About this file
This document outlines the salient characteristics for a water jet cutter solicitation. The Fabrication Flight at Altus Air Force Base requires a device to cut materials up to 12 inches thick such as steel, aluminum, plexiglass, honeycomb, foam and composites. The current circular saw has limited 3 inch capacity. The solicitation seeks a water jet cutter meeting specified requirements including 480 VAC power, 60,000 PSI cutting pressure, 50 horsepower pump motor, .016 inch orifice and 1.20 GPM flow rate, 15' 2" x 8' 10" footprint, 8'3" x 4'6" minimum bed, 400 pound per square foot load capacity, 180 inches per minute cutting speed, less than 80 dB noise level, 0.0015 inch linear and repeat accuracy, 0.003 inch ballbar circularity, 8' 4" x 4' 7" travel, 7.5 inch Z axis travel, and ability to cut aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, titanium, tool steel, brass, carbon fiber, fiberglass, Kevlar and phenolic. The solicitation also requires five days of training by a factory technician.
