PC Board Milling Machine

The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command seeks one printed circuit board milling machine in accordance with solicitation FA301026Q0031 and Attachment 1 Salient Characteristics, with proposals due August 24 at 10:00 A.M. Central Standard Time. Amendment 1, posted August 18, accelerated the proposal due date from September 24 to August 24.

Place of performance is Biloxi, Mississippi. Delivery is required by September 1, 2026 to 81 Training Group TSRB at Keesler Air Force Base. The machine must achieve a milling spindle speed of at least 60,000 RPM to process structures down to 100 micrometers, with mechanical resolution of minimum 0.47 micrometers in X/Y axes and 0.2 micrometers in Z axis. Repeatability and precision tolerance must be 5 micrometers. The system must include a fully automatic tool change mechanism capable of holding and cycling a minimum of 15 tools simultaneously, sensor-controlled automatic milling depth and width adjustment, and an integrated camera system for automatic optical fiducial recognition and board alignment. The machine must process boards up to 305 mm x 229 mm x 8 mm and accommodate substrates up to 330 mm x 250 mm x 26 mm. The machine base must be constructed of heavy granite or equivalent high-density, vibration-dampening material. Equipment must include an integrated vacuum table system for workholding and either include or accept a solder paste dispensing unit. CAM software must import standard CAD data and manage material parameter libraries. The spindle and milling depth sensor must feature pneumatic self-cleaning functionality.
