  Marui Galvanizing Co. Ltd. has been studying Vertical Electro-Polishing (VEP) on Nb superconducting accelerator cavity with the goal of mass-production and cost-reduction of Electro-Polishing (EP) process in collaboration with KEK and CEA Saclay. And we invented variable-geometry wings cathode for VEP process to get uniform distributions of both electric current and EP solution flow. Using this cathode, we performed various tests of VEP with Nb single-cell cavities. In this article, we will report the results of vertical test of Nb single-cell cavity which is VEP’ed by cathode with variable-geometry wings.
