Between the IMAT and LET beamlines, there are 8 chopper systems. The controllers of two of these choppers are rapidly becoming obsolete, and the controllers for the other six are out-of-date. This obsolescence increases the risk of the chopper systems failing, which results in loss of beamtime until the choppers can be restored. The choppers have already been supplied and their controller hardware and software must be compatible with these existing choppers. The cost includes firmware and software purchasing for the two LET choppers; upgrades for the six IMAT choppers and software, along with the installation and remote user support preparation ## CPV classification Industrial lasers Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/b1f7665c-dedd-4e4c-91ad-0404185e163c) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
