Issue Description and/or Question/Recommendation

Government Response

1 SOW 2.5

What materials will the end user be cutting and how thick will the materials be that they will be cutting?

We cut aluminum, stainless steel, black iron, wood, plexiglass, etc. They have to meet the thickness for stainless steel and mild steel mentioned in the SOW.

2 N/A N/A Any interest in Portable Laser Welding and Etching Systems? This is laser cutter is for industrial use. We are only interested in a laser cutter – no other products.

3 SOW 2.2

Can you tell me what the requirement is for size, what work area is required?

No height requirement for the equipment, but the table or bed size must meet the spec listed in the SOW. The table/bed must be flat.

4 SOW 2.15 and 2.18 Do you require a Dust and Fume Extraction Unit? Yes. See requirements at 2.15 & 2.18. No venting to outside is required due to use of required HEPA filters

5 SOW 2.5

Do you have any requirements for material and thickness cutting requirements?

Yes. See updated SOW for stainless steel and mild steel requirements. No exception.

Do you require an automatic dual shuttle table which allow load/unload while other table is processing?

I assume your equipment can cut two sheets of metal at once. I need a ball transfer load station to help me load and unload (1 job) heavy stainless steel for example. I don't need two sheets to be processed at the same time.

Short answer, no.
