The Supply, Delivery and Installation of Machining and Robot Cells

Tender description

The University of Strathclyde requires a suitably qualified supplier to supply, deliver, install and commission a large industrial robot and machining cell on site at the National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS). Industrial automation is an ever-growing sector, and one which the National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) is actively involved in. In order to develop on the theme of automation within the machining sector, NMIS require a robotic machining cell and a large industrial robot cell. NMIS envision the purchase of the equipment will expand the institution's capabilities and ensure the delivery of projects which require a degree of flexibility when machining more complex geometries in relation to the machining cell, and give general flexibility when in relation to the large industrial robot cell. NMIS require a single suitably qualified supplier supply, deliver, install and commission the equipment in line with the below non-exhaustive specification list: - The offered robot machining cell must include a robot which has a maximum rated payload capacity 10kg. - The offered robot machining cell must include a teach pendant for robot control. - The footprint of the enclosed robot machining cell must not exceed 1650 x 1500 x 1900 (W x D x H) mm. The equipment must have a reach of at least 3 m. - The offered industrial robot cell must have a rated payload capacity of between 120 kg and 150 kg -The offered industrial robot cell must be able to support 120 kg at least 300 mm away from the equipment flange, in all three principle orthoganal directions. - The offered industrial robot cell's controller must facilitate communication via EtherCAT.
