ORNL is requesting a quote for the same or domestic equivalent of a Carbon Fiber Cutting System with the below specifications and technical capabilities. FAR 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal applies.
Key custom features include:
Custom-built to ORNL-s roll/core specs
o Unwind (mother roll) core ID 10”, cardboard core, ~12” wide roll.
o Rewind (product) core ID 3” on a custom aluminum spool, ~11” wide, with notched/keyway ends (machine must accept/drive/locate this spool correctly).
Carbon-fiber-appropriate cutting system
o Use tungsten carbide cutting edges or other edge suitable for durability when cutting carbon fiber (instead of the “Japanese tool steel” blades referenced generically for other applications).
o Vendor to maintain extra blade sets in stock for the custom machine (supportability expectation).
Waste handling different from the standard model behavior
o Standard behavior described: scraped trim on each side is cut and re-rolled along with the good cuts.
o ORNL requirement/customization: waste cannot be wound together with the good product; needs separate waste management, with the proposed custom approach being rewinding waste into separate waste roll(s) (one/both sides) or otherwise directing it separately.
Adjustable slit width via knife/spacer arrangement
o Width adjustment called out as required; Vendor proposed spacers between knives as the adjustment mechanism.
Independent drives/controls
o Cutter speed and winding speed independently controlled, each with its own motor, and adjustable feed rate (called out explicitly as a capability of the proposed configuration).
