1 OMIC R&D TECHNOLOGY BOARD Ball Screw Rapid Frming Request fr Prpsals 1.0 Purpse The purpse f this dcument is t prvide guidelines and a template fr the submissin f prpsals t the Oregn Manufacturing Innvatin Center (OMIC) Technlgy Bard fr the successful cmpletin f the research prject described belw in the sectin entitled Prject Infrmatin. 2.0 Prject Infrmatin Prject Title: Ball Screw Rapid Frming Prject Descriptin: Discver new methds and tls fr creating lw cst high precisin ball screws. Thread Whirling is a methd fr frming screws cmmnly used in the medical field fr bne screws. Thread Whirling is typically dne n swiss CNC lathes r lathes with a Y-AXIS, using this methd screws can be cut in a very shrt amunt f time. The accuracy f thread whirling des nt lend itself t an applicatin where a high precisin ball screw with a 16Ra surface finish is required. Rller Burnishing is a way t cmpress a cut surface by pressing a rtating wheel against the wrkpiece in rder t achieve extremely smth surfaces. Cmbining these tw prcesses, thread whirling and rller burnishing, culd ptentially lead t drastically reduced runtimes fr cmpanies t machine ball screws. Machines Needed WFL M80 MillTurn r DMG CTX Gamma 2000 TC Cutting Tls Needed Thread Whirling Head with HSK 100 r live tling interface similar t a rightangle head Ptential fr multiple cmpanies t participate Rller Burnishing tl Ptential fr multiple cmpanies t participate Testing Equipment Needed Surface rughness gage Optical micrscpy Thread gage Measuring wires Testing needed Check the surface rughness t ensure part meets 16Ra finish Inspect the surface fr signs f fracturing r stress Inspect thread frm, prfile, and pitch CMM Material needed

Hw t Submit: Send prpsals by t the OMIC R&D Prject Manager, Ally Imbdy <alicia.imbdy@it.edu> Prpsal Review Prcess: Prpsals will be reviewed and award decisins made by the OMIC Technical Advisry Bard. The Bard encurages cllabratin between OMIC s university research partners in respnse t this RFP when cllabratin will prvide the best value fr achieving the desired Prject Outcmes. Evaluatins will be based n the fllwing criteria: Sundness f the prpsed methdlgy Demnstrated subject-matter expertise f prpsed staff Cst/reasnableness f prpsed budget Timeline/adherence t prpsed schedule Past perfrmance (if applicable) Technlgy Bard members will evaluate each eligible prpsal submitted using a fivepint scale where: 1- pr, 2-deficient, 3-acceptable, 4-superir, 5-utstanding. Evaluatrs will assign a default scre f 3 fr Past Perfrmance if n infrmatin is available. All scres will be averaged by the Tech Bard chair and a decisin made based n the highest verall scre. Infrmatinal Cntact: Questins are t be directed t the OMIC Prject Manager, Ally Imbdy <alicia.imbdy@it.edu> by September 24, Cnslidated questins will be sent t the Technlgy Bard Chair, Matt Carter <matthew.d.carter@being.cm>
