- Description
- NASA/KSC has a requirement for a micro-focus real time x-ray system. The following salient characteristics are provided. Micro-focus real time x-ray system quantity 1. The system shall be integrated into an existing exposure cell in a manner that complies with the Florida State Administrative Code, 64E-5, requirements for performing industrial radiography. The equipment performance characteristics shall exhibit controlled and repeatable radioscopic and radiographic film characteristics including density, contrast, and sensitivity. The supplier shall provide a 160 kV (Minimum), variable amperage, constant potential micro-focus x-ray consisting of a control system, high voltage generator, x-ray tube, H.V. cables and vacuum system that as a minimum has the following salient characteristics: Control/High Voltage System: * Operates on an input power of Single-Phase 208VAC, 60 Amp service. * 300 Watt (Minimum) output power. * The unit will operate at a 100% duty cycle at the rated output of 160 kV. * Capable of integration into the existing safety interlock system that consist of a Omron Sysmac S6 controller with shut off switch, a High Voltage blade disconnect switch (230 kV) , a low voltage (6V DC) Sentrol 2700 series magnetic switch and a low voltage double pole/double throw micro-switch. * Control cables should be at least 10 Meters in length for connection of the inlet power to the controller and the RS 232 cable to the PC (if so quoted) or control console. * Control cables connecting the controller to the X-Ray tube, H.V. Generator, Tube Cooler and the Vacuum System should be a minimum of 5 Meters in length. * The High Voltage cable should be a minimum 3 Meters in length. Micro-focus Tube: * The tube should be water cooled. * Open type tube with replaceable filament and a tungsten target. * 30 degree directional tube head. * The focal spot may be variable or fixed with a maximum fixed focal spot size of 5?. * The unit will have a maximum beam cone of 40 degrees. Vacuum System: * The vendor will supply an integrated vacuum system consisting of a roughing pump, turbo molecular pump and a controller. * The system will have a 3 Meter flexible vacuum hose connecting the roughing pump to the unit. * All vacuum connections will consist of ?QF? fittings. * The system will have an active sensor for verifying the vacuum system. Operational/Software: * The system should be capable of being operated using a standard existing Windows XP platform or as an option have a self contained control module for complete operation of the X-Ray system. * The system should be rack mountable. * The control program will include controls for performing automatic warm-up, user controls for focusing of the beam, and a timer for performing film radiography. Deliverables: * 2 copies of all manuals, drawings, schematics. * Spare parts list. * The vendor should include a minimum of 6 filament (modules) for spares upon installation of the unit. Acceptance Test: * Kennedy Space Center will perform an acceptance test to verify operability, sensitivity and resolution capabilities of the Micro-focus system.
