“…Note that the 'Focus' values define the focus and the tip-tilt, the 'Clock' values define the lateral displacement and the rotation around axis centred to the pinhole and perpendicular to the optical surface, and the 'Lateral' is just a placeholder as this position will be corrected by the stage. Some detail on this mirror can also be found in [6].…”

SOXS (SOn of X-Shooter) is a medium resolution (~4500) wide-band (0.35 -2.0 µm) spectrograph which passed the Final Design Review in 2018. The instrument is in the final integration phase and it is planned to be installed at the NTT in La Silla by next year. It is mainly composed of five different optomechanical subsystems (Common Path, NIR spectrograph, UV-VIS spectrograph, Camera, and Calibration) and other mechanical subsystems (Interface flange, Platform, cable corotator, and cooling system).A brief overview of the optomechanical subsystems is presented here as more details can be found in the specific proceedings while a more comprehensive discussion is dedicated to the other mechanical subsystems and the tools needed for the integration of the instrument.Moreover, the results obtained during the acceptance of the various mechanical elements are presented together with the experiments performed to validate the functionality of the subsystems. Finally, the mechanical integration procedure is shown here, along with all the modifications applied to correct the typical problems happening in this phase.

“…As in the CBX case, also this subsystem is connected to the CP via three kinematic mounts, which can be seen in the bottom of the figure. More details can be found in [6] and [9].…”
