The brief

The University is looking to procure a laser cutter with the following specifications:- o The laser cutter bed size should be a minimum of 900 x 500mm to facilitate a broad range of applications. o The cutter must be able to work with a variety of thickness of material for marking, so the possible maximum work piece height should be a minimum of 275mm and be able to support a static load of up to 18kg. o Equipped with a 120W CO2 tube.

To future proof the machine, it must have the capability of retrofitting fibre laser (with onsite install). o Capability to cut wood, acrylic, laminates fabric, rubber, matt board and paper.

This list of materials (with the addition of anodized aluminium) should also be able to be marked by the laser (either by raster or vector processes). o Must have demonstrable protection against dust ingress to minimize maintenance requirements and cleaning of the optics. o Raster engraving at a speed of 3 m/sec. o Software to run the machine should be easy to use and allow for pre-defined profiles for different materials.

This is to be supplied and included in the proposal.

Features such as nesting multiple parts should be possible.
