High Quality Low Cost Die Castings
KenWalt
Die Casting Company economically produces Aluminum and Zinc Die
Castings designed to minimize and sometimes completely eliminate
secondary
machining and finishing requirements. The die castings shown include
transformer housings, regulator diaphragm retainers, cover plates and a
visual display assembly.
Innovative
Undercut Designs
KenWalt Die Casting Company successfully meets these special customer requirements by incorporating slides and
special core pulls into the die casting design process. The die castings shown highlight only a few
of the many possibilities such as electrical motor housings,
regulator bodies and switch control die cast housing parts.
Integrally
Die Cast Inserts
For special
die casting design characteristics that may not be obtainable with standard die casting alloys, integrally cast
inserts can be an economical method of achieving the die casting engineering design characteristics desired such as:
extra hardness at points of wear, special bearing qualities, passages
for liquids or gases, electrical or heat insulating properties, superior
electrical conductivity, resiliency, etc.
SERVING INDUSTRIES WORLDWIDE
For over 40 years and counting, KenWalt Die Casting Company continues to provide a wide
variety of industries
with high quality aluminum and zinc die cast parts delivered on-time at globally competitive
prices:
Automotive
& Truck Castings – Axle spacer rings, spring brake diaphragm plates, shim
plates, adapter plates, luggage rack retainers, truck air gladhands and
electrical connectors, housings, shock absorber retainer plates, etc.
Automotive Aftermarket Castings – Automotive side view mirrors,
air covers, tail light bezels, gas caps, etc.
Motorcycle Aftermarket Castings – drive chain
housings, handle bar grips, carburetors, cover plates, etc.
Product Design Development – Our customer produced
truck rear axle air spring brake actuators. A small aluminum hub was originally
pressed into a two piece welded steel plate to produce the main air diaphragm
support component. In coordination with our customer’s engineering department
we were able to produce the hub and plate as a one-piece pressure tight casting
able to meet all reliability and life time cycle requirements.
Medical
Equipment Castings – Electrical motor housings and end bells, air/oxygen supply
pumps, sleep apnea castings – air volute type pumps, assembly castings, etc.
Industrial
Equipment Castings – Servo control and electronic housings, heat sink plates
and enclosures, CNC tool holders, hydraulic manifolds, machinery
components, nameplates, etc.
Commercial Castings – Speaker frames, washroom dispensers, irrigation hardware,
3-hole paper punches, traffic signal enclosures, flow meter rotors, etc.
Product Design Development – The six (6)
subject flow meter components (rotors) had been produced in the Midwest for the
customer with rejection rates exceeding 30 percent (30%). The castings
require very high tolerance machining and a hard anodize finish (518 Aluminum
alloy). Correction to the casting gating system and casting process reduced
the rejection rate after machining to less than ½ percent (0.5%) and the customer’s
costs have been reduced along with their ability to meet their customer's delivery requirements.
As a result, our customer's casting requirements have since more than doubled (2X).
Aerospace
/Aircraft Castings – Actuator housings, solenoid and motor enclosures, end
bells, instrument housings, fuel flow valves, seating components, food
tray blocks, stowage door covers, armrest and hinge brackets, handles and
latches, etc.
Product Design Development – Original material specification for
manufacture of the customer’s armrest hinge brackets was 380 type Aluminum. The
armrest is approximately 18 inches long and if not raised when a passenger is
exiting the seat significant torque force can be applied to the bracket if
bumped, resulting in it’s failure. We recommended the use of a significantly
higher strength die cast alloy (ZA-27) and no part failures have since
occurred. As a result, the recommended material has been utilized on all subsequent hinge
designs.
TOP STORY Special Report MANUFACTURING San
Fernando Valley Business Journal (www.sfvbj.com)
(March 28, 2011)
KenWalt
Die Casting is honored to have received the
prestigeous Manufacturing
Leadership Award for being one of the Top 20 Manufacturers
from the San Fernando Valley Business Journal as well as receiving a Certificate of Recognition
from the State of
California Assembly as one of the Region's Top Manufacturing
Companies and in addition for being spotlighted in the
newspaper's Current Edition Top
Story Special Report on Manufacturing:
"Manufacturers
Making It Work"
and
"Going Green"
"KenWalt
Die Casting, a very traditional industry, is using solar energy
(alternative energy) to help power its facility in Sun Valley into the
future."
In
line with our continuing commitment to make a positive impact in
society and improve lives and our environment, KenWalt Die Casting
Company is expanding upon it's 'Commitment
to Excellence'
by further
reducing our environmental impact in our newly expanded
offices, secondary facilities, new inventory facility and our
Aluminum
and Zinc
Die Casting production facility.
"Energy
conservation and recycling raw materials are two key factors in our
energy conservation efforts to enhance our activities and improve lives
and our environment. By recycling and reusing 100% of our aluminum and
zinc alloy materials as well as pallets, packaging
containers, filters and hydraulic oil used in our aluminum and
zinc die casting process, we are making a big difference", says
KenWalt's Quality Manager and Co-Owner Kenny Zaucha.
For years
KenWalt has continued to implement energy conservation actions
to
conserve materials and energy, such as using energy efficient furnaces
to melt aluminum and zinc alloys and reusing machine lubrication oils
and die sprays. From turning off little used lights to early
work schedules that avoid peek energy usage, KenWalt's
employees, both
individually and as a team, contribute to energy conservation and
improving our environment.
New for 2011,
KenWalt
Die Casting Company purchased and installed a NEW 35.9 kW SOLAR SYSTEM
thanks to the cooperation and efforts of SolarCity Corporation (SOLARCITY), Los Angeles Department
of Building & Safety
(LADBS), Los Angeles
Department of Water and Power (LADWP),
and US
Government Tax Credit Incentives. The installation of our new
clean,
renewable solar energy system will lower our aluminum and zinc die
casting operating costs, enable us to remain competitive both
nationally and internationally, continue expanding and creating more
jobs, and help us pass on those cost savings
to our customers.
*1st of 395
Aluminum Die Casting Companies in
the USA to go Solar based on preliminary research
KenWalt Die
Casting ships high quality, low cost die castings overseas to our
customer in China!
Another example of
how KenWalt
Die Casting Company's knowledge, professionalism and experience
produces cost savings and success for our customers in the USA and
Overseas!
An
example of what another die casting company had to say about us:
"
Thank you so much for the sample parts..We
hope the anodizing outcome will help our customer."
(One
month later) "Just to let you know that the parts anodized
beautifully. They
(our customer) were happy with the results and we were awarded the
contract. I
hope we are in a position to be as helpful as you folks were in
getting this job. It's nice to know there are a few of us who work
together left out there."
D.S.
What some
of our satisfied customers had to say about us:
"For
us to continue a commitment of 98% on-time delivery for our
customers, we must first receive this expectation from our vendors.
Your performance has been 100%! All items shipped on-time with 0
defects. Amazing."
F.G.
"Please
thank all of your people for their efforts. The completed
product delivered to us is beautiful. We foresee many more orders!"
D.U.
"We
are very grateful for the informative discussion and tour of your
die casting facility. We were genuinely impressed with your helpful
attitude, knowledge of business and ability to explain the casting
process. Now we feel confident that our companies are in good hands!"
A.E.
"Enclosed
is a VCR tape we made of your casting in our x-ray machine.
Porosity shows in these as white specs. As you can see from the tape,
we couldn't find any in your product, so we have a winner here."
D.
"I
received a letter from our customer that awarded us with a "Preferred
Vendor Status". We met our delivery schedule and the product is
performing as expected.That could not have happened without
KenWalt...following through and making sure we met our delivery
schedules. Thanks, I've been asked to bid on the next
contract."
