Universiteit Leiden is seeking a CNC machining machine capable of machining large, lightweight parts made of aluminium, with a small proportion of stainless steel, titanium, and plastics. The machine must have an extensive range of motion across its five axes to process multiple interfaces in a single setup, which is crucial for the accurate positioning of complex parts. Thermal stability within the machining volume is essential due to the high thermal expansion of aluminium. The produced parts are primarily used in high-tech instrumentation and are assembled internally in a clean-room environment. The contract concerns an open, public supply of a machine that meets high precision and stability standards and is suitable for producing relatively large, complex parts.

The contract concerns an open, public supply of a machine that meets high precision and stability standards and is suitable for producing relatively large, complex parts.
The Machine must be capable of milling various part sizes, shapes and materials, predominantly of aluminium and, to a minor extent, stainless steel, titanium and plastics. Main application is single part production of in-house designed lightweight, complex parts with accurate interfaces positioned on various sides of the part, both on the outer perimeter and deep inside. To improve interface accuracy, the number of interfaces accessible by the Machine in one setup is maximized, requiring a large articulation range of the five machine axes. As many parts produced will be of a relatively large s
