GEC MD8060 Automated Scale Presses Industry Day

The Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force Metrology and Calibration Program (AFMETCAL), is hosting an Industry Day for the GEC MD8060 Automated Scale Presses on April 7, 2026, from 0800 to 1600 at the Air Force Primary Standards Laboratory in Heath, Ohio. The event aims to provide industry representatives with insights into the potential modification of the MD8060, which involves replacing its current hydraulic and electronic systems with a manually controlled hydraulic pump while maintaining its accuracy and operational range. This Industry Day is crucial for vendors to inspect the MD8060 firsthand, understand the modification requirements, and engage in discussions about potential risks and mitigation strategies. Interested parties must pre-register by March 27, 2026, and can contact Thomas Carson at thomas.carson.2@us.af.mil or Frank Capuano at frank.capuano@us.af.mil for further information.
