Robotic Arms

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information about robotic arms with end-effectors, linear stage, software, and programming. The robotic arms will be used to pick and place coupons for the manufacturing of complex permittivity standards to 330 GHz. The minimum requirements include four collaborative robotic arms with 600 mm reach, teaching pendants, and electronic stops, as well as various grippers and a smart camera. • The robotic arms must have a reach of more than 600 mm and a repeatability of ±0.02 mm. • The smart camera must have a working range of 70 mm to 1500 mm and a resolution of 1,280 px x 1,024 px. • The grippers must be able to handle maximum loads of 700 g and 200 g for the parallel and soft grippers, respectively. • The robotic arms and accessories must include a 1-year warranty with maintenance.
