CN-Seamless Statement of Work (SOW)

1.0 Objective/Requirements

The NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Equipment Shop (LES) requires a portable Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) plasma and oxy-fuel cutting system to support fabrication operations in the LES Shop. The primary use of this equipment will be cutting of metallic plate and structural material in support of launch equipment and ground support equipment fabrication, tooling, and fixtures. LES compared the CN-Seamless Mach 1 to other commercially available portable CNC cutting systems, including track mounted carriages and portable gantry machines. Compared to those systems, Mach 1 is the one reviewed that provides all of the following:
 Mounts directly on the workpiece with an electromagnetic base, with no rails, track, or cutting table, in horizontal, vertical, or overhead orientation.  Weighs 20lbs (25 with cutting attachment), carried with one hand or stored in a rolling case.
 Plasa and oxy-fuel cutting on one machine, with toolless changeover between processes.
 Rated cutting capacity of up to 5in. steel with oxy-fuel, and 1-1/2in. recommended with the quoted Hypertherm Powermax125 plasma system.  Wireless tablet controls from up to 100ft, keeping the operator away from the arc, fumes, and spatter.
 CNC cutting from imported DXF files or by tracing parts with the machine arm, producing repeatable cuts compared to hand torch cutting.  5-year manufacturer’s warranty, lifetime service contract, and live virtual training from a U.S. manufacturer.
LES did not identify any other commercially available system that mounts directly on the workpiece without rails or a track while providing both plasma and oxy-fuel CNC cutting and wireless operation. Other portable systems review, including those with magnetic mounting, require rail or track to be installed first or require the material to be brought to a gantry machine. The CN-Seamless Mach 1 is the only system identified that meets the LES requirements.
The contractor shall furnish and deliver the cutting system and associated equipment identified in Section 2.2 and shall provide manufacturer setup support and operator training. The system shall be fully operational upon Government acceptance.

2.0 Scope

The contractor shall furnish and deliver a portable CNC cutting unit that mounts directly to the workpiece and performs both plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, together with the equipment identified in the parts list. The contractor shall provide standard manufacturer setup support
