Robotic Wire Harness Manufacturing Machines W51AA126QA040
Summary
AI-generated · Mar 17, 2026Lease two robotic wire harness manufacturing machines from Molrix LLC: one Prototype/LRIP unit and one Full Rate Production unit, including machine documentation, operating software, and engineering services for both. This is not a competitive solicitation; Molrix LLC is the sole identified source capable of meeting the requirements, though capability statements may be submitted for consideration toward future competitive procurement.
Equipment must support wire handling and terminations (various wire types and termination methods) with protective applications, and meet detailed mechanical, electrical, and environmental specifications for both units. The LRIP machine is smaller and has limited axis ranges; the full-rate production unit is larger with extended axis movement. Both require operator and maintenance manuals, installation documentation, training materials, CAD/CAM software for post-processing, and engineering services including operator and advanced training, application engineers, field support, and end-effector development. Submissions must be provided by the stated deadline via email to the designated point of contact.
