Description
"The University of Strathclyde has a requirement for supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, and training of a new grinder-polisher replacing an existing unit that has reached end-of-life. This is being undertaken by the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) - Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), for Metallography and Materials Characterisation Laboratory (Lab 6 AF114). The lab provides metallographic sample preparation to support research, industrial projects and student projects.Metallographic preparation is a crucial stage in materials characterisation and allows for microscopy, hardness testing and many more analysis. The current Eco-Automet grinder-polisher has deteriorated over years of heavy use, resulting in inconsistent sample quality and higher service costs.AFRC requires a modern, reliable automatic grinder-polisher with consistent performance, advanced automation, programmable processes, and compatibility with existing consumables and sample sizes, removal of old equipment. This will ensure continuous operation and support increasing demand from industrial projects and research programmes."
