carriages are hauled in and pulled in to the production line when another type of packaging is to be manufactured. Basically the carriages look the same, the th

Amongst other products the company produces disc brakes for the heavy road vehicle industry. Disc brakes developed by Haldex, based on the sliding caliper principle, are during certain circumstances experiencing problems with malfunction of the brake due

Vårt syfte med denna kandidatuppsats är att få en insikt i hur butiksdesign kan utgöra en betydelsefull aspekt som skapar värde för både kund och företag. Med utgångspunkt i vårt fallföretag Monki, ämnar vi att empiriskt studera deras butiksdesign samt hur butiksdesignen är kopplad till Monkis varumärke. För att därefter analysera hur dessa aspekter kan skapa ett kundvärde och därmed ett värde för
