Notice Title

3136.526.LT.RAPD.21 Supply of a Containment Solution

Notice Description

The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for design and production of a containment solution for a Grob G550T machine tool on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Castings Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire. Scope of Requirement The design and production of a containment solution for a Grob G550T machine tool to allow for machining to occur within an argon atmosphere. The solution should be able to contain the machine tool and additional related equipment (e.g. a swarf conveyor) and as such will have an approximate internal volume of 6400 x 2900 x 3320 mm. The containment area should be capable of achieving a 50ppm oxygen content and should include sensors to monitor oxygen, argon and moisture levels within the containment and enable the detection of any leaks of the containment area (resulting in either unplanned argon egress or oxygen ingress into the containment area). The bag should be capable of holding the argon under slight positive pressure (e.g. 1.2 bar) and should include a relief valve system to prevent catastrophic failure of the bag in the event of an over pressurisation.
