The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to Yamazaki Mazak UK Limited for the supply, installation and commissioning of a 5-axis milling machine for research machining studies at the AMRC North West's interim facility in Preston and ultimately at a new facility in Samlesbury.

The equipment supports research into machinability, dynamics and process monitoring, and is required to have robustness, high precision and repeatability for manufacturing high-performance aerospace, automotive and similar parts with demanding tolerance requirements.

As the machine will be used for research projects rather than production, it must be readily and rapidly changeable to work in new modes of operation.

The contract value was AUD 239,860.
