News at Scandic

Scandic goes to jail!

We are volunteering our engineering, prototyping and machining talents to help the National Park Service renovate the locks on the cells at Alcatraz. The 1932 technology is wearing out, and replacement parts just don’t exist. Scandic sent a team to survey the work, and we are now helping the general contractor replace the master cell locking system components. From making CAD files, to using our waterjet technology and wire EDMs, to conventional machining, Scandic is helping to restore The Rock.


Calling all engineering students…

Scandic is pleased to offer complimentary design and prototyping services to university-level engineering students for their class projects. We have recently worked with students from these fine institutions:

New Equipment and Expanded Services

Scandic has expanded its line of equipment, and now offers:

Larger Stamping up to 150 tons with a 20 inch wide strip. Our larger presses are all straight side, double crank with precision servo feeds and tonnage monitors. This technology allows us to use carbide tooling when needed.

Hardware Insertion with a new Haeger 824 One-Touch-3 insertion press for high-volume PEM insertion.

Waterjet blanking with the addition of an Omax precision waterjet. The waterjet is part a quick-turn cell, designed to improve lead times for prototypes. Waterjet technology produces blanks in seconds. The range of materials is almost infinite, including all steels, beryllium copper, and aluminum. Scandic stocks a full range of stainless steel and BeCu in thickness from .002″ to .080″, in annealed to spring temper, for immediate use. Ask us about the advantages over laser cutting or EDM.

Clean room packaging and passivation of your finished parts. We offer a wide variety of packaging styles and materials.

Ultrasonic cleaning of parts, along with our passivation gives you parts that are clean and ready to use.

About Us

Since 1969, Scandic has been a leader in coil springs, fourslide stampings, precision progressive stampings, and CNC wireforming.

Scandic is the largest spring and stamping company in Northern California. Today our team includes multiple engineers, tool and die makers, and veteran technicians who understand all spring materials.

For inspection-intensive processes, we have automated comparators that measure 100% of all features, on multiple samples, and output the data to statistical analysis programs. This allows us to efficiently assemble PPAP submissions. Scandic now produces larger sheetmetal stampings (to 20 inches wide), in-die tapping on your stamped parts, and automatic hardware insertion.

The kinds of parts we make for our customers include battery contacts, EMI shielding, ESD contacts, spring clips, latches and retainers, and belleville washers.

We have particular expertise in working with spring materials such as beryllium copper, which are heat-treated after forming to attain their highest spring temper.
