What is being bought
The University of Southampton is currently exploring a range of options to meet its need for an Ultraprecision CNC Machining System. The Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) is looking to extend its capability in ultraprecision machining of photonics. Specifically, the ability to process larger wafers, integrate inline metrology systems and increase processing speed. The University is keen to explore all options that may be available in the marketplace and interested parties are invited to complete and return a Soft Market Testing Questionnaire. Further details, including the University's high-level requirements, can be found at Section II.2.4.
