More Efficient Way of Producing Speaker Parts

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

More Efficient Way of Producing Speaker Parts. Advancement in technology has been continuously coming in the society. People have easier and faster means of doing everything as compared to the traditional ones. One of the advancements that occurred is the production of different industrial parts made from different metal alloys. There are also different ways of manufacturing these products like die casting and sand casting. With casting procedures, even the smallest part of equipment can be created with the finest details depending on what type of procedure is used. The common metal alloy used in these procedures is aluminum because it is durable and easy to mold. Manufacturing aluminum parts is also inexpensive as compared to other metals.

In the music industry, pressure die casting is also prevalent because the parts of the equipments are made of metal like that of speakers and amplifiers. Aluminum pressure die casting is perfect for producing speaker parts because these parts are small and the material to be used should be heat-resistant. Other casting procedures like sand casting cannot produce such detailed parts. Since amplifiers and speakers need precise parts, aluminum pressure die casting should be used. Besides, aluminum die casting is much inexpensive as compared to sand casting. The tools to be used are way cheaper and the procedure is much faster in aluminum die casting.

Die Casting Materials

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Materials that are used for casting and used in conjunction of die cast molds come in many forms. And the choice of which materials to use will depend on the manufacturer and will depend on the characteristics of the material alloys. Each of the following materials and alloys has its own properties and benefits, and manufacturers often choose from among these materials and weigh the pros and cons of the alloys and materials.

The main materials or alloys used include zinc, aluminum, and magnesium, copper, lead and tin. The alloys and have its own set of advantages and benefits when used and it is imperative that industrial manufacturers should know what makes one alloy or material superior to the next one. In terms of the material that is easiest to cast then that material is zinc. This material is known for their high ductility, for high impact strength and will be known for its economy. The aluminum material is known for its light weight and known as the material that with high dimensional stability when used for complex shapes and thin walls. The material is known to be reliable against corrosion and has good mechanical properties.

The magnesium is the alloy that is easiest to machine and known for its excellent strength to weight ratio. Copper is another material used in conjunction with the die casting molds and the alloy form copper is known for high hardness and a better material that can withstand corrosion. Lead and thin are two other alloy materials used when casting.

Kinetic Die Casting Company makes Cast Aluminum Parts for Music

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Kinetic Die Casting Company makes Cast Aluminum Parts for Music. Amplifiers were first used for electronic keyboards and bass guitars, but have since then expanded to other instruments for a full range speaker system and power level. Amplifier is required to reproduce the low frequency pitches produced by electronic keyboards and bass guitars especially at higher volumes.

The guitar amplifier chassis is produced in aluminum through Kinetic Die Casting Company. Aluminum is often used are in solid states, because they are lightweight, easy to repair and less expensive. However, some guitarists prefer vacuum tube amps despite it being heavy weight and expensive. Many of them prefer vacuum tube guitar amplifiers because of the sound it makes, particularly in blues and rock music genres. Modern tube amplifiers are designed to no longer require tube biasing making it simpler for its users.

Here are some features of Guitar Amplifiers made from cast aluminum parts:

  • Dual 12AX7 tubes biased at 250 V
  • Aluminum die cast amplifier chassis through Kinetic Die Casting Company
  • Comprehensive guitar LED indicator
  • Remote control switching
  • Unique Bass control adjusts the guitar resonant speaker response
  • Scoop control for massive tone shaping
  • Advanced Treble control for detailed guitar
  • Switcheable 20 DB nuclear gain boost response

  • Music Uses Aluminum

    Saturday, January 16th, 2010

    Music Uses Aluminum. The use of aluminum products has become widespread. You can see aluminum everywhere and it is actually impossible to be in a place where you cannot see an aluminum part. This prevalence is due to the fact that aluminum is very durable and inexpensive. Many manufacturers prefer using aluminum in their products because it is easy to mold and inexpensive to make. Also, aluminum has chemical and thermal properties that are suitable to heat-producing equipments that can avoid malfunction and give longer lifespan for the equipments. With these reasons, even the music industry is using aluminum for the some parts of the equipments used like amplifiers, speakers, and even guitar chassis. These equipments are sensitive because of the vibrations and frequencies that they receive. This makes the aluminum so perfect for the musical equipments.

    Aluminum diecastings are advantageous when it comes to aluminum musical equipment because of the weight. As compared to steel casts, aluminum parts are only one-third in weight. As we know, these equipments are frequently transported so having light weight is really a plus. Also, aluminum casts can diffuse the heat that is produced when using the equipments so they can prolong the life of these equipments. Lastly, aluminum casts are produced near net shape so joints and welded parts are rarely seen. This makes the casts stronger as compared to the steel parts that have joints and welded parts.

    C and D Die Casting Company

    Friday, January 8th, 2010

    Twice in the last three days, I was called to visit a company that did business with C and D Diecasting Company. C&D went out of business in 2004 because of Workers Compensation issues. CD die casting company was located in Chatsworth California. Jay Clifford was the owner of C&D Die Casting, he also owned Clifford Tooling and Machining.

    Jay Clifford of C D Die Casting Company sold me the tooling, mold bases and holders for die casting molds. Because I now own the holders I can produce parts for anyone that was doing business with C and D Die Casting Company.

    The first company I visited, took their tool away in 2004 as C and D Die Casting was closing down and sent the tool to a die casting company in Burbank called Royal Die Casting. In 2009, Royal Die Casting Company closed also. They need parts and found my company, Kinetic Die Casting Company, through another company I purchased called Coast Die Casting Company.

    The second company I visited, has not purchased parts since 2004 when C D diecasting company closed down.

    I am happy they found my company and I know they are happy we can help them.
