Cold Neutron Imaging Instrument/Source Grading Co-bot

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify potential sources of commercial products or services that can satisfy their anticipated needs for a Cold Neutron Imaging Instrument/Source Grading Co-bot. The co-bot should have specific technical specifications, including vertical translation, a reach of at least 800 mm, at least 6 degrees of freedom, and repeatability of less than or equal to 0.04 mm. NIST is seeking information from manufacturers capable of meeting these needs. Respondents should provide information about their company, the equipment they sell, technical specifications, and any additional relevant details. • The co-bot should be capable of moving a payload of at least 3 kg. • The co-bot should have a controller and software to program movement. • The co-bot should be supplied with a software development kit compatible with C#, C, C++. • Respondents should describe performance capabilities of the product and any additional features that could assist NIST in meeting its objectives. • Respondents should discuss whether the equipment can be customized to specifications and indicate any limits to customization.
