 About
Caran Precision
For over 40 years
Caran Precision Engineering and Manufacturing has broken the mold
of what a stamping facility could be and what it can do. From the
beginning we set out to meet the same rigid specifications and tolerances
of machined parts with quality precision stamping, metal finishing
and assembly.
Today, Tier 1 and Tier 2 companies know Caran Precision as a premier
certified to ISO standards manufacturer and primary supplier of
precision stampings. We consistently meet and exceed our customer's
exact specifications and performance requirements. Our
reputation as an international leader in precision design has been
earned the same way our metal-stamped components are produced: by
stretching the limits.
Better
Design
Caran's state-of-the-art tooling design system provides enhanced
design and support to its in-house manufacturing of progressive
and transfer tooling.
We can take any idea for a precision part from inspiration to
production. Whether dies, tools or fixtures, the Caran Precision
design department offers complete design assistance, engineering
and technical support for each stage of the process. Our
highly skilled staff, which includes some of our industry's most
respected engineers, designers and researchers, some at PhD-level,
allows us to provide a full range of services, including research
and development of new products and technologies.
Better Production
The Caran Precision Continuous Improvement Program allows us to
replicate machined, impacted and forged prototypes with high volume,
complex stampings that meet the most demanding tolerances, timelines
and budgets.
With over 150
different presses with capabilities of 5 to 1,000 tons, we can
produce components in material thicknesses of .005 to .150 inches.
Our Minster 300 and 500-ton straight side, E-2 heavy stampers,
and other straight side presses, give us unmatched versatility
in producing larger, intricately detailed stampings with close
tolerances in high volume. For secondary operation and subassembly,
our 22 to 75-ton OBI presses can accommodate high volume runs
with meticulous quality. We can form numerous shapes from a variety
of materials, such as stainless steel, copper, carbon steel, zirconium,
inconel, nickel and aluminum.
Better Solutions
The promise of Caran precision is clear: whatever anyone can do,
we can do it better. We can produce components that match the
tightest tolerances and budgets, we can turn around high volume
orders within the shortest of lead times, and we can come up with
new ideas or processes that can solve the most difficult problems.
But no matter
what we have achieved to date - such as our success in conquering
the manufacturing complexities of the laser-welded nuclear reactor
fuel rod spacer - nothing is as important as that one component
you must have produced.

for you.
Better
Quality
The Caran Quality Improvement Program has the approval of the
world's most demanding companies. Caran Precision is certified
to ISO standards and meets the requirements of Nuclear 10CFR50,
Appendix B and NQA-1. We use Advanced Product Quality Planning
(APQP), control plans, capability and product validation studies
along with lean manufacturing and Kanban systems to meet every
challenging requirement and exact specification. As part of our
relentless drive to reach a zero defect level we also employ highly
disciplined Six Sigma methodologies.
Our Quality
Improvement program is all-encompassing; skilled inspectors carefully
check every step of the manufacturing process, statistical process
control implementation uses computer monitoring to maintain optimum
precision and exact tolerances, and image analysis equipment is
used to inspect and test production from prototype to final product.
Whether the
job is extremely difficult or requires high volume production,
Caran consistently comes closest to perfection.
