Description

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is for a new high accuracy coordinate measuring machine (CMM) at our Teddington site, to replace an existing system that is no longer fit for purpose.

The CMM should be fully compatible with current NPL laboratory and IT infrastructure, be free standing i.e. not built into the lab building's foundations and must be verified against ISO 10360.

The CMM should have state-of-the-art capability including the ability to utilise non-contact probing systems such as confocal chromatic probes. The CMM should also have capability to be developed and upgraded with future foreseeable technologies. This is both in terms of software and hardware capability.

The solution should consider the environmental impact of manufacturing, delivering, and running the CMM.
