The tender titled "REF: AEMRI-290-PL Pulsed Laser as an Ultrasonic Generator" falls under the goods category and is currently at the tender stage. The deadline for submission is December 12, 2022, and the award period ends on December 23, 2022. This procurement process aims to acquire a pulsed laser for generating ultrasonic signals in materials as part of an advanced inspection system within the AEMRI project funded by the Welsh European Funding Office. This opportunity created by TWI Ltd's tender is suited for businesses involved in the manufacturing, fabrication, or technology sectors, particularly those with expertise in lasers and industrial equipment. Companies offering high-quality pulsed lasers or laser-based inspection systems would be well-positioned to compete in this procurement process. The project's focus on advanced materials research and robotic inspection systems presents an opportunity for businesses to showcase innovative solutions and contribute to cutting-edge research and development initiatives within the industry. ## Notice TWI is one of the world's foremost independent research and technology organisations, with expertise in solving problems in all aspects of manufacturing, fabrication and whole-life integrity management technologies.Established in Cambridge, UK in 1946 and with facilities across the globe, the company has a first class reputation for service through its teams of internationally respected consultants, scientists, engineers and support staff, whose knowledge and expertise is available to its Industrial Members as and when they require.This specification has been produced as part of an initiative known as AEMRI (Advanced Engineering Materials Research Institute), which is funded by the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) using European Regional Development Funds (ERDF). AEMRI seeks to create a unique facility housing a critical mass of equipment, expertise and resources. AEMRI provides an environment to test and prove the limits of performance of advanced materials. Through the use of advanced modelling and simulation methods, full, large-scale mechanical test structures will be designed and built upon finite element analysis (FEA) calculations. Advanced, automated non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques will be developed with the aim of saving the industry time and production costs as well as minimising the risk of catastrophic structural failures.AEMRI will deliver the objectives of the project through the following four technical strands:-- Modelling and Simulation of High Performance Materials and Structures.- Advanced Robotic Inspection of Complex Geometry Structures.- Inspection Systems for Very Large Structures for the Green Energy Sector.- Nuclear Fabrication Research Centre.TWI is seeking to acquire a pulsed laser with a high repetition firing rate to be used for the generation of ultrasonic signals in materials as part of a robotically deployed laser and hybrid laser ultrasonic inspection system.Please ensure all communication and any queries relating to this tender are made using the In-Tend correspondence facility.
