This CFT cover the manufacturing of 8 injection kicker vacuum chambers and 4 diagnostic shaker vacuum chambers. All
vacuum chambers are made by an assembly of an Alumina body (Al2O3 high purity), ~ 320 mm long for the kickers and ~230
mm long for the shakers, on which some Kovar end pieces are brazed to allow the welding of a stainless steel edge welded
vacuum bellows, for connection to upstream and downstream chambers.
The bidders shall be capable to:
- Manufacture the chambers ceramic bodies in a single piece (no glazing is allowed).
- Perform the metalisation of Alumina pieces before brazing
- Manufacture Kovar end pieces to within a tolerance =< 0.1mm
- Brazing of the Kovar pieces to the Alumina chamber body
- Supply edge welded bellows, according ESRF specifications
- Weld bellows to the brazed pre-assembly
- Quality controls including:
- Vacuum leak test
- Dimensional control
