EMIR Mechanics
Figure 1: Prototypes of different components.
The mechanics team is working on several prototypes already. In the following figure is shown prototype CO#1.
- Several tests have been finished.
- Temperatures
- Measurements
- Maladjustements
- Precise measurements
- Tests at low temperature including lenses are on the way
Structural and thermal design
The structural and ternal design has these key characteristics:
- Vacuum camera, security factor 7
- Thermal design on the way
