  Serial production of superconducting cavities for European-XFEL was successfully started at E.ZANON at the end of last year. The production rate (3-4 cavities a week) allows us to summarize the results and present the statistics of industrial cavity fabrication. Many parameters have been traced during different steps of cavity production. The most interesting of them, as cavity length, frequency, field flatness and eccentricity, are presented and discussed. The last results of new preparation cycles development in the frame of E-XFEL projects is also included

  A new horizontal electropolishing (EP) facility has been implemented by Ettore Zanon SpA for the series production of the EXFEL cavities produced by the company. According to EXFEL specification a bulk EP of at least 100 micron is the first step of the surface treatment for high performances. Particular attention has been dedicated to find the best configuration during qualification of the system. Correlation between process variables, RF tests at room temperature at Zanon and vertical RF tests at 2 K at DESY have been investigated and the Niobium removal optimized. The facility has been designed for industrial scope, in order to guarantee the required quality and production rate of 4 cavities per week. One of the most important aspects has been the system automation to have complete control of the process.
