Four new tuning machines were developed and built in a collaborating effort among FNAL, KEK and DESY. Two machines were commissioned at DESY in a close teamwork with FNAL. For several months, these machines have been used regularly for the automatic tuning of different types of cavities for FLASH. Due to this operating experience and the requirements for the European XFEL cavity Specification, it was necessary to implement the following improvements: improve the precision of the eccentricity measurement; change the tuning sequence according to the different production stages in the cavity fabrication and preparation process; review and change the machine access procedures according to the safety aspects of the EC Directive of Machinery. These improvements required changes in both the mechanical parts developed by DESY and the electronics and software developed by FNAL. We report in detail about the commissioning, our tuning experience and the necessary improvements.
