All CCM manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001 certified and some of them are TS 16949 certified. This guarantees that we have a consistent and effective quality system in place to meet our customers' quality needs. We place great importance on defining and documenting these needs for each part at the beginning of a project in order to minimize the learning curve once production is underway.

Mold and machine set-up and operating conditions are part of our controlled documentation system. Manufacturing quality and inspection forms are displayed at the press together with sample parts and contain all the relevant information required for our press operators and quality inspectors to determine part consistency and quality. We work with our customers to establish appropriate SPC and SQC requirements. All of our parts are inspected in-house and specifications are verified with a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM).

Quality issues that do arise are thoroughly investigated, documented, and corrective actions are initiated.

Part quality is very much dependent on the condition of the mold. At the end of each run, we clean, inspect, lubricate, and spray the mold with rust preventative. Last shots are retained and inspected. If necessary, mold repairs are initiated before wear degenerates into a quality issue.
