TI - Lesson Learned on the Manufacturing of Fundamental Power Couplers for the European XFEL Accelerator J2 - Proc. of International Conference on RF Superconductivity (SRF2015), Whistler, BC, Canada, Sept. 13-18, 2015 AB - In this paper we described lesson learned during the production of Fundamental Power Couplerfor the European XFEL accelerator and different steps necessaries for obtaining a rate of 8 couplers a week. From the manufacturing of individual components up to the RF conditioning. This paper also propose some possible ways to be optimized for a future mass production of such components. With comparison of processes and adaptation which could benefit to an increase rate or a more secure program. 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. This analysis is based on a current production of more than 500 couplers PB - JACoW CY - Geneva, Switzerland SP - 1370 EP - 1372 KW - controls KW - status KW - FEL KW - cryomodule KW - SRF DA - 2015/12 PY - 2015 SN - 978-3-95450-178-6 DO - 10.18429/JACoW-SRF2015-THPB096 UR - http://srf2015.vrws.de/papers/thpb096.pdf ER -
