Description
NASA Glenn Research Center requires an Instron System Retrofit Upgrade Package to modernize its existing Instron 5584 Electromechanical Universal Testing System. The effort includes delivering a 6800‑Series hardware retrofit kit, updating Bluehill Universal software licenses, on‑site installation, verification of load‑cell and displacement performance per ASTM standards, and providing training and warranty support. The contractor must complete all work within eight weeks after order receipt, and the upgrade will be performed at the GRC facility in Cleveland, Ohio.
• Provide 6800‑Series hardware retrofit kit sized for 150‑200 kN capacity machines, including sensor‑conditioner cards and a NEMA L6‑20P power plug.
• Transfer and install Bluehill Universal software and licenses on a NASA‑supplied computer, with additional modules (General, Components, TestProfiler).
• Perform on‑site installation, calibration (ASTM E2658, E2309), training, and integrate the system with NASA‑provided hardware, delivering warranty services.
