STATEMENT OF WORK (SERVICES)

(SOW)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Title of Project:

The National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS) is in need of a TOX21 Lab robotic arm upgrade to hardware and software.

Statement of Need and Purpose:

The purpose of this procurement is to supply our Automation team in the Tox21 lab’s Staubli robotic arm/robot controller/code update work to make our daily protocols more efficient.

Background Information and Objective:

A key component of the scientific mission of NCATS is running high throughput screens (HTS) with the end goal being drug development or profiling compounds for their toxicity. Running these screens requires extensive automation, with a critical component of these automated systems being the robots that are used to move plates from one destination to another. The primary screening system at NCATS currently has 3 Staubli RX160L 6-axis robotic arms to perform these plate movement tasks. The current Tox21 robotic arm is from 2010 and will soon be unserviceable by Staubli, the OEM.

This requirement will upgrade the TOX21 Staubli robot System at NCATS from CS8/RX-160L to the newer CS9/TX2-160L platform. As part of this scope of work the robot program will be upgraded to work with the CS9 controller setup, a new driver will be added to integrate the robot software to the Director scheduling software, and the Director scheduling software itself will be upgraded to Director™ 7.

The new TX160L offers ways to allow us to work collaboratively with the arm (use equipment safely in an offline capacity while system is running as an example).

Period of Performance:

Six months
