Minster Clutches and Brake Upgrades
Minster's Combination Hydraulic Clutch & Brake stops 2-5 times faster than standard units. This allows you to:

Reduce Die Crashes ~ To prevent damage when a stock buckle or other type of fault is detected, your press must be capable of stopping before the upper die contacts your material. Retrofitting a high performance Minster clutch and brake unit onto your current press can provide you with the quick response you need to avoid these types of crashes.

Increase Production Speed ~ To avoid the type of die crash discussed above, many press users limit their press production speed based on their press' stopping time in order to protect their dies. In this case, retrofitting a Minster Hydraulic Clutch and Brake unit onto your press will allow you to significantly increase your production rates while maintaining your die protection.

Reduce Feeding and Part Transfer Issues ~ To maximize production speed while maintaining die protection, many press users have significantly reduced their allowable feed angle or time allowed for part transfer. In some cases, this has created unstable material loops or part transfer that result in reduced quality or increased die jams. In this case, faster stopping time allows you the ability to increase the time utilized to feed material or transfer parts while maintaining your production speed and your die protection.
