Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare CMM
   • Determine probe configuration according to specifications
   • Adjust probe configuration on CMM according to SOPs
   • Check probe angles for compliance and adjust, as required
   • Re-calibrate CMM
   • Align probes manually for one-off components
2. Measure components
   • Edit part program to compensate for errors or changes to component specifications
   • Measure components and check for conformance to specification
   • Produce data/report
3. Determine job requirements
   • Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
4. Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
5. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
6. Interpret drawing information and a range of tolerances that apply to components and establish datums
7. Set up/orient components
   • Undertake pre-start checks in accordance with SOPs
8. Observe correct safety procedures and check all equipment for safe operation
9. Determine the most appropriate method of clamping/support to minimise distortion and maximise measuring access
10. Set up and orient component/fixture/clamping devices
11. Select and activate part programs
    • Identify and verify part program, as required
12. Activate selected part program in accordance with SOPs
    • Determine probe configuration according to specifications
13. Adjust probe configuration on CMM according to SOPs
14. Check probe angles for compliance and adjust, as required
15. Align probes manually for one-off components
    • Edit part program to compensate for errors or changes to component specifications
16. Measure components and check for conformance to specification
