Placement objective
The placement connected software, measurement, and machine behaviour in a real camshaft manufacturing environment. The public case study is centred on developing the measurement and control concept for a Spintron-style camshaft test rig.
Engineering context
The Spintron concept sits in a practical test-system space: understanding camshaft behaviour through controlled high-speed rotation, true RPM and angle feedback, laser lift measurement, and logged analysis data.
- Spintron / camshaft dyno concept development.
- High-speed RPM and encoder measurement planning.
- Laser displacement sensing and valve-lift measurement concepts.
- VFD control and microcontroller-based data acquisition architecture.
- Engineering software for remote run setup, live visualisation, logging, and post-run analysis.
My technical contribution
My contribution was in the engineering tools and system concepts rather than general workshop labour. I worked on the Spintron/camshaft dyno architecture for synchronised encoder, laser displacement, VFD, STM32, and PC-dashboard data flow.
Results and evaluation
The Spintron concept developed a clear measurement architecture for controlled RPM, encoder angle, laser displacement sensing, and logged data analysis. The work is presented as a system-design and software-prototype case study, with hardware commissioning and measured validation still treated as future work.
