Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Prepare for job
  2. Set up delivery systems
  3. Set up machine and in-line units
  4. Conduct sample run

Range Statement

This section specifies 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.

Delivery systems MUST include EITHER:

reel

OR

sheet.

Setting up and adjusting MUST include EITHER:

unwind and rewind reels

web control systems

splicing/joining reels

OR

feeder and delivery systems

sheet/section/reel pick-up and transportation systems

transfer systems.


Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

correctly set up machines for complex collating for a minimum of FOUR products, including in-line processes on FOUR occasions, (if possible) including:

two sheet jobs, each using different sizes and weights of substrate

two section jobs, with and without lip/lap, according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.


Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

All Systems

identify work health and safety (WHS) factors for:

setting up and/or operating machine transport systems

when the machine is operating

adjusting machine units and before readjusting the machine

determine important information concerning collating found in the job documentation or production control system and how to interpret this information to ensure smooth workflow throughout the factory

explain elements to consider when planning a collated sample

identify areas of the machine to adjust to allow for 42gsm stock

list ways the machine can be adapted to facilitate smaller/larger stock

identify factors that govern speed the machine operates at

determine indicators that show the machine needs lubrication

list steps to ensure correct alignment of in-line processes/units

determine adjustments to keep units correctly positioned

determine requirements for an acceptable collating result

explain the cause of sheets creasing in the machine delivery

determine adjustments to the machine to alleviate bruising of no carbon required (NCR) paper

identify items to check against the client sample

identify when the machine needs to be adjusted

identify machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, where they are kept, and the information included in these documents

For Reel Systems Only

identify areas of the reel stand to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation

identify area of the web control system to adjust to maintain correct web tension

identify area of the web control system to adjust to maintain correct positioning of the web

For Sheet Systems Only

list important factors to consider when setting up the feeder and double/misfeed sheet calliper system

identify requirements to ensure smooth transportation of sheets or sections to and through the machine

name different types of sheet/section delivery systems

determine largest/smallest size sheet that can be processed on this machine

determine the largest/smallest sheet/section size to be run on the machine.
