## Description

1753/329/MY/AMRC/17 Machine Tools x 3 Lots The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for 3x Machine tools on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Machining Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire\. Scope of Requirement The University seeks to purchase 3x machine tools that will support the AMRC's research into gear cutting technologies for multifunctional machine tools, including power skiving, hobbing, shaping, broaching and milling\.

The machine tools will allow manufacture of components in various materials, particularly including alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminium and nickel-based super alloys, as well as metal matrix composites and polymer composites\. The equipment should allow for machining with high pressure coolant of various types, as well as dry cutting\.
