TI - Operation Experience with Half Cell Measurement Machine and Cavity Tuning Machine in 3 Years of European XFEL Cavity Series Production J2 - Proc. of International Conference on RF Superconductivity (SRF2015), Whistler, BC, Canada, Sept. 13-18, 2015 AB - For the European XFEL superconducting Cavity series production at both cavity vendors’ four manufacturing machines for production key functions, HAZEMEMA and CTM, are supplied by DESY. Among three years of cavity production in two companies a lot of experience is gathered about influence of surroundings and production quality on cycle times, machine drop outs, general stability time of machines and parts subject to wear. Significant factors on cycle time for tuning operation like temperature stability and drift during tuning and measurements, precision of cell trimming before welding and tuning and generally geometrical factors are shown. RF aspects of tuning and production quality control as additional measurements for TM011-mode to estimate quality of its damping is presented. Performed full Cavity RF measurements exceeds XFEL specifications gives a possibility for additional quality control on welding shrinkage stability and it’s homogeneously distribution. The use of HAZEMEMA and CTM to assess the impact of asymmetric trimming, including calculation of it’s influence on the higher-order modes, is shown.
