PRACTICAL SUMMER TRAINING UNDERTAKEN AT
PREFACE We as engineering students are studying theory subjects and some particles. So, that we may not feel short of practical training which will be useful in our job, The University of Rajasthan has provided us with a 45 days training slot to help us learn better. Theory along with practical is always good as it makes us learn quickly. Also in this world of tough and growing competition it will help in keeping our nose ahead of others. It also gives us confidence to work in a company and bring laurels to our country by our good and admirable job.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES Short Term The short term effect of the implant training was that I realized the importance of time. We have to reach on time in the company. We are also expected be in a proper dress code so that we don’t look out of place and oddly different. I have learned to be sharp, precise and accurate in my work and to finish it on time to gain maximum profit. I have learned to communicate with my colleagues and seniors.
Long Term The industrial training will help me in securing a job. Now, I also have some experience of working in a company and abiding by its rules. It also help me in facing questions from a group of persons. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Assembly 3. Tank Intercom System 4. Back Up Battery 5. Quality & Assurance 6. Reliability & Environmental Lab 7. Project 8. Conclusion INTRODUCTION Set up in 1954 for defence electronics, BEL manufactures radars, sonars, communication network, electronic warfare systems, electro optics, tank electronics, broadcasting equipment, components, electronic voting machine, photovoltaic systems and other high tech products. It has nine manufacturing units at different locations of India. BEL spends 4 to 5% of its annual revenue on R & D. 60% of its revenue is from indigenously developed products. It employs 12,390 people including 1200 R & D engineers. BEL has been ranked first among medium-sized aerospace/defence companies worldwide in 2003 & 2004. It has come a long way since its inception in 1954 and today is hailed as one of the top professional electronics companies, not just in India but around the world. Profit 2004-05 Rs 4460 million, Revenue Rs 32,120 million. The special processes in use in the company are Nut Riveting, Helix Coils & special kind of PCB’s. Why are helix coils used? · The tank is a very huge and bulky unit. · It has to be made of a metal to give it strength and to withstand stress and strain during exercises and war. · If it is made up of plastic to make it light, it will disintegrate easily. · Hence, to make it light we should use a light metal. · Aluminium is a metal which is both light and has good mechanical strength. · But, Aluminium is also a very soft metal. · In a tank assembly various fastners would be required. · To repair and for testing purpose they would be required to be again & again fastened or loosened. This can damage the soft Aluminium and hence cause the holes to expand. · So, after drilling the holes, helix coils are used in the holes and the screws tightened. · The helix coils are made up of steel and are not soft and solve our purpose.

Special PCB’s
ASSEMBLY · In the assembly area the stablizers are assembled. · Newton’s 3rd law states that “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction”. · If we try and position the barrel of a gun, according to Newton’s 3rd law the gun will take some time to position itself which can be fatal in a war situation. So, stablizers are used. · The various parts of a stabilizer are: 1. K1 2. K2 3. Frequency Stablizers 4. Gun Setting Device 5. Block Relays 6. Hydraulic Traverse 7. Hydraulic Elevation Stablizers · A 26V DC supply from the battery of the tank is converted to 550V, 600Hz AC. · It is given to the 2nd distribution unit called K2. · K2 is used to protect K1 from surge voltage. It supplies the voltage to K1 and prevents its damage. · To regulate the signal from K2, block relays are used & then supply is to K1. · When K1 receives AC the relays of K1 are energized & K1 is started. K1
Principles of Operation · R-174 (MK-II) provides intercommunication between tank crew members and external communication through selected radio channels. · The various modes of operation are: 1. Intercom Mode of Operation: In this mode the user is given a communication helmet with two earphones & two throat microphones. When a crew member speaks audio output of 0.8mV is amplified to 0.55V by throat microphone housed in MH1 assembly. Audio output from MH1’s of commander, gunner, driver & external user is fed to intercom amplifier PCB on AC34. The audio signal is summed up and amplified to 10 +/- 2V in ICA PCB. The combined audio output of AC34 is given to the earphones of all users & so communication takes place.
2. Radio Communication Mode of Operation: Select the mode selection switch of AC34/AC35 to either R/ST1 or R/ST2 or R/ST3. AC34 & AC35 can select any one the three radio sets. 0.55 audio output of MH1 is disconnected from intercommunication amplifier by operation of relays in control PCB of AC34/AC35 & to selected radio stations. The received audio signal from selected radio to respective earphones through control & leak amplifier PCB’s. 3. Main Control Unit, AC34: It is located at the right of commander. It is used by the commander. All the three radio sets are connected through this this unit. It also interconnects commander to other crew members i.e. gunner device & external user. The mode selection switch of AC34 on front panel enables tank commander to select any modes- Intercom (IC), Radio Stations R/ST1, R/ST2, R/ST3.

4. Operators Switch Unit, AC35: It is located at the left side of the gunner, for communication. Mode selection switch of AC35 located on top housing enables gunner to select any mode- Intercom (IC), audio stations R/ST1, R/ST2, R/ST3. It has potentiometer controller with ON/OFF switch for controlling audio leak signals from other two radio stations.
a) Controlling board of relays for controlling switching operations. b) Leak amplifier board, sums up main signal with audio leak when switched ON. 5. Matching Amplifier Unit AC37: It is used by the driver. It has a number of controls depending upon the position of driver’s switch in AC34 as selected by the commander. This unit is connected to intercom or external communication through radio station R/ST1. It has amplifier TIC-3C signal and feeds to ICA PCB assembly. 6. Chest Switch, MH1: It has two controls. Ring Knob to bring all to the circular intercom mode. XMTR Knob to enable entry into the radio station transmission.
