2483/481/MY/MG/20 Optical Bore Inspection System

The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for an Optical Bore Inspection System on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Metrology Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire.

Scope of Requirement

The AMRC is undertaking research within various manufacturing topics in the aerospace sector. Within the facility there is an existing Metrology capability, which will be focused on undertaking measurement in support of this research.

As part of the equipment strategy a requirement for an optical bore inspection system has been identified. The system will be used to measure components and test pieces manufactured during our research activities, prove proof of concept and enable in-process inspection data capture.

The application of the equipment will be to use in-process as part of an automation cell. Functionality for integrating on a serial arm robot or gantry system is required. Typical use will involve inspection of bore features in multi-material stacks, threads, counter sinks, radii / chamfers in deep bores and internal splines.

This specification is aimed at purchasing a single system for use in research applications. It is expected that suppliers will provide long term support for the equipment including application engineering, part programming and software updates/upgrades.
