Application
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to program operations, set up and test the operation of a cell and extends to computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines and associated integrated equipment/robots used in flexible manufacturing cell and other advanced operations.
Where additional machining skills in excess of unit MEM07005 Perform general machining are required appropriate units should also be selected.
Where the selection and use of precision mechanical measurement is required unit MEM12003 Perform precision mechanical measurement should also be selected.
Where the selection and use of power tools/hand held operations is required unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations should also be selected.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
