Shock and Vibration Shaker System

A shaker table is required by the Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult for environmental testing to evaluate product resilience and to demonstrate market readiness. This has been identified as a key piece of equipment for the Catapult allowing us to develop our expertise in reliability and failure analysis for all three technical sections (Photonics, Power Electronics and RF). This equipment is required to provide capability for sinusoidal and random vibration as well as high-acceleration shock tests for small to medium sized payloads. This equipment will be used for R&D during the Catapult's collaborative and internal projects whilst also providing potential commercial opportunities in compliance and pre-qualification testing against a range of standards for harsh environments. The Catapult may also purchase additional related services. This notice should be read in conjunction with notice ICT-2018-022. Items ICT-2018-021 and ICT-2018-022 are potentially being purchased together and must be compatible. Suppliers are invited to tender for ITC-2018-021, and ITC-2018-022 as optional. Suppliers may enter into consortia, sub-contract or deliver both requirements themselves.
