Customer Success Story
Contact Kinetic Die Casting Company 818-982-9200 if you would like us to die cast your new product.
Cinema Products Corporation
3211 South La Cienega Boulevard
Los Angeles California 90016
Produced the waist mounted camera harness for the movie industry. Kinetic Die Casting Company was contacted by Cinema Products to look at a revolutionary new aluminum locking mechanism for their product. There were 10 items that created the locking mechanism consisting of Pivots, Pawls and Locks for the left and right side of the harness. We made aluminum die casting tooling for them the cost was about $50,000.
The weight of the 10 parts was very light because of their material choice, but they ran into some issues that made 380 aluminum a poor choice for the alloy. Units were failing in the field. We discovered it was because of the limited impact strength of 380 aluminum of 3 foot pounds. We suggested another die casting material, #3 zinc alloy, which has an impact strength greater than 40 foot pounds.
Cinema Products believed they were stuck at an impasse to pay another $50,000 for zinc die casting tooling. Kinetic Die Casting was able to produce zinc parts using the aluminum die casting tooling, saving them several thous ands of dollars.
If you had a die casting part failure in the past, contact Kinetic Die Casting Company for assistance 818-982-9200.

Die Casting Alloys
 Kinetic Die Casting Company has helped many customers develop new products.
There are many factors singular to the die casting process that are needed to be considered such as product strengths, draft angles, gate areas, material types, material flow, slide features, undercuts, wall thicknesses and material weights. Kinetic Die Casting Company makes die casting parts in zinc. Kinetic Die Casting in the past specialized in making Aluminum Die Casting Parts, but over the past five years, we have been making more die casting parts in ZINC ALLOYs. We have a web page dedicated to zinc die casting alloys ( http://www.kineticdiecasting.com/zinc.html) Take a few moments to review the differences in the various zinc die casting alloys. For 18 pages of Alloy Data, more information than most people ever need, review this PDF. ( http://www.kineticdiecasting.com/Alloy_Data.pdf ) Contact us 818-982-9200 if you have technical questions regarding die casting materials. We will be happy to help you decide which die casting material is best for your product or application. |
