This paper will present most recent design developments at FRIB to optimize low-beta cryomodules for large-scale linac installations. FRIB, which requires the fabrication of 53 cryomodules, has to emphasize ease of assembly and alignment plus low cost. This paper will present experimental results of a novel kinematic rail support system which significantly eases cryomodule assembly. Design choices for mass-production are presented. Results of vibration calculations and measurements on a FRIB prototype cryomodule will be reported.
