QUALITY CONTROL

Superior's Quality Control Department is staffed and equipped to comply with
military quality assurance standard MIL-I-45208 as well as the international
ISO-9000 standard for manufacturing excellence.

Superior is Certified and Registered to ISO 9001:2000 and
is AS9100 Rev A Compliant.
All activities, from incoming inspection of materials to final inspection of end products, are inspected and documented. Certification of all outside processing
and raw materials are provided by vendors and are kept at Superior. Also,
products are approved prior to shipment by U.S. government inspectors based
on Superiors 100% QA rating for more than 10 years!

Through the years, Superior has been adding to its manufacturing and testing capabilities to provide total in-house control of the quality of its increasingly sophisticated mechanical and electromechanical assemblies. Superior employs instruments such as CCM measuring machines, hardness testers, timers,
calipers, pressure and vacuum meters, paint and plating thickness-measuring equipment to ensure conformance to specified tolerances.

All tools are calibrated on a regular basis and are traceable to NIST. In addition to the mechanical measurement capabilities, Superior's QC Department is also equipped to test electronic assemblies.

The following are areas of inspection capabilities:
- heat treatment
- plating, painting
- machining, turning
- broaching
- welding, brazing
- casting
- gearing
