Die Casting Aluminum Lighting Fixtures for Better Quality
Die Casting Aluminum Lighting Fixtures for Better Quality. The die casting manufacturing process is quite similar to permanent mold casting. Both processes start out by melting or liquefying the material such as resin, rubber, zinc, copper and aluminum to name a few, that is going to be used. The melted materials will then be injected into mold castings. The liquid will then take the form of the patterns in the mold castings. The molds will then be allowed to cool down to harden and once they are opened, the product is finished. The difference between die casting and permanent mold casting is that the former uses high amounts of pressure in the molds so that the material will get into every part of the pattern. This results in better quality of the products which is why die casting is chosen to make Aluminum Lighting Fixtures.
Aluminum Lighting Fixtures help in illuminating man made structures such as houses, buildings, tunnels as well as the streets at night. They are an essential part of these structures and a lot of them are needed. By using the die casting process, the bulk orders for these Aluminum Lighting Fixtures are met. Not only that, quality and consistency is insured by die casting. This is a cost efficient and effective way of producing Aluminum Lighting Fixtures.
Aluminum is a great choice for lighting fixtures as they are strong and can last a very long time. They are also very lightweight compared to other metals. Since they can be harvested almost anywhere, they are very cheap too.
Machine Tool Builders Push for Defense Production Act
AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology is lobbying the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the Defense Production Act (DPA) reforms and reauthorization, following U.S. Senate passage of the legislation this month.
“America’s national security is threatened by the erosion the recession has caused to our defense industrial base,” AMT president Douglas K. Woods explained. “This country’s manufacturing sector needs the type of support provided by the Defense Production Act if we are to continue our critical role in defense preparedness.”
Woods urged the House to approve the bill quickly. “Let’s hope the bill is passed by the House and signed by President Obama in the next couple of weeks. That will be a real sign that the Congress and the Administration are serious about getting manufacturing and this country back on the right track.”
The DPA is a 60-year-old program that gives the President broad power a) to require businesses to sign contracts or fulfill orders deemed necessary for national defense; b) to establish and enforce means of allocating materials, services, and facilities for national defense; and c) to control the civilian economy so that scarce and/or critical materials are available for national defense purpose.
The Act empowers the President to requisition property, allocate raw materials and dictate production levels to industry, institute wage and price controls, resolve labor disputes, control consumer and real estate credit, and various other authorities.
Though it’s decades old, the Act must be reauthorized periodically. The current version of the DPA is due to expire September 30.
Woods credited Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Ranking Member Richard Shelby (R-AL) for their 2009 effort to update the DPA. “The bipartisan leadership of Senators Dodd and Shelby and the broad support and swift action of the Senate illustrate the wide recognition that the DPA could be used now to help manufacturers hard hit by this economic downturn, particularly those that continue to have problems accessing credit,” said Woods.
Eugene Haffely, Jr., chief operating officer of Assembly & Test Worldwide, Inc., and a director of AMT, testified in support of DPA reforms in the Dodd-Shelby bill in a May 13.
“Tight credit continues to plague companies up and down the industrial production chain,” Haffely went on. “And without credit, business is at a standstill.”
Haffely said the loan and loan-guarantee program in the DPA bill will help shore up struggling companies critical to national security, thereby promoting economic growth and ensuring that we are not dependent on foreign sources for our defense needs.

World Auto Parts Suppliers look to USA
Global auto suppliers are still looking to the United States for growth, despite the North American industry’s recent struggles.
Mexico City’s Grupo Bocar is building a third injection-molding plant for its Plastic Tec group. Grupo Bocar was promoting its capabilities at the Management Briefing Seminars.
Italian auto suppliers, meanwhile, are touting their knowledge of Fiat S.p.A. Fiat took charge of Chrysler Group in June.
Fiat and Chrysler “are in an early limbo stage now, but there are opportunities. It is going to happen,” said Luigi Giachino, business development manager for Mecaprom Technologies Corp., of Bergamo, Italy, during an interview at the forum yesterday.
Mecaprom has opened its first suburban Detroit office. It is looking for a partner in the region. It wants to combine its knowledge of small engine development with Fiat with an established North American supplier.
The company is part of an outreach program through the Italian American Alliance for Business and Technology. The alliance centers around suppliers in Turin, Fiat’s home, and wants to make connections with Chrysler Group and its supply base.
Many of the alliance companies have had business in North America but expect to build on that now that Fiat will be working with Chrysler Group on future small vehicles, said alliance President Massimo Denipoti.
Grupo Bocar already is a direct supplier to U.S., European and Japanese carmakers with business units producing aluminum die cast parts, machined parts and plastics.
Plastic Tec made the first in-mold application of a textile skin for an auto interior part in North America for the Volkswagen Jetta. Jaime Puente, office manager at the supplier, said it also makes air vents for BMW’s plant in Spartanburg, S.C., replacing auto parts previously made in Europe.
Education and Kinetic Die Casting Company
Kinetic Die Casting Company believes that a well educated America, opens the opportunity to have a well educated workforce. Education is slipping in America. There are fewer graduates available for the jobs available. Most people graduating from High School, go directly into the workforce instead of to a University or College. A better educated America is a better educated source of working people.
For this reason, Kinetic Die Casting Company is helping to sponsoring a website aimed at financing the education of students in Louisiana. Louisiana’s Need Based Student Financial Assistance Program. The Louisiana Go Grant is a need-based financial aid program aimed at making college more affordable for students from moderate- and low-income families. Louisiana resident students who are eligible for and receive the federal Pell Grant may also be eligible for a Go Grant. The grant helps cover the difference between the actual cost of attending a public or private college in Louisiana and the amount of a student’s Pell Grant award.
Tool and Die Makers Skilled Trades Needed
The excerpt below is from Todd Cuson, M.A. Organizational Behavior, and a qualification officer in Arizona.
Most high school students have no idea what one can earn by learning a trade, “A journeyman generally earns between $28 and $32 an hour (up to $64,000 a year)–a pretty nice wage for a 23-year-old. Most states require a plumber to have 2 to 10 years of experience at the apprentice level to qualify as a journeyman. My neighbor attended a trade school. He is a tool and die maker. He learned the skill in night classes. After spending time as an apprentice, he opened his own shop.It is now a multi-million dollar business”. A competent person learning a skilled trade can easily achieve the American dream. We at 10 best Tucson are on a mission to find the best home service professionals in Tucson and share them with the community. By uniting community officials and business leaders under the common goal of higher quality trades in the labor pool, the ability for honest manufacturing companies to grow without compromising their excellent service records will be achievable. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao recently announced her “Skills to Build America’s Future” initiative. It “will reach out to a new generation of tradesmen and women and encourage them to use their skills and talents to find careers that will help to pave the way to a fulfilling career and bright financial future” (Doleta).
This message must be made clear to the future of our local labor market and to current workers who are considering changing careers. These skills that are currently cultivated by a unique few are ones to be proud of, and can be quite lucrative as well. Becoming a journeyman and with an entrepreneurial co-education or an enterprising spirit practically ensures an exalted status of financial wealth. These are pragmatic messages that must be presented to our youth. Our businesses can grow while maintaining their integrity and providing the absolute best possible service to home owners and customers. They deserve it. Keep a watchful eye on this topic. 10 best Tucson will be the catalyst for change.
