  For the XFEL accelerator, Thales, RI research Instrument and LAL are working on the manufacturing, assembly and conditioning of Fundamental power couplers. 670 couplers has been manufactured. The main characteristics of these couplers are remained at 1.3 GHz. The paper describes the full production activity from the starting of the program We describe the lesson learned from a mass production of FPC coupler and different steps necessaries for obtaining a rate up to 10 couplers a week. we propose also some other way to be optimized for a future possible mass production of such components. With comparison of processes and adaptation which could benefit to an increase rate, if needed, including some of them which could be studies from the coupler definition to the manufacturing process in order to obtain a stable and possible increased rate or lower cost of production by decreasing the risks on programs. The status of the production curve during the program is also given

  For the LCLS-II project, Thales and RI research Instrument are working on the manufacturing and assembly of the Fundamental Power Couplers. The paper describes the production of the Fundamental Power Couplers for the LCLS-II project. The main characteristics of these couplers are remained at 1.3 GHz. It describes the main challenges to be overcome principally on the Warm Internal conductor, with a thickness of copper of 150μm. The results obtained on this coating We describe the results obtained on the prototype phase and the status of the serial production on the date of the paper.

  During cold RF tests of the European XFEL (EXFEL) cavities at DESY it was observed that the damping of the second monopole mode (TM011) showed the largest variation, which was sometimes up to 2-3 times lower than the originally allowed limit. It was concluded that this TM011-damping degradation was caused by cavity geometry deviation within the specified mechanical tolerances. The particular influence of different mechanical parameters was analyzed and additional RF measurements were carried out to find the most critical geometry parameters. Stability of the equator welding and regularity of chemical treatment were investigated for different cavity cells. In spite of the high fabrication rate during EXFEL cavity mass production the TM011 suppression was improved to an acceptable level.
