- Description
- Package Name: �Lens Imaging System This Sources Sought/ Request for Information (RFI) notice is being posted In Accordance With (IAW) DFARS 206.302-1(d). -The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Division has a requirement to procure a Lens Imaging System. This RFI is issued as part of a procurement strategy for the Lens Imaging System.� The total buy is summarized below: Lens Focusing Table: This purchase is to replace our existing system, which includes the following items: A DOS based computer with EZ-EROS Software, an eight-inch EROS collimator beam fold source mirror, EROS visible object generator, EROS image analyzer with motion stages, EROS beam steering mirror and test lens holder, and the EROS control rack. The system must provide accurate and repeatable measurements for lenses and optical systems. The system should include a collimating mirror, an object image projector, a linear and rotary stage, and a system to interpret the resultant light object. Optical image to electronic image and additional software should be included to allow for data acquisition and analysis. A Windows 11 computer to run appropriate software should be included in the package. This system should allow for back focal length and flange measurements. The lab is involved with using the infinite conjugate testing to produce a best focus of a complex lens system. For the aforementioned testing, a high resolution and image quality is paramount.�� This system needs to be capable of handling lenses as large as six inches in diameter and 10+kg. Since the lenses we work with are abnormally large, we need a large dynamic stage that can transport the lens at least three feet along the beam path. The system should also have a linear encoder, which enables long flange and back focal length measurements. The reflective parabolic collimator must be included with a clear aperture size of at least 230mm. The object generator should allow for customization of the image and image color. The image analyzer should include a manual viewing channel as well as a video image analyzer. The imaging stage should have a travel of at least 50mm in all directions. More specifications are tabulated in the following: MTF (Modular transfer function) Accuracy:� �� 0.02 MTF Repeatability:� �� 0.01 Angular FOV in Object Space:� �� 150� full field Spectral Ranges:� �Visible (0.4 � 0.7?m) Image Space Resolution:� �0 � 500lp/mm EFL (Effective focal Length) Accuracy:� �? 0.2% EFL (Effective focal Length) Repeatability:� �? 0.1% Lens Under Test Weight Capability:� �10+ kg Lens Under Test Diameter Accommodations:� �6 inches Parabolic Collimator:� �230mm Diameter Automated Positioning Accuracy:� �1?m (0-100mm travel) 7.2 secs of arc (360� rotation) Resolution:� �0.1?m (0-100mm travel) 0.4secs of arc (360� rotation) Speed Range:� �0.1?m/s to 100mm/s Maximum Travel:� �1000mm RESPONSES Requested Information Section 1 of the response shall provide administrative information and shall include the following as a minimum. Organization name, mailing address, overnight delivery address (if different from mailing address), phone number, fax number, and name and e-mail of designated point of contact.
