  CPI has been designing and manufacturing fundamental power couplers for superconducting accelerators for over a dozen years. We have manufactured approximately 200 power couplers of 16 different designs. Power coupler frequencies have ranged from 175 MHz to 3.9 GHz and power levels have ranged from 5 kW to 500 kW average power. We have developed and qualified several key manufacturing processes including a high-RRR copper plating process and a titanium nitride coating process. In addition, we have established uniform quality control and inspection processes which ensure that the power couplers will meet the requirements for the intended use in superconducting accelerators. These processes have been developed, improved and/or qualified in collaboration with colleagues at superconducting accelerator facilities throughout the world. This paper will provide an overview of these critical manufacturing and quality control processes.
