Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Manufacture tooling
  • Select and obtain appropriate materials to meet tooling requirements for strength, durability, component finish and 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 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: Trial tooling
  • Check first-off component with precision instruments against specification
  • Modify tooling to produce components to specification, as necessary
  • Re-trial modified tooling and produce component
  • Verify conformance to specification and report according to SOPs
  • Record all deviations or modifications to original tooling design, prints or plans and report according to SOPs
       
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, job sheets or work instructions
       
Element: Prepare to manufacture cavity die
  • Determine tooling requirements from customer's components drawings, prints or sample component
       
Element: Develop the tooling type and design and plan 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: Interpret tool design from tooling drawings, prints or plan and check against customer requirements
       
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 and 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 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 practicable
       
Element: Assemble tooling components
  • Check and fit/assemble to specifications using acceptable tool making techniques and procedures components
  • 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 conformance to specification and report according to SOPs

Submission Requirements

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

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(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:

forging dies

extruding dies

die casting (high and low pressure and gravity feed)

plastic moulds (injection, compression, blow and foam)

glass moulds

dies requiring precision manufacture

Tool room equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

lathes

mills

copy/duplicator

grinders

electrical discharge machining (EDM) and wire cut equipment

precision measurement

hand and power tools

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.
