  abstract     = {{Superconducting technology provides the possibility to develop short period, small bore undulators that can generate much larger magnetic fields than alternative technologies. This may allow an XFEL with optimised superconducting undulators to cover a broader range of wavelengths than traditional undulators. At STFC, we have undertaken work to design and build a prototype superconducting helical undulator module with parameters suitable for use on a future XFEL facility. This work includes the design of an undulator with 13 mm period and 5 mm magnetic gap, as well as the supporting cryogenic and vacuum systems required for operation. We present here the updated design of the superconducting helical undulator that represents the results of prototyping work. Improved methods for manufacturing the undulator former and winding the superconducting wire have been developed. The measured mechanical tolerances and the impact on the field quality will be presented. The fields produced by prototype undulators will soon be measured using a Hall probe system.}},
