As In-Kind contributor to the E-XFEL project, CEA is committed to the procurement of around one third (31) cold beam position monitors (BPM) of the re-entrant RF cavities type and to the assembly on the Saclay site of the 101 cryomodules of the superconducting linac. Each cryomodule is equipped with a beam position monitor connected to a quadrupole at the high-energy end of the cavity string. The industrial process of those BPMs, used in an ultra-clean environment at cryogenic temperature, includes several steps and involves a quality control in collaboration with industrial partners. This paper describes the different steps of the re-entrant cavity BPM fabrication process: machining, copper coating, thermal treatment, EB welding, cleaning and mounting in clean room on the quadrupole. Problems encountered and the lessons learnt will be also reported.
