- Description
- Revised Specifications for Solicitation SB1341-09-RQ-0442 The purpose of this amendment is threefold: 1.to amend the minimum specifications. Please see attachment SB134109RQ0442revisedspecs.doc. Changes are shown in red font. 2.to extend the closing date of the solicitation. The closing date is hereby extended to 3:00 pm Eastern time on Thursday, September 3, 2009. 3.to answer questions posed by a potential quoter. QUESTIONS: Q1. Is the XY stage oriented as if it were mounted on a wall? And if so, can we assume the X axis travel is horizontal and the Y axis travel is vertical? The posted answer from question 1 below appears to say so. This goes to recognizing whether a brake or other device may be necessary for a vertical axis. A1. The XY stage is oriented as if it were mounted on a wall. X will nominally be the horizontal axis, Y will nominally be the gravity/vertical axis. Q2. What is the operating orientation of the Load Bearing Stage? As if it were on the ground? Or on a wall? A2. The load bearing stage will rest on the ground, with the force of gravity perpendicular to the travel. Q3. The load for the Load Bearing Stage is described as “… a gravity load perpendicular to the plane of travel and will be offset”. If the center of mass of the load is offset from the center of mass of the stage, what is the size of the offset, and in which direction is the offset. This goes to calculating moment loads and how they might affect precision. A3. Please review the revised specifications. Q4. Is there a mechanical connection between the XY stage and Load Bearing Stage? The description of the three major components at the beginning of the solicitation includes “… Linear stage capable of carrying load of X-Y stage” but I can find no reference to a particular relationship between these components. A4. Please review the revised specifications. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged and in full effect.
