CNC Horizontal Lathe

The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for the Provision of a CNC Horizontal Lathe on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Castings Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire.

Scope of Requirement This tender is for the supply, installation, commissioning and support over the product lifetime of a horizontal CNC lathe for use in machining research studies.

The lathe will be used for generating tensile test specimens in the AMRC 1 facility at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Rotherham.

This equipment should have high precision and repeatability for production of parts with demanding tolerance requirements as well as the capability to turn a variety of materials from Aluminium to Titanium alloys.
