Paper Abstract
The Visual Integral-Field Replicable Unit Spectrograph (VIRUS) instrument is a baseline array 150 identical fiber fed
optical spectrographs designed to support observations for the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment
(HETDEX). The collimator subassemblies of the instrument have been assembled in a production line and are now
complete. Here we review the design choices and assembly practices used to produce a suite of identical low-cost
spectrographs in a timely fashion using primarily unskilled labor.
