CNC saw

University of Edinburgh has a requirement for a high-speed liquid cooled CNC controlled spinning disc saw machine to undertake precision cuts of various materials, advanced carbon fibre in particular.

The objective is to carry out precision cuts with minimum edge abrasion/fraying. The users have ruled out laser, water-jet and milling as appropriate options for the requirement based on tests because these options cause too much edge abrasion for the required research purposes; as such this requirement is specifically for a spinning-disc saw.
