NA LASER COMFORMAL COATING REMOVAL SYSTEM The system shall be used for the removal of conformal coating on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) in preparation for testing of those boards on a bed-of-nails tester. The Laser System will be used in a maintenance environment, not a production environment; th erefore, a conveyor or other automated feed system is not required. Only one system is required; Tobyhanna Army Depot does not at this time anticipate any follow-on orders. The contractor shall be required to provide: the complete system FOB Destination, T obyhanna Army Depot; set-up the system; perform Acceptance Testing; provide Documentation to include operator and maintenance manuals; provide operator training on-site; and provide a one-year (minimum) complete system warranty. The system shall comply/be compatible with: 21CFR1040.10; OSHA 29 CFR 1910.212; American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z136.1- 1993, American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers; National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) NFPA 79-1987 Electrical Standards for Industrial Machinery; Surface Mount Electronic Manufacturers Association (SMEMA); and all applicable Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) applicable regulations. The laser shall remove the conformal co ating without causing damage to the board, the solder mask, or any other component of the board. The system must include the following: A. CONFORMAL COATING REMOVAL LASER SYSTEM 1. Removal of Conformal Coating shall be accomplished per Laser ablation without use of abrasive materials. 2. CONFORMAL COATINGS TO BE REMOVED: Epoxy, Silicone, Polyurethane, and Parylene. 3. SYSTEM COOLING shall be accomplished using a closed loop cooling system. 4. MINIMUM ACCURACY: + .004 inches to -.005 inches. 5. CENTER TO CENTER: .025 inches. 6. HOLE SIZE: .012 inches to .079 inches, programmable in increments of .001 inches. 7. HOLE TOLERANCE: The machine shall be capable of removing a minimum area of conformal coat, opening an aperture, which measures .020 inches (+0 inches/ -.010 inches) in diameter without physical damage to the underlying metal. System will not cause abrasive damage to circuit board. Hole profile shall be free from gross undercuts and over-cuts for improved test pin fit. 8. PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD SIZES: 3.5 inches W by 3.5 inches L to 16 inches W by 18 inches L. The maximum working area which the laser must access is 15 inches by 17 inches. 9. Z AXIS: capability to clear 2 inch above the board and 2 inches below the board. 10. The system enclosure shall be adequate and appropriate to provide protection for the operator and all personnel and equipment outside the enclosure. 11. FUME RECOVERY SYSTEM: Shall be integrated with the laser ablation system. 12. The system must fit through a door opening of 82 inches high and 71 inches wide. Maximum floor space for the frame and base is 75 inches length, 69 inches width, and 79 inches height. B. OPERATING SYSTEM: 1. The system shall have a PC, Flat Screen Monitor, and Keyboard. 2. The system shall be Windows NT Software compatible. 3. The system must translate Excellon drill files developed by Agilent 3070 tester (TX. DRL FILE) which will be used to control laser. 4. There shall be an easy means to locate and zero the circuit card being cleaned 5. The cleaning cycle should be able to be repeated until the board is cleaned without re-zeroing. 6. Program should have two levels, operator area and program area, password protected. 7. The system shall have the capability to restrict laser travel through designated areas. 8. Operator should be able to adjust burn time. 9. The system shall be capable of operation in the manual mode. 10. System will be capable of marking up to 225 characters/second. 11. The system shall have the capability of addressing 400 targets per 30 seconds. The system is determined to be a commercial item in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.101(b), - Commercial item; and, subsequently, this acquisition will be pursued in accordance with FAR Parts 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, and, per FAR 13.5, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items, and Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
