66 -- LASER TRACKING SYSTEM SOL F40650-95-B-0080 DUE 090895 POC Tony Clayborne, Contracting Officer, (615)454-5174. This requirement is for a laser tracking system and miscellaneous items. The laser tracking system shall be; single beam, self contained, portable laser system capable of taking measurements by tracking a remote target and expressing the results in cartesian coordinates rleative to a part coordinate system established by setting zero in each axis of the laser system relative to the desired coordinate system. System must be accurate within plus or minus .0035 inches in each axis independently to a distance of 30 feet. Linear accuracy will be verified by a H-P 5526 laser system, volumetric accuracy will be verified by ball-bar. System must repeat X, Y, Z coordinates within plus or minus .0015 inch at a distance of 20 feet. The system shall be a Chesapeake Model # LTI-4000 or equal and meet the following salient characteristics: Horizontal angle of working range, 270 degrees or greater; Vertical angle of working range, plus or minus 45 degrees; Internal automatic leveling, the system must include an internal automatic leveling device to align the system to the local gravity vector within 1 arc second; Resolution - radial 2.5 microns, angular 1 arc-second; Tracking speed - 2 meters per second at a range greater than 3 meters; Precision 2-axis servo-controlled tracking laser interferometer; Remote power unit; Standard optical mounting fixture with 3.5'' X 8'' TPI threads; Automatic temperature and barometric pressure compensation; One spherically mounted retroreflector target; IBM compatible 486 PC, MS-DOS operating system with PC based measurement software, 14: color super VGA monitor, keyboard mouse and printer, PC must have slots for both 3.5'' and 25'' disks; Software menu driven icons that work with keyboard or mouse that include measurement routines to define circles, lines, planes, cylinders, bolt circles, cones and spheres and parallelism, angularity and perpindicularity; Software capability to display and print coordiantes of a target location; Software capability to take data continuously along a curved surface with data points sent to files by the computer at specified intervals along any one of the three axes; Software capability to translate data from center of target to actual part surface with true representation of the data in the part coordinate system; Software form and measurement evaluation in accordance with ANSI Y14.5M Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerencing. Miscellaneous items include the following: Sperically mounted target - retroreflector; 1.500'' diameter tooling ball with hollow cornercube mounted within .0005'' of center. Magnetic target nest - for use with spherically mounted retroreflector target with a .250'' diameter pin. Mobile work station - portable unit with castors; will accomadate pc, monitor, keyboard, remote power unit, uninterruptible power supply, tooling and printer. Ininterruptible power supply - 1250 va; sine wave output; 4 X 115 vac receptacles. Operating and Maintenance manuals - provide detailed instructions for the operation and use of the system including software and shall include schematics down to and including the pc-board level. Three days on-site training - three days of instruction in the application and use of the system to be conducted at Arnold AFB TN. The performance period will be 90 calendar days after contractor receipt of notification of contract award. Any responsible source may submit a bid which shall be considered. Firms responding to this synopsis should do so in writing and indicate whether they are a minority business concern. Foreign participation is authorized. (0205)
