Abstract

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 mainly composed of five different optomechanical subsystems and four other mechanical subsystems (Interface flange, Platform, cable corotator, and cooling system). In this paper, a brief overview of all the subsystems and tools is presented here together with the acceptance results of the various mechanical elements, the experiments performed to validate the functionality of the subsystems, and the mechanical integration procedure.
