This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to manufacture and trial press tools and gauges.

Manufacture of the tooling includes preparing to manufacture including assembly of the tooling components and trialling all types of production tooling.

Where brazing skills are required unit MEM05006 Perform brazing and/or silver soldering should also be selected.

Where manufacture of cavity dies is required unit MEM18097 Manufacture cavity dies should also be selected.

This unit does not cover any welding that may be associated with manufacturing press tools and gauges. If welding skills are required, appropriate welding units must also be selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Band: A

Unit Weight: 8

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Tooling includes one (1) or more of the following:	press tools jigs fixtures gauges special purpose machines and equipment
Standard tool room machines include one (1) or more of the following:	lathes mills copy/duplicator grinders electrical discharge machining (EDM) and wire cut equipment precision measurement machines and equipment

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice	Yes	No	Comments/feedback
Select and obtain appropriate materials to meet tooling requirements for strength, durability, component finish, heat treatment qualities, where necessary, and account for materials availability
Test selected material for hardness, as appropriate to aid selection of machine tools, hand tools and hand held power tools to be used to fashion or shape tooling components
Develop a plan to sequence and stage manufacturing process, including establishing datum, mark out, rough out (machine or fashion), stress relieve/heat treat, finish size, fashion and fit, and assemble componentry
Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
Plan and develop tooling type and design with reference to customer's specifications (written or verbal) for numbers, finish, quality and material
Select and obtain appropriate materials to meet tooling requirements for strength, durability, component finish, heat treatment qualities, where necessary, and account for materials availability
Select appropriate machines and machining process from a range of standard tool room machines to shape/produce tooling components to specifications
Select a range of hand and hand held power tools and use to fashion/manufacture tooling components to specification
Check components and fit/assemble to specifications using acceptable tool making techniques and procedures
