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 0.1 mm.
