1.0 Introduction / Background

NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) Applied Manufacturing Division (Code RM) requires a highly accurate 5-axis CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) milling machine needed for various Agency projects and programs supported by Code RM shops.

2.0 Scope

Code RM requires a high accuracy 5-axis vertical machining center with trunnion table A-axis and rotary C-axis. The 5-axis CNC milling machine must meet the minimum specifications listed in the technical requirements. This machine will be used at ARC in the Machining and

Instrumentation Branch (Code RMX) to support various projects and programs for the Agency.

The primary use of this equipment will be to produce complex metallic and nonmetallic components and hardware for spaceflight projects, Space Launch System (SLS), Artemis program, Orion capsule, BioSentinel, Dragonfly, Dragonfly Entry Aerosciences Measurements

(DrEAM), HyperSTEP, MERINO, wind tunnel models, aircraft hardware, and complex 3D surfacing models for testing and flight.

6 | P a g e

Coolant supply: Flood and thru-spindle coolant (TSC). TSC to be 500psi minimum pressure.

Coolant flow rate: Minimum 26 liters/min (7 gallon/min)

Capacity of coolant tank: Minimum 378 liters (100 gallons)

Central lubrication: Automatic grease supply unit for feed axes

Cabin: Fully protected cabin with roof light to provide optimum visibility of machine work envelope, and easy operator access. Spin window(s) (air or electrical type).

Crane access: Sliding roof or other accommodation to allow direct overhead crane access to the platter for loading and unloading parts and fixturing

Mist Collection: Oil and mist separator with mechanical filter system installed or prepared for collection system to be added later

User memory: Large capacity memory, 8gb minimum

Network connection: Ethernet and USB interface. Support for FTP server and remote machine monitoring

Thermal Displacement

Compensation (TDC): Minimum to be spindle TDC

5 Axis Milling Support Features: Tool center point control, tilting working plane command, 3-Dimensional cutter compensation, work setting error compensation, inverse time feed (G93), tool posture control, 3-Dimensional rotary error compensation

CNC simulation: Native support for CAMplete TruePath post and simulation tool. 1 to 1 collision detection by verification of posted g-code and optimization of programs through analysis of posted g-code.

7 | P a g e

Machining graphics: On screen simulation of toolpaths as well as operation status monitoring, project, and tool management.

Machining time: Display of current and remaining machining time in automatic operating mode.

Installation: Standard factory machine installation (leveling, calibration, operation check). The facility the machine will be installed in has a 6in thick slab. Provide details on foundation requirements if needed.

4.0 Quality Assuarance

The Contractor shall provide a Certificate of Conformance per the attached QR-005-Certificate of Conformance requirements document. Documentation shall be required for traceability, accountability, and a historical record of design, testing, inspection, qualification, and acceptance of all materials and components.

4.1 Suppliers: The Contractor shall be responsible for Quality Assurance of vendors, suppliers, and subcontractors providing services under this contract to verify compliance with QR-005-

Certificate of Conformance requirements document.

8 | P a g e

4.3 Inspection/Acceptance: The Contractor shall only tender for acceptance those items that conform to the requirements of this contract. The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. The Government may require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies or reperformance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract price. If repair/replacement or reperformance will not correct the defects or is not possible, the Government may seek an equitable price reduction or adequate consideration for acceptance of nonconforming supplies or services (“Non-Conformance” is defined as a condition of any article, material, or service in which one or more characteristics do not conform to the specified requirements. This includes failures, discrepancies, deficiencies, defects, anomalies, and malfunctions). The Government must exercise its post acceptance rights—

(1) Within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered; and

(2) Before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item, unless the change is due to the defect in the item.

4.4 Warranties: The Contractor shall include a “Machine Tool Warranty” which comprises a 1-year full machine warranty and a 2-year spindle warranty minimum. The Contractor shall maintain internal records of the warranty program, which shall be available for review by
