The quality control of the inner surface of superconducting RF cavities is essential in order to assure high accelerating gradient and quality factor. Ettore Zanon S.p.A. (EZ) has implemented in the serial production an optical system that use an high-resolution camera, in order to detect various types of defects. This system is added to a grinding machine, that was specifically designed and built to repair imperfections of the cavities inner surface. This inspection and repair system is applied to recover performance limited cavities of the 1.3 GHz European XFEL project, where surface irregularities are detected, either by the Obacht inspection system at Desy or the optical system at EZ. The optical system and the grinding procedure are qualified using two series cavities limited in gradient and showing different types of surface defects. The performances of these cavities have been recovered to reach the specifications of the project. Until now, all the series XFEL cavities built by EZ, repaired with this technique, have shown an accelerating gradient well above the EXFEL goal.
