Description

2647/495/CW/CYMRU/20 Measuring Arm (with scanning & probing capabilities)

The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a Measuring Arm (with scanning & probing capabilities) on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre CYMRU, Chester Road, Bretton, CH4 0DH.

Scope of Requirement
The AMRC CYMRU is looking for a measuring arm system with 3D scanning and probing capabilities that is able to measure many different surface types and qualities including carbon fibre, high-density foam and metallics. The parts that will be scanned will range from 0.01m*0.01m*0.01m to a 2.0m³.

The solution should be supplied with or be able to link and integrate with a recognised external CAD package through software provided within the solution.

The preference of the type of hardware solution would be an arm type with a scanner and touch probe, however if a solution is within budget and uses a different mounting technique this will not be deselected.
