Continuous Monitored Press Lubrication
The patented Minster MonitorFlow Pressurized Recirculating Oil Lubrication System supplies a continuous flow of filtered oil under pressure to all bearing surfaces ensuring reliable operation. It monitors both the flow to these points as well as oil level and pressure in the entire system. If a fault occurs, it protects the bearings by stopping the press operation before damage can occur.
From the Manifold in the press crown, oil is channeled to bearings, gibs, gears and counterbalances. Flow switches monitor oil flow to main and connection bearings, gibs, counterbalance cylinders, driveshaft, and through the sump line to the reservoir. This protects against both broken and plugged lines.
In the event of a lubrication fault, the Message Screen within the PMC Control instantly shows which flow switch (or switches) signalled the fault, helping to pinpoint the problem area.
