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.
