AI 中文摘要
实现机器人辅助的腔体串组装一直是超导腔生产中的长期目标，旨在提高精度、可重复性和吞吐量，同时减少操作员相关的变异性。在费米实验室，机器人系统已成功部署于洁净室环境中，用于在SSR2腔体上安装单个组件。单腔安装验证了机器人技术的可行性，并为将自动化扩展到完整原型腔体串的组装提供了信心。利用早期操作中吸取的经验教训，机器人系统被改造用于腔体串组装。这项工作详细描述了机器人辅助组装过程，包括耦合器法兰的对齐策略、波纹管连接的扭矩控制以及洁净室条件下颗粒产生的缓解措施。文中还介绍了低温模组的性能指标，以及对机器人组装所需改进的分析。这项工作也代表了费米实验室为实现可扩展SRF低温模组生产这一长期目标而进行的更广泛的研发举措。
英文摘要
Achieving robotic-assisted string assembly has been a longstanding objective in superconducting cavity pro-duction to improve precision, repeatability, and through-put while reducing operator-dependent variability. At Fermilab, robotic systems have been successfully deployed for the installation of individual components on SSR2 cavities inside a cleanroom environment. The single-cavity installations validated the feasibility of robotic techniques and provided confidence to extend automation to the assembly of a full prototype cavity string. Leveraging lessons learned from earlier operations, the robotic system was adapted for the string assembly. This work describes the robotic-assisted assembly process in detail, including alignment strategies for coupler flanges, torque control for bellows connections, and mitigation of particulate generation in cleanroom conditions. Performance metrics of the cryomodule are presented, together with an analysis of improvements needed for robotic assembly. The effort also represents a broader R&D initiative at Fermilab to the long-term goal of scalable SRF cryomodule production.
