4232/AMRC/RH/24 - Short Pulse Laser The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a Short Pulse Laser on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre Factory 2050, Sheffield Business Park, Europa Avenue, Sheffield, S9 1ZA The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) are looking to replace their SPI redPOWER QUBE 2kW continuous-wave laser currently located at Factory 2050. The main application of this new laser will be further cutting trials with thin sheets of electrical steel for the production of electrical machine laminations, initially to produce perforations. A remote laser cutting is being investigated as an alternative to traditional gantry-mounted fusion laser cutting. The perceived benefits of this method of cutting are that the cut rate is increased (the scanner is capable of speeds of up to 8,000 mm/s) and that the thermal damage (measured in terms of electromagnetic performance, not physical material properties) is reduced, both with reference to the traditional fusion cutting baseline. Materials being investigated are high-silicon steel (e.g. NO20) and cobalt iron (e.g. Hiperco50 - 49% cobalt content). Sheet thicknesses could range from 0.35 mm down to 0.1mm.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Lasers (38636100); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 382,9922 median · 12 average (1,388 of 2,992 with a bid count)2.6 average (1,588 of 2,992 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

The main\napplication of this new laser will be further cutting trials with thin sheets of electrical steel\nfor the production of electrical machine laminations, initially to produce perforations.\nA remote laser cutting is being investigated as an alternative to traditional gantry-mounted\nfusion laser cutting. The perceived benefits of this method of cutting are that the cut rate is\nincreased (the scanner is capable of speeds of up to 8,000 mm/s) and that the thermal\ndamage (measured in terms of electromagnetic performance, not physical material\nproperties) is reduced, both with reference to the traditional fusion cutting baseline.\nMaterials being investigated are high-silicon steel (e.g. NO20) and cobalt iron (e.g.\nHiperco50 - 49% cobalt content).
