| Popis: |
4MOST is a fibre-fed, multi-object spectroscopic survey facility to be installed on the VISTA telescope at ESO's Paranal observatory. This paper presents the final mechanical design of the optical fibre route from the fibre positioner at the focal plane of VISTA to the fibre-slits within the high- and low-resolution spectrographs below the azimuth platform. The technical challenges are to provide a safe, durable and efficient fibre route for over 2400 fibres. To accommodate the movements of the telescope, a Cassegrain Cable Wrap and a novel elevation chain concept has been prototyped and extensively tested to validate the design solutions. |
