Two fibre integral field units (IFU) are being built in the SAAO fibre-lab for the Robert Stobie Spectrograph's visible arm and the future red arm. Each IFU sits in its own slit-mask cassette and is referred to as a slit-mask IFU (SMI). They will be available some time in 2022. The smaller, 200 micron fibre IFU has 309 x 0.9 arcsec diameter spatial elements covering an elongated hexagonal footprint of 18 x 23 arcsec. The larger, 400 micron fibre IFU has 178 x 1.8 arcsec diameter spatial elements covering an on-sky area of 21 x 44 arcsec. In both cases there are two groups of 13 fibres offset by roughly 50 arcsec on either side of the primary array to sample sky. The 1.8 and 0.9 arcsec spatial resolution SMIs provide median spectral resolution of 1200 and 2400 respectively at H-α wavelengths in the low resolution mode covering 320 to 740 nm bandpass. At a higher grating angle the SMI will deliver spectral resolution up to 5000 and 10000 with 400 and 200 micron core fibre respectively. A future red-arm will extend the simultaneous wavelength coverage up to 900 nm at a median resolution of 3000/6000 for the same flavors of IFUs. SMIs are inserted in the same fashion as the existing long-slit cassettes at the SALT focal plane. Prismatic fold mirrors direct the focal plane into the fibre IFU and then back into the RSS collimator after the fibres are routed 180 deg within the cassette and formatted into a pseudo-slit. Fold-prisms ensure that the spectrograph collimator continues to see the same focal plane. In this paper we describe the design, fabrication, assembly and characterization of Slit Mask IFUs.
