  RIKEN and JASRI already completed the construction of XFEL/SPring8. Recently the facility was named “SACLA” (SPring-8 Angstrom Compact Free Electron LAser). The commissioning team succeeded in acceleration of 8 GeV electron beam and observation of the undulator light of 0.8 angstrom wavelength in March 2011. Now the accelerator is stably operated for the XFEL commissioning. In this project, a C-band (5712 MHz) choke mode accelerating structures and C-band RF pulse compressors are employed to obtain a high acceleration gradient of more than 35 MeV/m. We completed the fabrication of 128 accelerating structures, 64 RF pulse compressors, and 64 units of waveguide components and conducted RF measurements on them until May 2010. We report the result of the mass-production of these 64 C-Band units.
