6. How many tons, pieces, or connections per year?

To prepare a cost justification and times studies, the following information will be helpful:

7. How is the pipe being cut now and how much time does each connection take? Be sure to include grinding and welding time (for time study purposes)

8. What other equipment is in the shop (turning rolls, manipulators, plasma units, CNC plate cutting machines, welding equipment)?

9. What CAD system and network software is employed? Do you intend to perform CAD-CAM downloading of part programs to your cutting machine?

10. Are there any special factors or limiting conditions, applications, or site considerations? Do you intend to burn other structural shapes, channel or flat stock? Is piece-labeling or line-marking if interest. Are air quality and noise-abatement measures under consideration?

11. What is the investment approval process and when is the decision to be made?
