Design and Implementation of Angular Vibration Testing Equipment

This thesis is done by two students from Blekinge Institute of Technology as an end of the master of engineering program with emphasis on applied mechanics. The thesis is done in cooperation with Axis Communications AB in Lund which develop surveillance cameras. The task was to design and implement an Angular Vibration Testing Equipment. Axis needs this to test their surveillance cameras for angular vibrations. These vibrations occur usually on cameras located on poles placed at roads and at train stations. The thesis has been carried out in three different phases where the first phase handled a deeper understanding of the problem, planning and investigating of related works. Axis has a solution for smaller cameras called Shakespeare MK I and this was used as an inspiration for us. The second phase included concept generation and concept evaluation. This has been done with brainstorming, workshop and concept scoring. At the last phase a prototype was built and tested and a detailed design was made. Two versions of the prototype were made and they showed that the concept works well. The project resulted in a working prototype that can transform linear motion to rotation around two axes. A drawing and a cost calculation were made for the final concept. The final construction is still not completely optimized and has improvement and adjustment possibilities that might be needed
