| Abstract |
The European-XFEL X-Ray laser facility is located in Hamburg. Since its commissioning in September 2017, this large X-ray laser opens new research opportunities for industrial users and scientists. For many beam diagnostic devices ultra-high vacuum components with high mechanical precision and additional strict requirements on particle cleanliness were produced. A vacuum chamber for the bunch compressor (BC) with a cross section of 400 mm*40.5 mm made of stainless steel blocks 1.4429 (316 LN) has been installed. These chambers have inte-grated flange-connections for large VATSEAL® gaskets. The tolerances for these flanges are extremely tight to ensure save vacuum tight sealing. This contribution will report of a new technology for such large rectangular or other large flange surfaces. Furthermore this contribution will compare the present with this new technology. This new technology can be used as well for other vacuum flange metals like alumini-um or titanium. Using of this technology for applications under special conditions, like particle free applications due to the non-lubricated conditions, are conceivable.
