- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). STATEMENT OF WORK: The contractor shall design, fabricate, install, and test, as part of a complete Turntable System, a position-controlled turntable and motion control driver that satisfies the following requirements: (1) The Turntable System must fit inside a Sulzer Metco (formerly Electro Plasma, Inc.) vacuum plasma spray chamber. The opening to the chamber is approximately 54" in diameter, which should provide plenty of room to remove the old turntable and install the new one. (2) The Turntable System shall be controlled by and be compatible with a Fagor Model 8055 controller, which is currently being utilized to control the remaining axes of the system. This controller will be supplied by the Government for use with and integration into the new Turntable System. The Fagor controller utilizes a computer for the operator interface. The turntable shall be controlled ?remotely? by the Fagor controller, not by a separate or independent remote control box, as with the current system. (3) The Turntable System must operate as a spindle (i.e. continuous rotation) as well as specific, programmable motion as a part manipulator. (4) All drivers, motors, drive train, active water-cooling, and interface hardware must be included and installed as part of the Turntable System. (5) The Turntable System must operate in and be tolerant to the vacuum plasma spray environment. (6) The turntable must be capable of supporting 1000 pounds, with maximum rotational speed of 60 revolutions per minute, variable from 0.1 revolution per minute. (7) Installation and operational testing of the Turntable System will be onsite at MSFC. Prior to installation, the contractor shall dismantle and relocate out of the way the following parts of the existing turntable system: motor, drive system, turntable, water cooling system, and turntable hardware, which will not be used for the upgraded turntable system. These parts are mechanically assembled (nuts & bolts) and integrated into the vacuum plasma spray chamber. The existing turntable weighs approximately 300 pounds. MSFC will be responsible for disposing these parts after they are removed by the contractor and relocated out of the way.
