Section two: Object
two.1) Scope of the procurement
two.1.1) Title
Supply of Sensors for a Displacement Measurement System
Reference number
T/DJ009/24
two.1.2) Main CPV code
- 35125100 - Sensors
two.1.3) Type of contract
Supplies
two.1.4) Short description
This PIN seeks to identify the current market capability for compact displacement sensors capable of sensing within a 0 – 5 mm range to an accuracy of 1 µm for a Displacement Measurement System, the associated costs and lead times.
An array of these sensors is required for measuring the distance between stationary and moving ferrous metal plates with a nominal distance of 2 mm. The outputs of these sensors must be viewable live and any associated data can be logged. The protocol for communication is open to availability. This array will consist of 8 sensors per tracked plate, hence will need a total of 32 sensors. This number can be discussed depending on availability on chaining sensor outputs.
This system will be used during a planned programme of work conducted in a work hall at UKAEA. This is an indoor work hall, with associated environmental conditions. No radiation or nuclear considerations are relevant to these components.
