About this file

This document outlines requirements for a federal solicitation seeking three ink tackmeters. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing requires new three-roller tackmeters to measure the physical and rheological properties of various inks and materials used in currency and security printing. One tackmeter must test conventional non-UV inks with bottom rubber, central temperature-controlled metal, and top rubber rollers. A second must test UV inks with bottom polymeric, central temperature-controlled metal, and top polymeric rollers. Both must precisely measure tack in units from 0-600 and set time in seconds, with roller temperatures from 15-60 degrees Celsius. The tackmeters, cooling/heating systems, and software must be delivered and installed with automatic tool recognition, configuration, and dimensions suitable for benchtop use. The selected vendor will provide warranty, calibration certification, training, and meet performance requirements for durability, dimensions, voltage standards, and safety.
