The Minster Machine Company

1993-2003

Minster, OH
Industrial metal-forming press manufacturer
Designer
Designed 200 through 1600-ton straight-side presses.
Created job bills of material, assembly layouts, and component detail drawings for 15 new presses and 18
remanufacture orders using IBM CADAM and SDRC I-deas 2D/3D software.
Created drawings and material requirements for repair orders.
Served as Vendor Liaison to provide answers to outsource providers drawing information and nonconforming parts inquiries.
Accomplishments
Redesigned cast iron press uprights to accommodate wider material feed lines. This improved ease of
manufacturability by utilizing interchangeable common components and reduced pattern set-up time by
eliminating 9 variable pattern sections (from 11 pattern changes per setup to 2).

Created first proposal for 240-inch 1200-ton press, including design of new bed weldment
configuration that maintained minimal stress and deflection characteristics while conforming to
limitations of space and crane capacities in manufacturing areas.
Updated lubrication monitoring system to monitor previously unmonitored lube points.
Reconfigured slides to permit interchangeable fitment of mechanical or electronic shutheight
indicators.
Designed new crown weldment configuration to permit fitment of larger clutch assembly and longer
crankshaft throw to meet special customer requirements. This resulted in a lighter structure with easier
weldment while maintaining high strength and low stresses.
Maintained specification books on Microsoft Access database to permit sales and engineering
personnel to search for shipped press specifications, special features and major component assembly
weights for reference when selling or designing new presses.

regulators using IBM CADAM.
Created job bills of material, assembly and sub-assembly layouts, and component detail drawings for
internal structure of transformers.
Created, implemented, and maintained new standard drawings and engineering design practices for largecore, medium-core and shell-form transformer technologies.
Accomplishments
Translated pencil master internal layout drawings of purchased competitors designs to CAD.
Maintained engineering design manuals, standard master layouts, and master calculation manuals for
four transformer configurations.
Implemented use of standard core clamp framing assembly drawings and common parts to reduce
variations in assembly configurations and simplify sub-assembly procedures.
Began implementation of standardization in sub-assembly of oil cooling radiators and fans to permit
faster upgrades when required.
