## Description

This tender is for the supply, installation and commissioning of a 5-axis milling machine for use in research machining studies\. The equipment will be used for testing and demonstration purposes in the AMRC North West's interim facility in Preston and ultimately in a new facility at Samlesbury\. The equipment will support the AMRC's research into technologies such as machinability, dynamics and process monitoring\. The equipment should have adequate robustness, high precision and repeatability to facilitate the manufacture of high performance aerospace, automotive and similar parts with demanding tolerance requirements\. As the equipment will be utilised for research projects rather than production, its usage will be subject to frequent change to suit different projects\. The solution should therefore be readily and rapidly changeable to work in new modes of operation\. Additional information: Any queries regarding this Invitation to Tender should be submitted through the University's e tendering system https://in-tendhost\.co\.uk/sheffield via the Correspondence facility\. Your tender response must be submitted through the University's on line e-tendering system https://in-tendhost\.co\.uk/sheffield to arrive by the date and time specified above\. Late tenders will not be considered\.
