  1. LCLS-II Cryomodules Production Plansat Fermilab Tug Arkan

  2. Introduction • 2 partners labs are collaborating with SLAC for the LCLS-II project: • Fermilab: • Assemble 1 prototype 1.3 GHz CW module (May – December 2015) • Assemble 16 production 1.3GHz CW modules (mid FY16 - mid FY18) • Assemble 2 3.9GHz CW modules (late FY18) • JLAB: • Assemble 1 prototype 1.3 GHz CW module • Assemble 17 production 1.3GHz CW modules • Total: • 35 Cryomodules (1.3GHz CW) • 2 Cryomodules (3.9GHz CW)

  3. LCLS-II Prototype Module Assembly • Use existing ILC R&D 1.3GHz cavities: • Process and test bare cavities • Helium vessel welding to the cavity • Test some of dressed cavities in HTS and some in VTS post helium vessel welding • Cavity String Assembly • Cold Mass Assembly Phase-I • Cold Mass Assembly Phase II, III • Cryomodule test (CMTF)

  4. Planned LCLS-II Production Module Workflow at Fermilab • Receive dressed, ready to be tested in vertical test stand (VTS) cavities from the vendors (Beamline under vacuum) • Visual Incoming Inspection at IB4 • Install, leak check and test the cavities in VTS at IB1 • Qualified Cavities go to CAF-MP9 cleanroom for cold end coupler assembly. Non qualified cavities will be HPR'ed and re-tested. • Some Cavities are then outfitted with tuner and magnetic shielding outside of the cleanroom at MP9 and then go to HTS at MDB for horizontal test. Other cavities will stay in the cleanroom and ready to be assembled into a cavity string. • 8 qualified cavities, Magnet Spool Tube, BPM, Gate Valves, Interconnecting Bellows: Cavity String Assembly at CAF-MP9 Cleanroom • Cold Mass Assembly Phase-I at CAF-MP9 • Cold Mass Assembly Phase II, III and prep for transport to CMTF at CAF-ICB • Cryomodule Test at CMTF • Prepare and Ship Module to SLAC at CAF-ICB

  5. Parts Inventory Management • Partner labs has agreed on a joint procurement plan to acquire the cryomodule components. Each lab is responsible for the procurement of a certain part required for the modules • Fundamental power couplers: Receive ready to be room temp conditioning or ready to be assembled onto qualified cavities • All vacuum parts will be 100% leak checked • Stainless steel parts and hardware will be checked for permeability (10% sampling) • Hardware mechanical QC with gauge thread etc. (10% sampling) • Critical dimensions checks for all the parts and sub-assemblies (CMM, optical, laser tracker etc.) • Responsible engineer will sign off the incoming parts routing form with conformance and non conformance reports attached. • Accepted parts go to storage. Rejected Parts require decision for further action. • Accepted parts will be sent to the production floor as kits. Parts/Hardware will be cleaned (UHV, UHV&particle free, standard) and sorted at the production areas.

  24. Module Assembly Weekly Workflow Module #n Module #n+2 Module #n+1 Cleanroom Assembly: Start: Week #1 Complete: Week #4 Cleanroom Assembly: Start: Week #9 Complete: Week #12 Cleanroom Assembly: Start: Week #5 Complete: Week#8 Cold Mass Assembly: Start: Week #13 Complete Week #20 Cold Mass Assembly: Start: Week #9 Complete Week #16 Cold Mass Assembly: Start: Week #5 Complete: Week #12 4 weeks throughput 4 weeks throughput It takes ~12 (60 days) weeks to assemble a module. Excluding any sick modules that need to be reworked, there will be max 3 modules in the production line at the same time

  25. CAF Mechanical Tech Workforce for LCLS-II • Cleanroom Techs (Total of 6 are needed) • Current: • 3 cleanroom techs, fully trained and experienced • Goal: • Hire 3 new contract mechanical techs and train them • Cold Mass Techs (Total of 8 are needed) • Current: • 2 cold mas techs, fully trained and experienced • Goal: • Hire 6 new contract mechanical techs and train them

  26. Summary • Cryomodule Assembly Facility (CAF) infrastructure require minor upgrades for LCLS-II modules assembly. We are in the process of making the necessary upgrades. • Some of the existing fixtures need to be modified. Some new fixtures need to be designed and fabricated. • CAF core mechanical technician group is small but very well trained and experienced. • Qualified manpower especially touch labor shortage is a major issue. Current plan is to hire contract mechanical technicians and train them. Training period is ~1 year for a fully qualified cleanroom tech and ~6 months for a cold mass assembly tech. • Contract tech high turnover rate is a risk • Support groups (electrical, QC, material handling) are also understaffed • We are in the process of hiring full time and contract staff to remedy understaffing problem • We will test the CAF infrastructure feasibility during the prototype module assembly
