Large Assembly Capabilities

The Minster Machine Company assembly area comprises of 8,593 square meters (92,500 sq. ft.) of production space. This area is serviced by 12 overhead cranes ranging in capacity from 2.7 kg. (3 tons) to 72.7 kg. (80 tons) and 46 jib cranes ranging in capacity from .4 kg. (½ ton) to 1.8 kg. (2 tons). Pit assembly areas are available that increase the distance under hook to a maximum of 15.5 meters (51 feet) on the assembly floor.

The assembly floor is being structured into manufacturing cells that parallel the press sub-assembly and final assembly structures. These cells are staffed by skilled craftsmen who assemble the components into a finished operating press. The assembly floor is a 24-hour per day operation.

Precision assembly skills have been honed in the areas of clutch, upright, bed, slide and crown construction as well as the final assembly and runoff of material forming equipment. The assembly operation is also capable of integrating equipment into process lines and demonstrating their operation prior to shipment.
