PRODUCTIVITY EQUIPMENT1) The new equipment will provide productivity enhancements that are not achievable with current equipment. Items to be procured include a test stand,material handling systems, rapid prototyping system, rotary fixture, overhead crane, and a grinder.2) Project analyses have been performed as applicable.3) There are no savings, just cost avoidances. The new equipment will provide capabilities that are not currently available at FRCSE and FRCSW.4) If the equipment is not acquired it will limit the productivity and efficiency of the FRCs.NEW MISSION EQUIPMENT1) The existing equipment allows Fleet Readiness Center North Island (FRC SW) to achieve our mission by performing routine and emergency maintenance,repair, and modifications for Navy and Marine aircraft, and associated systems and components. Aircraft supported include the F/A 18 Hornet, E-2CHawkeye, C-2A Greyhound, CH-53E Sea Stallion, and SH-60 Seahawk.2) The new equipment will provide new capability and capacity that cannot be met with current equipment and facilities. Items to be procured include aheating system, overhead bridge rail systems, 5-axis machining center, variable electron microscope, and microprocessor.3) Project analyses have been performed as applicable.4) There are no cost savings or avoidances as the projects are based upon capability or capacity requirements, not dollar savings.5) If the projects are not implemented, the FRC's capability and capacity will be restricted resulting in longer turn-around-times to provide aircraft and parts tothe fleet.PROJECTS ABOVE $1M:FY 10REPLACE KOMO TM #4 AXIS MILL - CHERRY POINT1) This project plans to remanufacture the KOMO TM 4 Axis Mill in shop 93552, Building 137, Equipment Identification Number (EIN) 65923023050. TheKOMO TM is a 3 axis machining center with an add on 4th axis rotary table. The KOMO TM is a traveling column machine tool with a fixed bed. The weightcapacity is unlimited. The feature that makes the KOMO TM unique at the FRC is the length of the bed in X axis. The bed is 120" long. This length gives uscapability to machine large parts such as the CH 53 cargo tracks currently being machined on the KOMO TM that are over 10 feet long.The manufacturing machine shop has always had a long bed milling center to provide this capability. The machine tool that the KOMO TM replaced was also a120" machine. This machine was a Monarch Vertical Machining Center (VMC) 200. The KOMO TM has out lived its life expectancy. The equipment is ofteninoperable due to maintenance repairs. For some parts there is no back up machine for processing parts, therefore they are either sent to Jacksonville forprocessing or remain idle until machine is operable again. The original equipment manufacturer no longer exists, making it impossible to locate replacementparts.- Continued on Next PageExhibit Fund-9BCapital Purchase Justification
