All You Need to Know about Aluminum Lighting Fixtures!
All You Need to Know about Aluminum Lighting Fixtures! Prior to the invention of aluminum die casting, most lighting fixtures have been exposed to welding techniques so as to produce the essential parts to this type of electrical component. Not only does this system provide an expensive and prolonged process of making just a few outputs, welding also require a lot of hands to work, necessitating a huge amount of labor. With this limitation in the widespread need for lighting fixtures to be made in different dimensions and specific designs, the science of die casting has also incorporated the production of aluminum lighting fixtures.
Aluminum lighting fixtures, as with all other products of aluminum die casting, are made with net shape. In the process of making aluminum lighting fixtures, die caster do not need to perform heavy welding, and can simply mold dies to produce the best lighting fixture in accordance to the requests of their clients. One of the best things about lighting fixtures made from aluminum is that it upholds thermal properties, thereby making it easier for a lot of household equipments and electronic gadgets to diffuse heat. Shipping costs wouldn’t also be a problem for most die casting clients as the material used is guaranteed to be lightweight. Most of the lighting fixtures before used to be made with plastic, however are found not to last long when compared to the longevity of those made from aluminum. The electrically conductive components of these fixtures also compliment the main functions of the outputs made from aluminum die casting.

KDC Closed Labor Day 2015
Kinetic Die Casting Company will be closed on Monday September 7, 2015 in observance of Labor Day.
Some fun facts from the US Department of Labor about Labor Day History:
The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.
In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a “workingmen’s holiday” on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.

Kinetic Die Casting Company and Continental Eagle Corporation
Kinetic Die Casting Company was contacted by C&D Die Casting Company that was in Chatsworth California in November 2004 (History of Kineticdc). C&D was letting us know that many of their customers were needing aluminum die casting parts.
One of those customers was:
Continental Eagle Corporation (coneagle.com).
Postal Address: Post Office Box 1000 Prattville, Alabama 36067-1000 USA
Location Address: 201 Gin Shop Hill Road Prattville , Alabama 36067-1000 USA
Telephone: (334) 365-8811 Facsimile: (334) 361-7627
We produced many aluminum ring spacer parts made from aluminum die casting parts for Continental Eagle over the years since 2004.
Here is an excerpt from their website (coneagle.com): Continental Eagle Corporation, located in Prattville, Alabama U.S.A., manufactures and markets worldwide a premier line of cotton ginning, cotton processing and handling equipment. Continental Eagle has a complete network of sales and service facilities located throughout the United States cotton belt and in the cotton producing areas of the world. Since 1832, Continental Eagle has remained the world leader in the design and manufacture of machines and systems for fiber industries. Continental Eagle is certified in accordance with the International Standards Organization 9001 Quality Management System. Continental Eagle’s IMPCO division, based in Prattville, Alabama manufactures machinery for the oilseeds processing industry.
Sadly, it seems that Continental Eagle is no longer in business. We still have the die casting tooling that makes the aluminum die casting spacer rings if anyone picks up the business and needs parts. We are saddened at the loss of another American business. Please contact us if you have any details for Continental Eagle Company.

Aluminum Die Casting–What You Need to Know!
Aluminum Die Casting–What You Need to Know. The manufacturing process involved in aluminum die casting is roughly the same as that used in the production of pre-fabricated concrete building materials such as the hollow blocks that commonly go into the construction of houses. The big difference of course is in the material used. Water, cement and aggregates such as gravel and sand are used In pre-fabricated concrete, while in aluminum die casting, molten aluminum is the base material.
Also, High pressure is used to inject the molten aluminum into a steel die cast mold or die cast. This high-pressure injection system is necessary to immediately fill the entire cavity of the die before any part of aluminum casting hardens or solidifies. Immediate filling of the die cavity help prevent discontinuities in the aluminum die casting. To further help ensure that the aluminum casting is injected even into difficult-to-fill sections of dies with thin parts, the molds are designed with vents to allow air to escape during the injection process.
Furthermore, most of the molds used in the aluminum die casting are water-cooled to help hasten the production process. Once the injection is complete, the molds are opened and the die castings are ejected. The finished aluminum castings may amount to thousands or hundreds depending on the design of the die cast.

Blue Light Special on Airport Lights
How Kinetic Die Casting Company helped a Airport Lighting Parts Manufacturer. To get help for your company, use this webpage: Prices for Die Casting Parts. George had an idea on how he could develop a better airport runway lighting product. In the 1990s, Kinetic Die Casting Company received a fax from a company called Airport Lighting Company. At Airport Lighting Company, George, makes the lighting products of many of the airports in America. One of his biggest product lines is the blue light on the side of runways. The product in use is a round steel plate that is machined with mounting holes that are drilled and counter bored. The center was a larger hole that is then drilled and threaded for an arm that stands about a foot tall holding a lamp light fixture with a blue light bulb. These steel round plates line the side of runways for airplanes.
George at Airport Lighting Company has a problem regarding his blue lamp runway light fixtures. Steel rusts. The steel plates he uses for the runway lights rust in bad weather, which causes the plate to collapse if a plane runs over the plate by accident. Aluminum die casting does not rust. Will an aluminum die casting plate be strong enough to hold the weight of an airplane?
George contacted Kinetic Die Casting Company with the question, how strong is aluminum die casting? Our engineer, Dante, created a solidworks model of an aluminum plate with strengthening ribs and gussets. We tested the model using software to test the strength. We sent George the test results and he was ecstatic. He commissioned us to build his tool and has purchased thousands of the aluminum plates. George created his own Blue Light Special on Airport Runway Lights.
Look out of the airplane window the next time you fly, those blue lights may be sitting on an aluminum plate that just may have been made by Kinetic Die Casting Company.
