	In this paper we report on the capability of Ettore Zanon S.p.A. (EZ) to implement a EXFEL 1,3 GHz SRF cavities production system. In order to assure the series efficient repeatability of the product, this system is based on work team, composed of people with different skills, qualified infrastructures and technical procedures. A detailed study of the different work phases of the production cycle has been performed in advance, highlighting the technical difficulties and the production constraints. Based on this result, infrastructures and processes have been optimized to grant the specified quality and time/cost requirements and procedures and operating instructions, where the most complexes and delicate phases as well as the responsibilities and acceptance criteria are investigated, have been introduced. Qualification operations and eight pre-series cavities have proven EZ capability of fulfilling the imposed requirements. The above described manufacturing system allows nowadays a production rate of 4 cavities per week. EZ future developments involve minimizing time and costs while keeping the highest quality standard.

	A technique to measure the temperature of Niobium components in vacuum during Electron Beam Welding (EBW) operation is presented and results obtained on the large scale cavity production for the European XFEL are discussed. During the EBW process, the knowledge of the components temperature during the welding operation could help both for the better choice of the welding parameters and for the optimization of the production cycle. In collaboration with the Italian firm Ettore Zanon (EZ), we developed a system able to measure the temperature of Nb components in vacuum during EBW operation using a IR pyrometer placed outside the vacuum chamber through an appropriate vacuum viewport. In the paper the experience of this device during the production of Nb components for the XFEL 1.3 GHz cavity production is discussed.
