Product Safety
The Minster Machine Company designs and builds its equipment to be in compliance with the applicable sections of the ANSI B11 series of safety standards for machine tool construction. As a global supplier we have certified our equipment to many national and regional machinery requirements. Minster provides safety literature regarding application of point of operation safeguarding, safety precautions and safe work instructions, all contained within its Operation and Service manuals. Minster also routinely provides at no charge to its equipment owners the information listed below (nominal charge for additional sets).
Product Safety Literature Request Form
We routinely maintain record of owners of Minster equipment so that we can keep them informed of product alerts, OSHA regulations and the availability of update control packages for older Minster equipment. If you have recently purchased a used Minster press, a press possessing a Minster clutch or Minster material handling equipment your name might not be in our customer files. In such instances, we request you call or write us (at email StaffEngineer@Minster.com), giving the serial number of your machine or clutch and the name and address of your company. We can then provide you with the above information. Also please feel free to contact us with your questions.
To receive the above documents in Adobe Acrobat portable document files (PDF), we request that you first register by clicking on this info request button (* decals can not be downloaded). NOTE: You will be required to email us with a valid press serial number and all requested data in order for us to email to you the above files as attachments. If we receive your request early, we will try to reply to you the same day.
A service and operation manual package prepared specifically for your Minster press, including operators and service manuals; parts lists; a copy of the original or last known wiring diagram, lube schematic and general assembly if available; "Minster Power Press Safety Manual" No. 805D, and "ANSI B11.1-Standard for Mechanical Power Presses" can be purchased at a cost of $175 per composite copy (to order by credit card call or fax the Minster Service Dept. or email us at MinsterService@minster.com with your Minster press serial no. and purchase order number).
