66 -- MASTER CONTROLLER AND RESOLVER/ANALOG CARD SOL F08651-98-Q-1409 DUE 061198 POC Paula Faye Cosson, (850) 882-5169, Contract Specialist; Lonnie L. Oswalt, Contracting Officer The Air Force Development Test Center (AFDTC) is contemplating awarding a Sole Source procurement to Schilling Development Inc, 1632 Da Vinci Court, Davis, California 95616, for one Master Controller and one Resolver/Analog Card. These are replacements items for use with an existing teleoperated robotic Explosive Ordnance Disposal Manipulator System Model Titan II and is manufactured by Schilling Development Inc. The Master Controller and Analog Card must be compatible with existing electronics and hardware. The Master Controller contains an integral LCD display screen, function keys and master arm, which is a small kinematic replica of the remote manipulator. The master arm has the following controls: Master arm joints: The operator moves these joints to actuate movement of the corresponding slave arm joints. Freeze button: Pressing the freeze button freezes the slave arm in its current position. Wrist collar: The operator rotates the wrist collar to rotate the slave arm wrist. Jaw bands: The operator presses the forward jaw band to close the slave arm jaws, and aft jaw band to open them. Additionally, the Master Controller must accept four analog user inputs (+/- 5v range), and 18 discrete user inputs (0 to 5 VDC). The Master Controller is powered by 110 VAC. The Resolver/Analog Card is used to convert resolver input signals to digital signals that can be processed by the slave CPU, convert digital slave controller CPU signals into current that drives the slave arm servo valves, performs processing for an on-board velocity feed back loop, and also generates a dither signal that allows servo valves to function smoothly. The Resolver/Analog Card is powered by +/- 20 VDC. Required delivery is to be within 45 days after award of contract. Technical questions may be directed to TSgt Todd Dulle, (850) 882-1048.
