Michigan firms get stimulus grants for green manufacturing
Mark Hornbeck / Detroit News Lansing Bureau
Lansing — Five small manufacturing companies won $15.5 million in federal stimulus awards to help them move into making green energy systems and parts, Gov. Jennifer Granholm announced today.
The firms will diversify from making tanks, auto parts and boats to manufacturing solar shingles, wind turbines and windmills. The governor’s office reported the grants will create or retain 713 jobs.
“These are existing businesses moving into revolutionary new areas,” Granholm said, adding the state has invested $1 billion into the renewable and alternative energy sector.

The companies that won the grants were among 80 that submitted applications, said Stanley “Skip” Pruss, director of the Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth.
“Clean tech is a space Michigan fits very well in,” Pruss said. “What you see here is the best in class.”
Firms awarded grants include:
• Astraeus Wind Energy Inc. of Eaton Rapids will get $7 million to make wind turbine blades and hubs.
• Energetx Companies LLC of Holland was awarded $3.5 million to manufacture large composite wind turbines.
• Loc Performance Products Inc. of Plymouth won $1.5 million to make gears and gearboxes for utility windmills.
• LUMA Resources LLC of Rochester Hills will get $500,000 to manufacture shingles for the residential solar market.
• Merrill Technologies Group of Saginaw will receive $3 million to make large-scale wind turbine blades and other components

Methods for making Aluminum Automotive Parts
Methods for making Aluminum Automotive Parts. Every single day, thousands of aluminum auto parts are made and produced by different auto companies: Chevrolet, Honda, Nissan, Toyota, and more. Many automotive parts are manufactured by net shape to save costs on additional labor and wasted materials. The metal aluminum is often used for car parts or auto parts for they are only a third of the weight of steel parts. Machining holes into the aluminum during production is easier. Indeed, aluminum proved to be the better metal compared to other metals because of its many beneficial properties.
To create aluminum automotive parts, the metal has to first undergo the die casting manufacturing process. First, the aluminum is being liquefied. The liquid metal will then be injected into the molds to take up the shape as dictated by the mold. Around 1,500 PSI to 30,000 PSI is applied, so that the liquid is forced into the mold perfectly. This will ensure accuracy in its dimensions. Afterwards, the molds are set aside to cool and once open, the aluminum automotive parts are perfectly finished.
The end result of this method is extraordinarily amazing: accurate dimensions and great surface finish. Parts can be remade with equal standard and consistency each time.

The Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic
Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic:
- Plastic is an insulator, while aluminum is electrically conductive. Plastic will need a special coating to achieve a similar result with aluminum (albeit inferior).
- Plastic does not ground, thus it requires extra grounding metal straps. Aluminum, being a metal, is easily grounded.
- Aluminum has a natural shield against RF and EMI, preventing radio frequency. Plastic does not block radio frequency.
- Aluminum brackets are much stronger than plastic injection moldings.
- Aluminum metal is stiff, while plastic injection moldings are too elastic for numerous applications.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well for chrome plating.
- Plastic can not obstruct electromagnetic emissions.
- Plastic does not do well with many coatings, while aluminum brackets do better on the department.
- Aluminum parts are stable, whereas plastic injection parts are not quite dimensionally stable.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well in conditions of hot and humid temperatures. Aluminum hardware is more heat resistant.
- One big problem with plastic is that they are not recyclable. Only less than 3% of the plastic will be recyclable. Nearly all metals, aluminum die castings in particular, are always readily recyclable.
- Aluminum die castings are non-hazardous and pose no problems to the government.

Customer Multiplied Total Sales 5x
About ten years ago, two men named “Brian” and “Ron” working for a machining company in Orange County, California contacted Kinetic Die Casting Company to quote a “Project” for a simple die casting tool to produce from 5,000 to 23,000 sets of parts.
Each set would make up a “Night Vision Goggle Device”.These sets consisted of seven (7) separate parts; the machining company would machine and assemble.
Brian needed these parts delivered very fast. The cost of the tooling needed to be inexpensive in order to be competitive.
We decided to make a “unit die tool” because of the low quantity potential and chose a good toolmaker in the Los Angeles area to make the tool. We opted to trim the parts with a simple “push through trim die” and to hand finish the parts. In order to make the tooling, we used 3D files from their Mastercam to produce IGES files. We added the shrinkage and draft necessary in order for the die casting tool to function properly.
The project went very well. In fact, Brian won additional contracts to produce more Night Vision Goggles. For a few years we were producing up to 5,000 sets or 35,000 parts every week. For three years straight this company was our top customer company and for five years a very good customer indeed.
At the project conclusion Kinetic Die Casting Company had produced over 400,000 sets of parts or 2,800,000 parts from that simple die casting tool for our good customer. This was a huge success for our customer because they grew in sales over 5x in those five years.
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes Cast Aluminum Parts for Music
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. 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
· 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
