Target alignment tolerance Cell-to-cell alignment – A micron-level Bookshelving – 100 microradian Bending over a structure – 10 micron level – Can be corrected after bonding, as long as low- order smooth bow 2014/11/23CLIC Structure Review6

Alignment mechanism Disk stacking – Best with Outside diameter + reference V-block Short-stack based or long-stack at once – Others Alignment pin, Self fitting Less precise and worry about sticking during bonding Quad or half – Few experience 2014/11/23CLIC Structure Review7

Alignment mechanisms 2014/11/23CLIC Structure Review8 Self fitting for several micron Need care to keep stack Quad / Half several to 10μm? Stacking by a robot PSI How well? P. Craievich Swiss FEL HG 2013 Trieste OD and V-block for one micron level

Start with precision machining Outside diameter  R – Used for alignment with respect to beam axis – Reference for radial direction of cell shape – Can be realized with proper turning Chuck face self cut  Z – Mating surface flatness – Reference for axial direction of cell shape Other complex shape – Relative positioning accuracy in milling can be within a micron level unless re-chucking 2014/11/23CLIC Structure Review9

Start with precision machined cells 2014/11/2310CLIC Structure Review Keys are Outside diameter Flatness Both sides w.r.t. OD Parallelicity Notch for rotation

Precision machining 2014/11/2311CLIC Structure Review OD can easily and robustly be measured. Axial position can well be set by self cutting.

Stacking/assembly Stacking disks – OD reference – Removing air gap between disks – Rotational alignment by mark or key Alignment preservation until bonding process – During transportation – Keep with pushing to reference surfaces – Pre-bonding as needed with pushing to reference surface – Suppress mutual sliding by friction with axial force by bolts running through the stack 2014/11/23CLIC Structure Review12

Bookshelf, rotation and bow Bookshelf – Until now we do not have any definite idea – We just try the air gap as small as possible – Parallelicity between two flat surfaces – OD perpendicular to the both surfaces – Check this OD profile with gap sensors running along beam axis Rotation – Mechanical reference, such as notch – Inscribed line by seeing optical device – Robotic stacking Bow – Smooth bow can bee corrected later. 2014/11/23CLIC Structure Review26

Less-friction smooth jig to press end surface during DB For less sticking with copper – Alumina ceramics  stick and make flare – Graphite  worry about fragile – Glassy carbon  good – Glass-like carbon coat GLASTIX KOTE  seems good Preserve good end surface – Needed for further assembly with good alignment – GLC/NLC used sheet brazing but not good from alignment point of view 2014/11/23CLIC Structure Review27

Care should be made on DB end surfaces to connect additional parts further 2014/11/23CLIC Structure Review28 Alumina ceramics → Graphite Scratch → Si 3 N 4 3 元系、 900 ℃ → sticking and makes flare → Glassy Carbon After DB Graphite Correction of flare Glassy carbon

Conclusion 1.Cells can be stacked w.r.t. mechanical reference with using outside diameter. 2.Cell alignment can be kept without slippage while handling, solid-phase bonding process. 3.One micron-level cell-to-cell alignment is feasible through man-made process. 4.Further mounting of beam-line parts on the bonded main body needs care on end surface quality 2014/11/23CLIC Structure Review29
