Please see attached Request for Quote for the Motoman 6-axis Robotic Manufacturing Cell. Please note that all of Section J Attachments to the RFQ are included in this posting. It is requested that a quote is be returned by 4 PM est on 28 August 2020.
Please review attached notice for all vendors, that the Government intends to include the provision FAR 52.204-21 and the clause at FAR 52.204-25 in all contracts, task orders, delivery orders. The purpose of the letter is to implement the Section 889(a)(1)(B) Prohibition on Contracting with Entities Using Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment Clauses.
Please see below some questions and answers regarding the RFQ:
1. You indicate 3 additional external motors. Are these motors for the 3 Axis robot positioner?
Answer: We require a minimum of three (3) input and three (3) out controls for external devices/machines/peripherals.
2. You mention a Schunk End Effector package. Can you let us know what the tooling will be handling? Size, weight, configuration etc.?
Answer: The contractor shall deliver a Schunk End Effector Package that includes standard tools for various operation. (i.e. different operations need different shapes.)
3. On the 3 Axis Robot positioner. Are you moving the 6-axis robot arm with this? If so, I assume this is an overhead gantry type configuration. Please confirm. 6 axis robot is on gantry
Answer: Yes. 6- axis robot with overhead configuration.
4. Do you have any tolerances or specification requirement for the Renishaw CMM package?
Answer: No just standard tolerances tables will be bolted too floor.
5. The application included additive manufacturing. Is this a welding additive system? Welding is an additive but is not a standard IE settings for PLA. If so, what welding system are you using?
Answer: Not using any welding machine only part move printer to printer or finish, place or rotate for inspection or completion.
