STATEMENT OF WORK

MTS PLANAR BIAXIAL CONTROLLER

01 FEB 2018

GENERAL

Across the lab at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), there are 18 MTS test frames of various sizes, configurations and complexity. All operate on a proprietary software, TestSuite 793, designed by MTS. The MTS Planar Biaxial Load Frame is one of these systems; it consist of a load frame, a controller and a computer loaded with Test Suites / 793 software. The three parts integrate to provide a properly matched system; all aspect of the load frame, software and controller are fully operational.

Figure 1: Load frame and Controller

This specification is for a MTS FlexTest 60 controller system to operate our current MTS Planar Biaxial Load Frame for a Firm-Fixed Price contract.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

The FlexTest 60 controller shall incorporate the following software and hardware capabilities for the proper control of the MTS Planar Biaxial Load Frame:

1. The FlexTest 60 shall be delivered including all cables and configuration needed for installation on an existing MTS Planar Biaxial Load Frame.

2. This Controller shall include the following communication interfaces:

a. 4 x Valve Driver and Digital Universal Controller (DUC) combination

b. 2 x Dual DUC's

c. 2 x Analog Input, 2x Analog Output (support cables included)

d. 1 x Dual UART / Encoder Interface

e. 4 x Input/Output Carrier Modules

f. Transition Modules: 1 HSM, 2 x Analog Input, 2 x Analog Output

g. 2 x A/D Board with 8 channels each (+/- 10VDC signals)

3. This Controller shall be able to control all aspects and ability of the MTS Planar Biaxial

Load Frame. This controller shall support the following software and hardware signal conditioning interfaces:

a. Software: Control of range, transducer zero, excitation voltage, excitation frequency, and filter characteristics

b. Computer system to interface with controller, shall be WIN10 64 Bit operating system, 8GB or greater, 1TB HDD or greater with 30-36”1080 dpi monitor.

c. Shall have the following MTS 793 Software with the following additional capabilities: Calculations, Amplitude Control, Peak Valley Control, MPT, Profile Editor, Cascade Control, MPT Variables, Reporter, HCF, Fatigue Analyzer, MP Elite, and DCPD.

d. A handset controller providing the ability to adjust actuators, auto-offset signals, start and stop tests, and the ability to turn hydraulics on or off.

4. All necessary hardware interfaces (i.e. cables, etc.) shall be provided by the vendor for proper operation of the system.

TESTING AND TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

Vendor shall install controller onsite and configure load frame, computer and controller to demonstrate full operational capacity of equipment to AFIT personnel. Vendor shall calibrate all associated equipment of the load frame, load cells, and Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT). Calibration certificates for these items will be provided. These certifications will be used for validation of system performance and technical acceptance.

The contractor shall provide operations and installation training at the customer’s facility within 1 week of installation or at the convenience of the customer. Contractor shall demonstrate that all components are functioning correctly. Contractor shall label all components, with part/model numbers and serial numbers, as necessary, to coincide with documentation and graphical interface.

Labels shall be compatible with the intended environment and permanent. Engraving/etching, metallic data plates, or similar are considered appropriate.

The vendor shall provide 3-5 days user training on the full operational control capability of the software and hardware associated with this controller by capable and qualified training personnel. All software and hardware associated with the training shall be made available in hard and electronic copies for historical purposes.

SAFETY

Safety systems shall be included to prevent damage to equipment and personnel in accordance with ANSI B11.2-2013 - Safety Requirements for Hydraulic and Pneumatic Power Presses.

Warning labels on the equipment and documentation shall be included.

DELIVERY

The company shall properly ship the system to the Air Force Institute of Technology at WPAFB, OH.

All shipping costs to include insurance shall be included in contractor’s proposal. Great care using standard, approved packaging methods shall be taken. Vendor shall uncrate and install all supplied equipment for this purchase. Delivery of the controller and installation shall be within 95 days of approved purchase.

WARRANTY

Free from defects in material and workmanship, under normal and proper use for the period of time of one year after receipt.

PAYMENT

100% payment after delivery.

DELIVERY PROCEDURES COMMERCIAL VEHICLES (FEB 2016)

All vehicles larger than a large pick-up truck are required to be inspected by the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Commercial Vehicle Delivery Gate (CVDG) prior to entering the installation. Vehicles to be inspected include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Step van/panel truck

2. Tractor/trailer, box and flat bed containing cargo

3. Tanker trucks

4. Box trucks

5. Tour buses

6. Garbage/recycled waste trucks

7. Concrete trucks/mixers, dump trucks

8. Cranes, recreational vehicles, petroleum tanker

This inspection will be conducted at Gate 16A located off State Route 444.

The following are exemptions to vehicles utilizing the CVDG:

1. If the vehicle has the product inside (concrete and asphalt trucks) and timely delivery is necessary due to product deterioration it does not need to enter the CVDG. To bypass the CVDG, the contractor shall submit a list containing drivers’ names, social security numbers and the state in which the driver's license is held for those drivers who will be entering the base. This shall be accomplished 24 hours prior to requested entry time. If entry is requested on Monday, this list must be submitted by Friday at 1630 hours. All lists shall be submitted to the 88th ABW/CE Directorate contract inspector.

The only gates that may be used under this exemption shall be 15A, 26A, 38A, and gate 1B. If the driver's name is not on the list, he/she will not be allowed access to the installation through these gates and the base will not assume liability for denied access.

2. If a delivery vehicle must exit, and then re-enter the base to complete its route, the vehicle shall be resealed upon exiting the base. After initially passing through the commercial vehicle delivery gate, trucks shall be resealed at Gates 15A, 38A and 22B. The resealing of the trucks will allow them to continue to any other area of the installation (Areas A, B, or Kittyhawk) without reprocessing through the CVDG. To receive resealing assistance, the drivers shall physically stop at one of the three authorized gates and request the installation entry controller to reseal their truck and provide the next location of their delivery. The controller will reseal the truck and give the delivery driver a pre-clearance form. The driver shall present the pre-clearance form to the entry controller at the next point of installation entry. This reentry can be through any base gate.

Vehicles may be subject to an inspection at any of installation entry control points during a directed random antiterrorism measure (RAM.) Any commercial vehicle, regardless of size, can be directed to the CVDG at the discretion of the installation entry controller.
