Tooling Used For Aluminum Die Casting
Tooling Used For Aluminum Die Casting. Tooling is a major requirement in aluminum die casting. During the process of casting, the softened molten metal is injected through custom tooling. The die is then cut into two halves. There is the cover metal die which is mounted on the stationary based platen and the ejector type die, which is actually mounted to a movable platen. Such a design provides the die with the ability to close or open along parting lines. Once the hole is closed, the two die halves will form a type of internal cavity which is filled with hot molten metal in order to form its final casting.
The cavity is formed through 2 inserts. The two inserts are the core and cavity inserts. They are inserted into the cover or ejector die. The cover die provides movement or flow of the molten metal through the injection area. Through a small opening and the cavity, the molten metal will be able to move easily. The ejector die also includes a support plate and a small enclosure called the ejector box, which is well mounted onto the area of the platen. When the clamping separates the 2 halves of the die, the clamping bar will be pushing the ejector plate into the ejector box. The clamps will then push the pins of the ejector to the molded part. The added pressure will eject the clamp from its core insert. In order to perfect the process, multiple cavity die is often utilized and in this type of process the two halves of the die will form several types of identical cavities.

Empire Die Casting Co Files Chapter 11
The leadership at Empire Die Casting Co. of Macedonia has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and hopes to sell the company soon. New Growth Capital Group LLC of Hudson has submitted a letter of intent to acquire the assets of Empire Die Casting for $11.7 million in cash. New Growth Capital Group would be designated as a stalking horse bidder for the auction, and Empire Die Casting would pay a break-up fee of $180,000 if New Growth Capital Group is out-bid.
Carl Harbert, managing partner of New Growth Capital, said the small group of operators is looking to buy companies in which they can remain invested for 30-plus years. Empire Die Casting would be New Growth Capital’s first acquisition.
Robert Hopkins, president of Empire Die Casting, declined to disclose potential buyers of the business, but did say the interested parties plan to keep the aluminum and zinc casting company in Macedonia and to grow it.
Mr. Hopkins said the desire to sell the company has come up in the last two months. He said the company’s owner is looking to retire and get out of the business.
The bankruptcy was filed Oct. 16 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Akron. The company listed assets of between $10,000,001 and $50 million, and liabilities of between $1,000,001 and $10 million. There are about 200 employees at the company’s plant at 635 E. Highland Road.
The bid deadline listed in the bid procedures order is 5 p.m. Dec. 16. Marc Merklin, a managing partner in the Akron office of law firm Brouse McDowell LPA, said the court will hear the request for the bid procedures on Nov. 5. Until then, the terms in the referenced documents are not final.
The main hurdle Empire Die Casting faces is a potential liability in its multiemployer pension plan, which it’s addressing through the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. New Growth Capital’s letter of intent specifies that its proposed purchase would exclude rights, interests and liabilities regarding employee collective bargaining agreements and employee retirement/pension/benefit plans, among other corporate governance materials.
Mr. Merklin said the pension plan has a multimillion-dollar liability and is “unworkable” as is. He said with a multiemployer plan, when one employer withdraws from the plan, it puts pressure on the others. That means penalties for such plans are high.
According to a document included in the Chapter 11 filing, Empire Die Casting had $34 million in sales last fiscal year. The document notes that profitability and cash flow for the company have decreased in recent years due to “production inefficiencies.” The company also saw an increase in indirect costs and “ineffective implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system,” which made it difficult for Empire Die Casting to manage its costs and pricing.

An Enclosure for Electronics
An Enclosure for Electronics. Electronic items need a special type of enclosure because, unlike common items, they are prone to damages other than those caused by physical contact. They can be rendered unusable if placed near or subjected to a source of magnetic energy. This is because electronic items use electrical energy to create magnetic energy in order to function. An external source of magnetic energy would “confuse” their system, so to speak, and would prevent them from functioning normally. This is why electronic items are stored inside aluminum boxes.
Aluminum boxes are containers that prevent external sources of magnetic energy from reaching an electronic item. These boxes use the fundamental principle of physics that magnetic energy travels only on the exterior of an enclosed object. Usually, aluminum boxes can be seen in hardware stores or DIY stores. However, the problem with these boxes is that they come in pre-determined sizes. Electronic items need to be secured in place as they are being carried around to reduce the chances that they will acquire damage. It is therefore advised to contact a manufacturing plant in order to find an aluminum box that has the exact specifications for the electronic item.
Manufacturing company create these boxes only if they manufacture aluminum based products. Customers need to contact the manufacturing plant and then give the specifications that they desire. The plant will then give a quote for the total cost of the order. Depending on the manufacturing plant, orders may either be accepted individually or in bulk.
