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
The pipe rack system we have is shown below in a front view & side view
