Description

Air Force Institute of Technology intends to procure an MTS TestStar IIm Dual Channel Controller System to measure ceramic, metal matrix composite, and fretting tests for the Material Testing Facility. Specifications for the unit are as follows: The model 493.10 chassis provides digital servo control, funcion generation, data acquisition, hydraulic control, and digital I/O for up to 8 control channels and 4 independent stations. The system requires the TestStar IIm floor standing encloser, remote station control panel with local acuator, hydraulic control, and load limit displacement to control safe specimen loading and removal. The system includes computer control of range, transducer zero, excitation, and filter, traceable calibration of each range, shunt calibration for 100% range, strain gage bridge completion, excitation loss detection, and computer controlled limit detection. System has 2-stage servo valves to support dual MTS Model 252 servovalves, control dither amplitude and frequency, digitally control fault protection logic, and 16 bit resolution on valve D/A. System includes GRES III module, RS485 serial tansition module, temperature and remote station controls. System requires transducer calibrations of 2 ranges each, AdapTrac (TM) Amplitude Phase Control, and supports 16 digital outputs. AdapTrac Phase Control adapts the algorithm for sinusoidal waveforms in linear systems and adjusts the the aplitude and phase to the desired feedback signal. This requirement will be awarded sole source to MTS Systems Corporation due to compatibility and interchangeability with components already in place. No RFQs or RFPs will be issued other than this notice. All offerors interested in submitting a quote must fax their proposal to Mary Piper, (937)257-3926 NLT 4 Dec 01 in order to be considered. Only facsimile proposals sent to the above number will be considered. If there are any questions, please contact Mary Piper at (937) 257-6146, ext 4222.
