  For the EXFEL a specification for the cavitiy preparation procedures (R1)was set up and handed to the industrial companies. Basing on this specification companies hard ware as well as process flows were set up. Beside this specified part of the preparation technique the companies personal needed to be educated and the processes ramped up. To check the quality of the infrastructure, status of education of personal and correct set up of process flows, so called Dummy (DCV) - , Reference (RCV ) and Pre-series (PCV) cavities were assigned. We report on the general strategy applied for the EXFEL technology transfer on cavity preparation and the results obtained on the qualification cavities.

  In the Specification for XFEL Cavity preparation (R1) two different preparation sequences are presented. Research Instruments Company as one of the two companies contracted for XFEL cavity production and preparation has chosen the so called “final EP” cycle. Major infrastructure components like EP facility and the BCP facility were pre- qualified. This existing and the new set up areas like the cleanroom are distributed over the ground area of the industrial park Bergisch Gladbach. The process flow given in the DESY specification needed adaptation to this scenario. Additional infrastructure beside the once specified needed to be set up to ensure the same quality of processes even with a changed work flow. The general lay out of the facility, matched work flow of preparation and test results of resonators processed by RI company in their infrastructure will be reported.

  For the European XFEL more than 800 Cavities are manufactured by industrial partners. Each cavity is housed in an individual cryo vessel, the so called helium tank. All vessels are made from titanium and manufactured by industry as well. The cavity, welded into its helium tank, is a pressure loaded part and has to follow the pressure equipment directive - PED (97/23/EC). Setting up a series production of cavities and helium tanks by different vendors according given standards, was the task of the EXFEL WPG-1 LINAC-WP04. In cooperation with the TUEV-Nord as the notified body, DESY is responsible for the qualification of design, material in use and reasonable tests to get a certificate for pressure bearing parts.  
 
MOP049 Progress and Experiences of Series Production of Helium Tanks With DESY as a Subcontractor for RI 231

  DESY acts as a subcontractor for helium tanks, for one of the cavity manufacturer in charge, for the EXFEL cavity production. Here the full responsibility of production, quality and warranty of these parts is at DESY. Therefore on 400 out of the total of 800 helium tanks, DESY has to set up a logistic of incoming inspection, documentation, storage and distribution. Special effort is made to archive a free of doubts interconnection and integration of the cavity into the helium tank. After more than 300 units produced a review and statistic is provided.

  In the Specification for XFEL Cavity preparation (R1) two different preparation sequences are presented. Ettore Zanon Company as one of the two companies contracted for XFEL cavity production and preparation has chosen the so called BCP flash cycle. To fulfill the requested work flow and quality of infrastructure and processes, the company set up a complete new infrastructure in refurbished fabrication halls. The layout of the facility, set up of work flow of preparation and test results of resonators processed by E.Zanon in their infrastructure will be reported.
