  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.

  The safe operation of cavities and couplers in the European XFEL accelerator environment is secured by a new technical interlock (TIL) design, which is based on the XFEL crate standard (MTCA(TM).4). The new interlock is located inside the accelerator tunnel. Several remote test capabilities ensure the correct operation of sensors for light, temperature and free electrons. Due to the space costs and the very high number of channels, the electronic concept was moved from a conservative, mostly analog electronic approach, with real comparators and thresholds, to a concept, where the digitizing of the signals is done at a very early stage. Filters, thresholds and comparators are moved into the digital part. The usage of an FPGA and an additional watchdog increase the flexibility dramatically, with respect to be as reliable as possible. An overview of the system is shown.
MTCA (Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture) is a standard defined by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG, www.picmg.org).
