Description:

Noble Fire, known as Don Park Fire, is the leading fabricator of sprinkler heads in Ontario. Noble Fire produces Sprinkler Systems for both residential and commercial industries as

per the NFPA and Ontario Building Code standards Noble Fire is requesting a quote to design, build and integrate preselected Cypress

Welding & Plasma Burning machines as per Noble Fire requirements. It is the responsibility of the machine builder/integrator to become familiar with all Noble Fire

production environment plant conditions. STANDARDS & REGULATIONS:

The machines and integration of the machines must fully comply with:

Ontario Health Safety Act National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)

National Standard for Sprinkler System Design (FC 403 ) CSA Certified

Ontario Building Code

The type of outlets and quality Noble Fire produces are shown below:


Production Processes The production requirement is to be able to burn and weld a minimum

DESIRED EQUIPMENT INTEGRATION Noble Fire would like to integrate the following equipment into their production facility:

1. CYPRESS CWE-1500-MG Circle Welder With Remote

2. CB-1P Plasma Circle Burner

Noble Fire Production requirement is 900 welded outlets/day

Based The Cypress Machine Capability is 6-10 seconds for cutting and 15-20

seconds for welding. Therefore the total combined cycle time = 30 seconds

Therefore the Cypress Capacity should be the following:

Integrated at our facility with our pipe bench by machine builder/integrator
