Description
1819/353/EML/COM/17 Tailored Fibre Placement Machine
The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a Tailored Fibre Placement Machine on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Composites Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire.
Scope of Requirement
This tender is for the supply, installation and commissioning (including all necessary training) of a tailored fibre placement (TFP) machine. The equipment will be used to create near net shape preforms for composites applications. The machine should be capable of working with carbon fibre, and capable of creating preforms up to 8mm thick. This machine will be used to lay technical fibres (such as carbon, glass, Kevlar, commingled materials, and wires) on various substrate materials (such as films, non wovens, wovens, non-crimp fabrics). The machine will use carbon predominantly, so electrical proofing is essential.
