Correct installation is an important step in the satisfac-
tory long term operation of your press. The type of
mounting can have an effect upon the operating effi-
ciency, press alignment, stability, and noise and vibra-
tion levels. In order to provide the best and most
economical installation, physical conditions at the site
and operating characteristics of the press, as well as
the type of work being performed, must be considered.
Because of the many variables associated with soil
conditions, press application, and the type of work per-
formed, it is not possible to prepare a universal foun-
dation plan that is dimensionally and economically
correct for all. It is suggested by Minster that the user
consult an experienced professional in the field of
foundation layout when considering a suitable
foundation for the press.
The Minster Model 101 OBI/OBS Series press must be
positively anchored to the floor. Instructions for proper
installation are provided below.
INSTALLING AND
LEVELING THE PRESS
It is extremely important that each of the press feet
bear the intended proportionate share of the load
and that they be mounted in an undistorted plane.
Leveling of the press with a precision machinery level
provides a convenient means of checking for any dis-
tortion or twisting of the press frame.
At the time of installation, the press should be carefully
leveled in both directions — left-to-right and front-to-
back — in the exact location where the press will be
installed. Use a precision machinery level and level
the press following the recommended procedure.
Follow the procedure outlined below to install and level
the press.
1. Make certain the area of the foundation on which
the press is to be mounted is flat and on the same
plane. This is required in order to make certain that
all four (4) press feet are bearing evenly to avoid
twisting the frame.
2. Make certain the area of the foundation slab on
which the press is to be mounted is free of debris.
3. Position the press on the foundation in the exact
location where the press will be placed.
4. Clean the top surface of the bed or bolster plate
thoroughly so that the level readings are accurate.
5. Position a precision machinery level on the top
surface of the bed with the length of the level paral-
lel to the front edge of the bed. Take readings at the
front, rear, and on both sides of the bed or bolster
plate. (See Figure 2C.)
6. If the press is low on one side, the various readings
will indicate this and correction can be made by plac-
ing steel shims between the press feet and the foun-
dation. Correction may be required under one or
more of the press feet. The press should be level
within .001 inch per foot (0.025 mm per each 300
mm) of bed width in the front-to-back direction. Make
certain that the level readings are exactly the
same as the level is moved from front-to-back.
NOTE: If shims are added under the press feet for
leveling purposes, the area of each shim
should be equal to that of the press foot.
7. Reposition the precision machinery level so that its
length is parallel to the side of the bed or bolster
plate and take several readings as the level is
moved to the opposite side. If the press is low on
one side, make the necessary corrections as
explained in Step 6.
8. When the press is level, it must be bolted to the
floor in the manner described on the Foundation
Layout which is included in the composite Service
Manual (furnished).
NOTE: Due to the unequal left-to-right weight ratio
and the unequal front-to-rear weight ratio of
the gap frame design, the use of press
shock mounts to suppress vibration are
absolutely not recommended due to the
