The alignment and the integration of each MORFEO optomechanical system is defined with a mechanical joints that will provide repeatability and the possibility to align the optics. This proceeding will analyze the mechanical system, the way that permits to align the optics and the test on the connections. The test consider a dummy aluminum plate that simulate the optomechanical element, that is connected to the lower plate representing the MORFEO main structure. The kinematics connection used are of two different kinds. the first set of kinematic elements consists in sphere, cylinder and plane. the second set it is composed by three identical half sphere half cylinder connection. The performed test will permit not only to determine the repeatability of the system but also the capability to the alignment system to provide the correct range and resolution to the optomechanics.
