QUALITY ASSURANCE.

Responsibility for Inspection. The contractor shall be responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements specified herein and in accordance with the attached Quality Assurance Provision (QAP). Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor may use his own facility for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to witness any inspections set forth in the purchase description where such inspections are deemed necessary to assure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements.

Responsibility for Compliance. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring all items meet the requirements of sections 3 and 4.

Classification of Inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as follows:

a. Contract quality assurance inspection (Origin) (see 4.4).

b. Final Inspection/Acceptance test (Destination) (see 4.5).

Inspection Conditions. All inspections, tests, and examinations shall be performed in an indoor facility with ambient temperature conditions in the range of 55° F to 100° F and 10% to 95% relative humidity.

Contract Quality Assurance Inspection (Origin). Contract quality assurance inspection shall be applied at the contractor’s facility prior to being offered for acceptance under the contract. The machine and all peripheral equipment added to the machine shall be fully assembled and perform all functions in accordance with this specification. Quality conformance inspection shall consist of the examination in 4.6 and the tests in 4.7. The machine shall pass the examination, all tests, and contract quality assurance inspection to be acceptable for shipment.

Final Inspection/Acceptance Test (Destination). Final Inspection and acceptance test shall be performed on the machine to ensure conformance with this purchase description.

The acceptance test shall be performed only after the machine is installed at its final location. The acceptance test shall consist of the examination in 4.6 and all tests in 4.7. The machine shall pass the examination and all tests to be accepted.

Examination. The equipment shall be examined for design, dimensions, construction, materials, components, electrical equipment and workmanship to determine compliance with the requirements of this specification.

Tests. Unless otherwise specified within this document, all programs, instruments, materials, material handling equipment, qualified personnel, and tools required to perform and evaluate the tests shall be furnished by the contractor. All measurement tools and indicating devices shall be calibrated in accordance with the attached QAP. If a malfunction occurs during the test, the test shall be restarted each time until all tests in 4.7 are completed without a malfunction. Three (3) consecutive failures without completion of the test may be considered cause for rejection of the system. For the purpose of this test, a “failure” is defined as any equipment malfunction which requires remedial action to restore the system to full operation in accordance with this specification.

Alignment and Accuracy Tests. Tests shall be conducted to ensure the machine meets the alignment and accuracy tolerances specified in paragraph 3.5, Table II. The machine repeatability and accuracy shall be checked.

Operational Test. The machine shall be operated under CNC at no-load for not less than four (4) hours. During operational testing proper operation of all control functions, machine response to commands, proper operation of motors, adjusting mechanisms, and auxiliary functions shall be checked. The machine shall be run in each mode of operation (Manual and Automatic) to test the machine’s response to command data. Three (3) failures in a row to complete the run test may be cause for rejection of the entire system.

After successful completion of the operational test, proper operation of all controls, motors, adjusting mechanisms, over-travel limits (programmed stops and hard stops), emergency stop devices, and accessories shall be verified. The safety limit stops shall be checked by attempting to exceed the limits of travel of each moving axis.

Performance Tests.

Performance Test Origin. The test at origin shall produce a part using the full depth of the machines forming capabilities. These parts will contain several compound angles, slots, and concave and convex regions. The approved Test Plan in shall be used for this test (see Paragraph 3.7.5). The contractor shall provide the tooling to demonstrate the capabilities specified above
