Specifications of Slitting Machine
Slitting machine is required to slit and rewind the positive and negative electrodes of
lithium ion cells, aluminium foils, copper foils and separator films. The active
material coated electrodes, foils and separators will be in a continuous form. As per
the requirements, different widths of these materials have to be sized. Gang shear
slitting knives are to be used to slit the materials. Electrodes and other materials
available in the roll form from unwinding part should pass through the pre-set shear
knives continuously and after slitting should be wound in take-up roll in the
rewinding part. The machine should be capable to slit the materials into maximum
three finished width and minimum one finished width in one setting. The slit
electrodes/foils/separators must be rewound on separate take up shafts at the rewind
end. The rewound materials after slitting should be free from wrinkles and burrs.
Lubricants used in the machine should be suitable for dry room conditions where
relative humidity is less than 0.5%.

Integration and Testing of PSLV Sub-assemblies at VSSC Facilities
Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre Page 3
1 Introduction
Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) is responsible for realization of Launch Vehicles of
ISRO. Realization of flight sub-assemblies which involve integration (mechanical and
electrical) and check out of all launch vehicles of ISRO are presently being carried out at
VSSC. The activities are carried out using in-house facilities located in Trivandrum, Kerala.
Based on the demand for launch services of PSLV, it is proposed to increase the launch
frequency of PSLV to 8 10 launches in a year. To meet this demand, it is proposed to
outsource the integration & testing of some of the PSLV sub-assemblies to industries
who can carry out the integration & testing activities at VSSC facilities. The mode of
operation will be GOCO-Government Owned Company Operated. All the required
facilities will be provided by the department while the identified activities have to be
carried out by the industry.
2 PSLV
Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle is a launch vehicle developed and operated by the Indian
Space Research Organization (ISRO). It was primarily developed to launch Indian Remote
Sensing (IRS) satellites into Sun Synchronous Polar Orbits (SSPO). It has proven its worth in
launching variety of satellites into SSPO. Further, it has demonstrated its capability for Geo-
Transfer missions and used to launch small-medium sized payload satellites into
Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) and planar orbits having different inclinations. PSLV
has the capability to launch 1750 kg in SSPO at 622 km and 1425 kg in sub GTO mission
(280 x 21000 km).
With the repeated successful missions over the years PSLV has proven to be versatile and a
reliable operational launch vehicle of ISRO. PSLV has a full-fledged end-to-end launch
service management and has launched numerous foreign and Indian satellites including
several dedicated commercial launches. PSLV has proven its worth in launching a variety of
satellites equipped to perform wide range of applications viz. communication, geographical
survey, navigation, inter planetary missions etc. PSLV has successfully launched
Chandrayaan, Mangalyaan and Astrosat missions, which demonstrated Indias capability and
placed the country among leading space faring nations of the world.
Currently PSLV has three operational variants as described below.
Versions of PSLV
Designation Variant Description
PSLV Generic Core vehicle with six numbers of S9 strap-on boosters
PSLV XL XL Core vehicle with six numbers of S12
PSLV CA Core Alone Core vehicle without any strap-on boosters

PSLV is a four stage vehicle with alternate solid and liquid propulsion modules. It has a total
length of 44 metres and lift off weight of approximately 300 tones. The first stage employs
solid-fuel rocket booster (S 139) and six strap-on motors (depending on the variant). The
second stage is powered by Vikas engine which uses Earth storable liquid propellants. The
third stage uses solid propellant. The fourth stage has a twin engine configuration with liquid
propellants. The Satellite or payload is mounted over a Payload Adaptor and is covered using
Payload Fairing which protects the spacecraft and Vehicle Equipment Bay during the
vehicles ascent phase through the atmosphere.
2.1 Sub-Assemblies of PSLV
The following are some of the major sub-assemblies of PSLV that are currently being
realized by VSSC.
