Master’s thesis worker in Angular Measurement:

In your work as a Master thesis worker at Ursviken Technology, you will work with an angular measurement system to create feedback values for angle compensation all over the bending length. The measurement system is implemented for the bend part during the bending process and measured values are used for the compensation to reach high quality bends for different materials, thicknesses and bending lengths.

We are looking for someone who has studies in automation, software or sensor technology. The student program background can be electrical, mechatronics or software engineering. It is also necessary to have basic knowledge of laser measurement technology or machine vision systems. All Experience regarding signal or data processing, simulation and programming would be beneficial. We expect that you have both spoken and written Swedish and English skills.

Master’s thesis worker in Digital Twin modelling

In your work as a Master thesis worker at Ursviken Technology, you will primarily create Digital Twin platform for software verification with Visual Components software. This simulation model should also include the connection for the PLC via OPC-UA interface, which allows the model to operate via PLC. The simulation model is used for software verifications, bottleneck analysis and the optimization of the production systems.

We are looking for someone who has studies in automation, production automation or mechanics. The student program background can be mechanical, mechatronics or production automation engineering. It is also necessary to have a basic knowledge of Visual Components software or similar, and 3D CAD software (CREO or SolidWorks) would be beneficial. We expect that you have both spoken and written Swedish and English skills.

Master’s thesis worker in hydraulic system simulation

In your work as a Master thesis worker at Ursviken Technology, you will primarily create the simulation model for Hydraulic system of the press. The press is used for the bending process. The closed-loop position and force control including resistance of the formed material will be a part of the simulation. Based on this simulation model, it is possible to study various system variables, such as position, force, pressure, temperature and volume flow as a function of time. The simulation model is used for machine design, controllability and software verification purposes.

We are looking for someone who has studies in automation, production automation or mechanics. The student program background can be mechanical, electrical, mechatronics or production automation engineering. It is also necessary to have a basic knowledge of Matlab with Simulink software and closed-loop control systems. We expect that you have both spoken and written Swedish and English skills.
