Procurement of an articulated-arm robot with a CNC milling package for the Solid Rapid Prototyping Lab of the Weißensee Academy of the Arts Berlin

Summary

The tender concerns the procurement and integration of an articulated-arm robot with a CNC milling package for the Solid Rapid Prototyping Lab at the Weißensee Academy of the Arts Berlin. The scope includes the supply and integration of a precisely measured articulated-arm robot and the infrastructure for a control/technology cabinet enabling future use of a rotary table. A safe integration into a university research environment is expected. Bidders may submit proposals for both new and used robots, provided they meet delivery times, warranty and other contract conditions. The robot will be used as a prototyping tool in design and research education in digital higher education. The aim is to create a versatile milling cell capable of classical CNC machining as well as experimental prototyping across design disciplines. This will enable a broad group of students to experience research-oriented and competence-based learning. The delivered robot must be able to process materials such as hardwood, hard foam and soft metals; it must be compatible with classical CAD/CAM software (e.g., Encycam) and experimental software (e.g., Rhino/Grasshopper 3D). Necessary safety measures and preparation for the 7th and 8th axes are required. The delivered articulated-arm robot should meet these requirements and serve as a basis for experimental teaching and research projects. The goal of the procurement is the procurement of an articulated-arm robot with CNC milling package for the Solid Rapid Prototyping Lab at the Weißensee Academy of the Arts Berlin.
