a. 12 + 1 thermocouples;

b. 8 analog input;

c. 2 analog output;

d. 32 discrete out; and

e. 16 discrete in.

2.How many thermocouples will be measured and recorded? 13 (12 part & 1 oven)
a. What type? Do we need to provide these? Type J standard plug
b. What type of jack fields are available? Do we need to provide these? 12 plug

jack, yes, if condition and/or level of work warrants changing

c. Do specific thermocouples need to be tracked for usage? TC’s assigned to part during cure

3.How many vacuum ports will be measured and recorded? 5
a. Are transducers required? Do we need to provide these? Yes and yes
b. How many solenoid valves per port? 2 (vacuum, vent, block)
c. What type? (ex. 120VAC, 24VDC) Do we need to provide these? Bypass

valves, lines and accumulator tank also required

4. Is Variable Vacuum Control required during recipe management? Yes

5. Please define the number of digital inputs and outputs required. As required for 12 TC and 5 vacuum lines (vacuum, vent, block), plus equipment startup and shutdown

6.If plumbing or electrical re-configuration is required, will there be AF personnel available to assist? AF electrician available to route additional power to oven
a. Do we need to provide Electricians and Plumbers? Yes

7. Is Dynamic Tuning or Superheating required? Dynamic tuning

8. What is the oven heat source and what type of control is required? (Ex. 4-20ma, 0-10VDC, on-off)

17. Describe any non-factory modifications to the oven? None

18. What is the delivery schedule? Negotiable until 1-Sep-17

19. Please provide a typical cure recipe. Heat part at 4 °F/min +/- 2 °F/min from 70 °F to 250 °F with a part delta not to exceed 30 °F. Hold for 2 hrs at 250 °F when minimum part TC is greater than 240 °F with a part delta not to exceed 20 °F. Cool at °4 F/min +/- 2 °F/min to less than 125 °F. Vacuum starts at 25 “Hg +/- 2 “Hg and held constant throughout the run.
