Several Departments
&
Their Functions

Injection Molding Shop

One of a countable department in ITI is the molding department. When we hear the word

telephone, the first thing that flashes in our mind is the handset or the landline telephones we used to
have in the past few years.
The moulding shop's purpose and specialisation is to create or simply make all the plastic
material required for the manufacturing of a complete telephone equipment, or in general all the plastic
materials required in a telephone industry. All the projects undertaken and samples of products that
have been and are being manufactured are displayed.
The plastic materials used for manufacturing of these materials are generally obtained from
chemicals or elements like ABS(Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), Nylon, Polyethylene etc.. These
elements are the ones which are generally made to fill into the spaces of the mould. This process is
called injection molding.

The heart of this shop is the plastic injection molding machine. This is a machine with heavy size
and large dimensions placed in a large area. The machine works in a simple manner, as follows. The
input for the machine is obviously the raw materials which will be any one of the material to form
plastic like, ABS, Nylon or Polyethylene. This is taken into the machine through a vacuum loader.
From this, it is understood that the granules of raw material are poured into a huge container from
where they are sucked into the machine using the vacuum loader.
.
These perfect moisture free granules are sent into a place called feeder zone. In other

words, this area is a heating barrel. This is specifically to melt up the granules. Internally, the heating
barrel consists of five temperature zones. Simply, they are five different bands of heating maintained
at different temperatures. The temperature of bands keeps increasing as the band's keep nearing the
nozzle or the final destination of this stage. These different levels of temperatures are maintained for
perfect and complete melting of the raw material.
Further, however the material after that stage would again get squeezed, grounded and
crushed by several screws and other objects by application of force, which altogether results in the
paste form of the granules. This paste thus formed goes further into the mould through a small nozzle.
It is obvious that the semi solid paste will take up the shape of the mould and settle in it. It is later
cooled using water or any other efficient method and the final product is obtained in a healthy way.

The working of the machine with the result was shown for the keypad backward panel. It is
told that there are several other molds for creating telephone bodies of 5C, 5B and the modern
telephones, which include it’s body and any other components required. A sample of a
completely transparent telephone was also shown where the internal components of the phone
were completely seen. That is, the PCBs with microcontrollers and several other components and
interconnections were visible.

Machine Shop
The machine shop is again a main part in the process of manufacturing. It consists of several

machinery, as the name suggests, used to modify the materials according to the application or product
they are gonna be used in or in a way the customer asks for. In general, it can be understood that this is a
place where the small components of a products can be modified physically. With the advent of
technology, we now have automated and programmable machines with some suitable software which
makes the human work procedure and also the manufacturing process efficient, reliable and light. Before
these, there were several machines which had to be manually operated by humans to gain the required
product. This will obviously have several disadvantages like more consumption of human energy, man
power and also a time taking process and many other factors like these. However, these are unavoidable
at times, as few products are perfectly obtained only when manufactured manually, rather than using
automation. Looking into few machines in the study,

Anything from meshes with minute holes to products with huge holes, this machine can be
used for manufacturing. Considering an example of a simple mesh, it would be having

numerous holes to be punched into it. Manual labour for this would cost more and would consume
several hours of time, as each hole would have to be punched with special care, equal spacing and
many other factors. Using this machine, the product can be obtained in five minutes or even less than
 that time. A program for that is written in a supportive software and implied to the system which
performs the actions on the metal according to the instructions given.
Coming to manually operated machines, we have one called as power press machine. It is
shown in figure 6. Going by the name, it is understood that the pattern will be formed by pressing on
the material, that is applying high pressure using sharp objects in a particular shape on the material.
Manual pattern are engraved on the sheets after shearing. The four important functions of this
machine can be listed as blanking, forming, embossing and piercing.So, it is understood that these
small operation are done using manual tools, but for applications requiring high precision, for
example, holes at a particular place or a large number of holes equispaced to each other etc.,
software oriented or automated machines should be used. Let us now study about one such machine.
The LVD press brake machine is one such efficient machine used for few important operations. It
makes any bending application easier and more productive using bending automation technology that
minimizes setups, is fast and highly reliable. An integrated automated tool changing system stores a library
of top and bottom tooling. All tools are held within the machine and automatically changed as the job
requires – significantly minimizing tool changeover time for better bending productivity. LVD’s patented
Easy-Form® Laser in-process angle monitoring and correction technology ensures the first part is a good
part.
As known, these machines use software as a main input of instructions for working. This
machine generally uses CADMAN-B software for operation. The machine also has indicator lights to
display the status of the functions taking place in the machine. The different models of this machine
available are,
● 135/30 (135 ton by 3060 mm)
● 220/30 (220 ton by 3060 mm)
● 220/40 (220 ton by 4080 mm)

Transmission Defense Telephone Department

Telephones have a very long and large evolution and improvements since the idea of
communication had begun. A simple communication channel can even be considered with the voice
transmission due to a thread between bases of two paper cups. However, this department has its
made presence notable ans important for its help and supplies towards the military communication. It
is understood that such applications require high amount of secrecy from any other third party. All this
is done with lot of care and intelligence.
From this, it is understood that it can connect only two telephones permanently. To consider as
an example, it can be used in railway for small applications. A manager is seated at a distance from
the railway tracks and has the schedules and running statuses of the trains passing by the track being
displayed on his screen. To convey this information to a worker who would operate the gates onto the
open and close it at right times, the manager can simply rotate the handle and convey the
information. This will keep time also as a constraint as this needs a fast response. Just like this, they
can be used in many other applications efficiently and reliably.
The 5B telephone also has the same features as that of the magneto phone or also can be
considered as the same. However, it has a better body as it is highly used in military

applications. It is understood, in that case, it has to withstand high atmospheric conditions. It will
work perfectly in any temperature range between -300 Celsius to 550 Celsius approximately. Apart
from this, it is also waterproof. Not even a drop of water would enter in, although it might be
 completely dipped in water.
The 5C telephone is an improvised version of all of the above. Obviously, it has the keypad
also. The next thought is about dialling. It has two dialling modes. They are,
DTMF(Dial tone multi frequency) Pulse
mode
As the name suggests, multi frequence means that the phone can operate on different
frequencies. The frequencies can be changed with the help of the different numbers on the keypad.
Each number will be assigned with different frequencies. The frequency which is required can be
chosen by choosing the number assigned. Other than this, it has a visual display which might display
the status of the call or the frequency it is operating in, or any other relevant information about the
status of the call. It uses a 4.5V battery for its power source. In the other models, crackling sound was
produced for a ring. Here, use of electric buzzers began, for the purpose of creating the ring. A
potentiometer is used to control the volume i.e, increase and decrease according to your wish. That
was about the dialling modes. However, we can even manage the way in which the phone can be
operated.
There are four operating modes. They are,
Magneto mode
Auto mode Radio
mode
Line man short mode
One more efficient telephone is the STP. That is, sound power telephone specially designed for
military purpose. Just like how the magneto telephone has a hand operated signal generator, this STP has
a hand operated current generator. It is a fully duplex model i.e, not much different from a normal
telephone. It weighs up to 7.89 Kg which quiet heavy, so


ETS-04:
It is expanded as Executive Telephone System. It is nothing but the normal ITI or the BSNL
landline telephones we used to use in the recent days. Then it is understood that its a duplex model
and conversation takes place between the sender and the receiver simultaneously. It maintains
high secrecy of communication that is taking place between two people. In previous days, when
there were three telephones interconnected, and the conversation is taking place between two
phones, then the person could clearly listen to the conversation talking place. This is a leak of
information and could be dangerous in important applications and should be taken care. To avoid
this, a small procedure can be followed. Two phones will be interconnected, and the other phone is
exterior and is called as an exchange,

Department Of Research And Development
Reliability Engineering Lab: Once a product is completely designed, developed and
manufactured, the company would want to verify its working. If not necessarily its working, this lab will
test the physical withstanding power of equipment. Few or most of the equipments manufactured are
provided to military and defense. In such areas, it is unpredictable to determine the atmospheric
conditions. The equipment should be in a position to withstand any high or low adverse atmospheric
conditions. This is previously verified in the labs before sending them out, by creating such
atmospheric conditions in the lab itself using several areas for them called chambers. Several tests
and how this is done can be explained as follows.

● Dust chamber:
As the name speaks, this is to test the equipments with dust withstanding capability. To
 check if dust being in contact with the equipment is getting to interior of the device and it is anyhow
affecting the actual function and working of the component. If it does not show the ideal device
working, it will be put into scrap. Every device that is manufactured has to undergo these tests and
only then will be put into use in their specifics.

● Vibration test:
This system is to test that the system is healthy even if even if any vibration occurs due to
shaking. There can be places prone to earthquakes and such and these tests can be
performed for such equipments.

A sensor is connected to the machine which will sense the parameters working there and
feeds into the computer which is also connected to it. The computer is connected to a digital system
generally called as an amplifier, which is in turn connected to the system. This forms a feedback
system which will help in controlling the frequency, pressure and other required parameters to a
predefined value if required. The parameters in which the system is supposed to work is fed into the
computer. The computer uses a software to manage the working of the machine.There are many
parameters like channel, control etc. The sensor values can be fed into the channel parameters. The
decision if single or multiple sensors have to be used can be given in the control parameters. Limit
parameters also have various options under them. As understood, it can be used where few of the
parameters need to be limited against something. Here, profile was set to around 20 to 2Khz,
schedule is time and gain is given as 100%. Installation is then done where the information is fed from
the computer to the amplifier. The graph of the system’s working can be seen in the computer.

● Dry chamber:
We can again relate the working of these chambers with the dust chamber. This is also
used to test the extent to which the equipment can withstand high temperature. The chamber
develops temperature upto a capacity of 2500 C. The model was D-6450 with number and year of
manufacturing of TU 100/150 1989. It can be used for equipments being used in power plants where
high temperatures can be developed in places like furnaces etc.

● Climate chamber:
This also works with the similar objectives as that of the previous ones. It can create
temperature of range -250 C to 120 C. The electronic cords are generally hanged in it and exposed to
several atmospheric conditions and their working is observed in this way at least for 24 hours. It has a
volume of about 290 litres, can manage humidity around the range of 50% to 95% relative
humidity(RH). The interior of a system consists of a small needle like structure with wires mounted on
one of the wall. This is nothing by, a sensor which lets us know about the temperature, humidity and
other physical factors in the system.

● Salt spray chamber:

This system occupies a huge area having a chamber to place components covered over
with a hard lid to maintain temperature conditions. It will have a pipe inside, which will spay salt water
over the components or cords. This will show if the components are corrosion resistant or will get
damaged due to those effects. This is specially designed for components which will be used in
swampy or sea areas.

● Thermal rapid temperature cycling and humidity test chamber: It has several functions like,
1. Data transfer, programming , viewing, controlling and data logging can be done on a
remote PC without software
2. Safety temperature limiter. Temperature sensor, humidity sensor etc,
● HALT/HASS Chamber:
HALT is expanded Highly Accelerated Life Test which is a process used during the design
stage of a product that provides a stringent environment to force design and process maturity.
HASS is expanded as Highly Accelerated Stress Screening which is a process used in
manufacturing, to allow discovery of process changes and prevent products with latent defects
from getting into the field.


GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network)

GPON is the highest speed, longest life, lowest cost network infrastructure available in the
market. Offering a genuine future-proof access network with flexibility and upgrade capability well into
the future.
It is generally explained as consisting of two important parts which are OLT and ONT.
For these, generally optical fiber is used for the cables for its many advantages over copper
cable like, greater bandwidth, low attenuation and greater distance, security, immunity and reliability,
design, migration, standards and cost. The wavelength of the system is as follows,
● Uplink: 1.24 Gbps with 1310nm
● Downlink: 2.48 Gbps with 1490nm
SCM is expanded as software control module. It is like a central processor in a computer. It is
basically for the software purpose. The software is loaded into this, extracted from this and also it is
used to configure OLT according to the function it has to follow.


QPIC is expanded as the Quad interface cord. This is connected to the spool. Spool is a circular
woven form of the optical cable which can be laid up to at least 20 to 25 km and is the main
component of simulation. The OLT works on -48V DC power supply. Each QPIC has four terminals
which are called as PON. Each PON can provide upto 32 facilities. In that case each QPIC can
connect 128 villages together with each facility. The splitter is used to split the signal. It can divide into
16 or 32 or 64 signals.
