Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application 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: AUnit Weight: 8
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Manufacture tooling
  • 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
       
Element: Determine job requirements
  • Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
       
Element: Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
       
Element: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
       
Element: Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, prints, job sheets, work instructions or sample component
       
Element: Prepare to manufacture tool or gauge
  • Plan and develop tooling type and design with reference to customer's specifications (written or verbal) for numbers, finish, quality and material
       
Element: Assess production machine to be used to produce components and consider in tooling design
       
Element: Determine selected production machine mounting requirements to ensure any special or additional provisions are incorporated in tooling design
  • Select and obtain appropriate materials to meet tooling requirements for strength, durability, component finish, heat treatment qualities, where necessary, and account for materials availability
       
Element: 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
       
Element: 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
       
Element: Perform machining operations
  • Select appropriate machines and machining process from a range of standard tool room machines to shape/produce tooling components to specifications
       
Element: Use hand and hand held power tools
  • Select a range of hand and hand held power tools and use to fashion/manufacture tooling components to specification
       
Element: Produce components sample or section for testing, where practical
       
Element: Assemble tooling components and trial tooling
  • Check components and fit/assemble to specifications using acceptable tool making techniques and procedures
       
Element: Check first-off component with precision instruments against specification
       
Element: Modify tooling to produce components to specification, as necessary
       
Element: Re-trial modified tooling and produce component
       
Element: Verify compliance to specification and report according to SOPs
       
Element: Record all deviations or modifications to original tooling design, prints or plans and report

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


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.
