Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking a laser tracker metrology system to support the development of AI-enabled robotic assembly solutions for manufacturing. The system must meet specific technical requirements, including the use of 3D interferometer laser technology, a 20m diameter measurement range, and an accuracy of 15μm or 0.7μm/m. The system must also include onboard environmental compensation, be compatible with 6 Degree of Freedom active target tracking, and come with software capable of remote instrumentation control, automated data collection, geometric analysis, and 3D visualizations. The system must be portable and come with a protective carrying case. The contractor must provide a firm fixed price quotation for the system, including all necessary hardware, software, and accessories.
Key features and requirements of the project include:
• A portable laser tracker system capable of high-accuracy coordinate measurement
• A 20m diameter measurement range and an accuracy of 15μm or 0.7μm/m
• Onboard environmental compensation and compatibility with 6 Degree of Freedom active target tracking
• Software capable of remote instrumentation control, automated data collection, geometric analysis, and 3D visualizations
• A protective carrying case and all necessary power cables, control cables, and ethernet cords
• A factory calibration certificate and a system operating manual in downloadable digital format
