49 -- RETROFITTING CNC MACHINES SOL RFO2-36264(PBH) DUE 062095 POC P. Hudson, Telephone 415/604-1343, e-mail address to Patricia_ Hudson@qmgate.arc.nasa.gov This solicitation is for retrofitting nine Computerized Numer ical Control (CNC) Machines in the Model Machining and Contract Fabrication Branch, Bldg. 220 at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA. The retrofitting will be accomplished on the following machines and will include new standardized controllers: (1) Cincinnati-Hydrotel Three-Axis Contouring Milling Machine, (2) Brown and Sharp Three-Axis Contouring Milling Machine, (3) Cin cinnati-Cintimatic Two-Axis Milling Machine, (4) Cincinnati- Milacron Five-Axis Contouring Milling Machine, (5) Bostomatic Four-Axis Contouring Milling Machine, (6) Cincinnati-Gilbert Four-Axis Horizontal Boring Machine, (7) Concinnati-Cintimatic Three-Axis Milling Machine, (8) Miltronics Partner V Three-Axis Milling Machine, (9) Leblond Makino Three-Axis Die Sinker EDM Machine. All hardware must be constructed to accurately machine a variety of materials including but not limited to: aluminum alloys, titanium, copper, various materials such as wood, plastics and composites. The retrofitting shall be designed, fabricated, and installed to perform heavy duty machining opera tions. Appropriate seals shall be used to prevent machining chips, coolants, and dust from contaminating the electrical and/or hydraulic motors, valves, controls, bearings, sliding surfaces, ancoders, and scales. All connecting hardware, pneumatic and/or hydraulic hoses, electrical cables, and control interface hardware and software shall be included. The CNC Retrofits shall be delivered as turnkey systems that is designed, fabricated, installed and fully operational. This contract will be for a one year base period with two one year options. It is anticipated the contract award will be fixed price. The estimated award will be late September of 1995. All responsible sources may submit a bid which shall be considered by the Agency.
