Process 500 Die Castings a Day

Thank you for being our customer. Kinetic Die Casting Company makes parts for our manufacturing customers using the die casting process. What that means is, we inject molten metal into a steel die mold to make metal parts. When the die casting mold is in the die casting machine, the die casting process to make metal parts is very fast.

Die Casting Process
Die Casting Process

It goes like this:

  • 1. The mold is opened by the die casting machine.
  • 2. Our experienced die casting machine operator sprays the mold with a release agent so the metal part does not stick to the mold.
  • 3. Our operator closes the machine and the machine uses several tons of pressure to hold the mold closed
  • 4. The molten metal is injected into the mold at extreme pressure and speed.
  • 5. After a few seconds the molten metal “freezes” into shape.
  • 6. The machine opens within typically less than a minute.
  • 7. The die casting machine opens and the part is extracted using ejector pins to push out the part.
  • 8. The die casting process starts again, usually within a minute of the last part made.
  • In this way, we make 60 parts for our customer every hour and about 500-600 parts in a 10 hour work shift.

    Ray Fish Electro Adapter My Obituary

    I always found Ray to be very intelligent, and a shrewd business man. He would be 90 years old, if he were alive today. I met Ray Fish of AQ Die Casting/Electro Adaptor on 12/11/03 when my maintenance manager, Victor Ortega, gave me his name telling me that Ray had two Toshiba die casting machines for sale, a 350ton and a 400ton with ladlers prints and manuals. The machines did not work so Ray wanted $5,000 for both die casting machines. AQ Die Casting Electro-Adaptor (https://www.electro-adapter.com/)

    In 09/15/12, Ray Fish contacted me to say that he was closing down AQ Die Casting but keeping Electro Adapter. Ray sent me several dies and tooling for several customers. Since then, Ray was on my cookie and almond roca list.

    On 11/11/21, I received this email from Ray regarding my Christmas almond roca update. “Thank you for the thought I lost my sweetheart and best friend 2 weeks ago to the virus 69 years of bliss. God Bless her for being there for me as always. My holidays will be memories Be Safe & Be Well, Ray”

    In 1969, Ray Fish founded AQ Die Casting/Electro Adapter. Ray was involved with die castings since the 1950s. He took over operations from Barron Die Casting in the late 1960s or early 1970s.

    In 1979, ten years later, he moved operations to a 54,000 square foot facility in Chatsworth, California. The Chatsworth facility, completed in 1979, is devoted to the design, development, production and qualification of connector accessories.

    Electro Adapter, Inc. manufactures and supplies connector accessories, conduit assemblies, and accessory banding systems for aerospace, military, marine, railroad, and industrial automation markets. It specializes in thin-wall aluminum and zinc castings. The company offers die-castings, bulkhead adapters, extenders, connector savers, protective covers, shorting cans, banding tools, and composites; and accessories for D-sub, micro-D, circular, and ARINC rectangular connectors. It also provides casting, machining, trimming, de-burring, plating, inspection, and metal finishing services for commercial and mil spec applications; and tool and mold design and fabrication, surface treatment, painting, and assembly services. The company is based in Chatsworth, California.
