Mechatronics

Lab Facilities

The equipment below is used by staff and students for rapid prototyping of new mechatronic products and designs. The equipment is linked to courses such as CAD/CAM design, Product Development, Industrial Robotics and bachelor and masters theses. The equipment is also used for contract work for external companies.

Laser Tracker and FARO mesurement arm:

As the first educational institution in Norway, UiA has invested in a FARO laser tracker, for high-precision measurements in mechatronics. This equipment can measure 3-dimensional positions with micrometer precision. In addition UiA has invested in a FARO Fusion Arm with a laser line scanner. This equipment is used in product development and generation of 3D CAD files from physical objects.

3-axis CNC Machine:

CNC-maskinen programmeres fra DAK/DAM programvare og brukes til 3-akse (X,Y,Z) maskinering av metal (hovedsaklig aluminium og stål).

6-axis ABB IRB1400-1.44 and IRB6600-2.55 Robots:

Robot Lab 2009

These two robots are also programmed by CAD/CAM software and is used for 5-axis (X,Y,Z and two angles) milling of large objects made of wood, plastics, ceramics, composites or soft metals (aluminium).

3D Printer:

This 3D printer is used for RAPID prototyping of smaller objects.

Milling Machine for Electronic Circuit Boards:

This milling machine is used to mill PCBs for electronic circuits.

Tensile Testing Machine (Strekkprøvemaskin in Norwegian)::

This equipment is used to test characteristics of materials, such as stiffness, forces, crack growth, failures, etc.

Dynamic tensile testing machine from SI-Plan. Specifications: load 25kN, stroke LVDT 100mm, calibration 0.50%, horizontal test length 405mm, max test frequency 100Hz.
