52 -- 3-D LASER TRACKER SYSTEM 2 EA SOL N68335-98-R-0316 DUE 091498 POC Ms. Mary O'Connor, (732) 323-2068 THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION for Commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (ii) This solicitation number N68335-98-R-0316 is issued as a competitive request for proposal (RFP). (iii) The solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-03. (iv) This solicitation is a small business set aside. SIC is 3728. (v) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS) are as follows: CLIN 0001 Laser Tracker. Two (2) each. Three copies for each unit of the operator's manuals and maintenance manuals shall be provided. (vi) The full system including hardware and software must be an existing off the shelf design. Prototypes and new developments will not be considered. The system must be demonstrated to meet the Government's minimum requirements and each proposed system must be technically reviewed by the Government for the system's suitability for its intended usage. The government's minimum requirements include: Required precision for a static measurement of a 3-D coordinate is to be within 0.002 inches (1o standard deviation) at a distance of 10 feet, and within 0.010 inches (1ostandard deviation) at a distance of 100 feet. For scanning speeds up to 4 m/s, the required precision for scanning measurements is to be within 0.005 inches (1o standard deviation) at a distance of 10 feet and within 0.025 inches(1o standard deviation) at a distance of 50 feet. Radial distance resolution must be within 2 microns. Maximum working range shall be 100 feet. Operating temperature range is from 45 Deg.F to 95 Deg.F . Operating humidity range from 10 to 90%(non-condensable). Portability: The system must be able to be transported to various sites without damage to the laser tracker system. Standard warranties with terms and conditions, documents, manuals and computer disks on all hardware and software items must be provided. Calibration procedures traceable to NIST must be provided along with information and prices for maintaining the measuring components calibrated. Laser tracker head must have a minimum travel range of 270 Deg. Horizontally and 90 Deg. Vertically. Max tracking speed shall be at least 4 m/s. Tracker control unit shall have temperature and pressure compensation for the laser. All cabling between the laser tracker and its components shall be provided. A notebook computer (Pentium Class), with the following: minimum of 32 MB RAM, Ethernet communications card, Battery charger, External ZIP Drive with 10 ZIP disks (min 100 MB capacity), Min of 4 Gigabytes hard drive, Trackball or other pointing devices, Capability to hook-up to an external full size color monitor, Remote control and carrying case, Uninterruptible power supply that will allow a min of 15 minutes operations during power outage. Protective shipping cases, lockable and able to accommodate the complete laser tracker system shall be provided. An industrial stand (unless it is integral with the tracker head) for tracker head must have a quick release mount for easy installation and removal of tracker head. The stand must be of heavy-duty construction so that the measurement precisions listed above are not jeopardized. In addition, the stand must be capable of height adjustments so as to allow for measurements of both top and bottom of propeller blades. This requirement is essential because of the effort required to flip a 100,000 lbs propeller to present the opposite side to the measurement system. The min height required for the tracker head to fit under shall be 20". An absolute distance measuring system is required to insure measurements can be resumed when the interferometer beam is interrupted without having to reestablish a home point. A means of obtaining feedback on deviations measured by the laser from the designed CAD surface shall be included. The feedback must be visual by pointing the laser at the points where the deviations occur. This important feature will allow propeller finishers to immediately find the area and rectify the deviations. Optical tooling shall have as a minimum: all calibration tools, mechanisms required to perform calibration, 2 ea. -- 1.5"diameter corner cube reflectors/spherical mounted reflectors with lanyard, 1 ea. surface probe/retroprobe with integral SMR along with four styli (2 zero offset with scribing points and 2 with 3 mm diameter ball), 10 ea. heavy duty magnetic nets for the 1.5" SMR's, 1 ea edge sphere mount, 1 ea shankless sphere mount for 1.5" diameter reflector, 5 ea 1.5" dia sphere mount with 0.25" shank, 1 ea probing target, straight on, 1 ea probing target, flush mount, Hidden point device consisting of BEX-3,BEX-5,BEX-10 and 5 HP or equal, 1 ea Theodolite 1.5" dia sphere, and 1 ea flush mount Theodolite target,. The following software is required; Windows 98/95 NT, MS office 98/97, Tracker control and operating software which provides real-time 3-D graphical representation of data and data analysis software which provides best-fit shapes, graphical and tabular comparison with existing CAD files, visual representation of deviation maps and physical feedback, i.e. laser pointing at deviations, virus scan software. The contractor shall provide training for 6 operators and data analysts for a period of no less than 10 days. Training shall include actual measurements on production parts which will constitute acceptance tests. The contractor shall provide training for two electronics mechanics and two mechanical mechanics for a period of no less than 3 days. (vii) All items shall be preserved, packaged, packed, and marked in accordance with best commercial practices. Delivery shall occur within 16 weeks after contract award. FOB Destination. Ship to: Norfolk Naval Shipyard Detachment, Naval Foundry and Propeller Center, Bldg 20, Code 991.3, Philadelphia Naval Business Center, Philadelphia, PA 19112.
