Title: Sources Sought Notice for a Laser-Based 3D Tracking and 3D Scanning Metrology Instrument





The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government-s anticipated needs.



BACKGROUND



The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Engineering Laboratory Intelligent Systems Division (ISD) performs research to develop standards for robots and robot systems for manufacturing, emergency response, and industrial and on-road automated vehicles. The NIST ISD requires a single, portable, instrument for use in planned common coordinate frame system research experiments. The instrument must be able to perform both reflector and reflector-less 3D measurements to achieve NIST-s requirements for obtaining ground-truth information and high-throughput 3D data.



CAPABILITIES SOUGHT

NIST is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a single, portable, laboratory instrument that will achieve the following objectives:



Able to operate both as a laser tracker (reflector measurements) with spherically-mounted retroreflectors (SMRs) and operate as a scanner (reflector-less measurements) to obtain point cloud data of surfaces without the need for SMRs. Able to achieve the following while performing reflector measurement: Must be capable of tracking a spherically-mounted retroreflector (SMR) at a distance of up to 80 meters or farther and 0.8 m or closer. Must have a maximum permissible error (MPE) for angular accuracy of ± 15 µm + 6 µm/m or lower, according to ISO 10360-10:2016 The MPE of length Measurement (EUni:0:LT, MPE) must be ± 100 µm, according to ISO 10360-10:2016 Chapter 6.4, Table 4, positions 1 to 35. Must have a field of view of 360° in the horizontal plane. Must have a field of view of ±145° or larger in the vertical plane. A...
