Paper Abstract
EMIR is the NIR multi-object imager and spectrograph for the GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias). The instrument ADR
(Advanced Design Review) was held successfully in March 2006. During the AD phase, a number of mechanical
concepts were tested on development prototypes to ensure the feasibility of the PDR proposed designs. This presentation
contains an overview of the current mechanical status of the instrument, as well as the prototypes development. It
contains the prototype tests results of the collimator first lens barrel, the support trusses, the grisms wheel and the
demonstration programme for the cryogenic reconfigurable slit mechanism.
