Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare for making cutting formes and strippers.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare for die and stripper making

1.1 Die and stripper making requirements are identified and selected from die drawing or inspection

1.2 Availability of all job related components is checked

1.3 Materials chosen are appropriate for cutting forme design and the machine cutting forme/stripper they are to be used on

2. Prepare materials

2.1 Cutting forme/stripper making materials are assessed and cut to size

2.2 Cutting forme/stripper making materials are correct size for production requirements

2.3 Stripper backing material is correct size for production requirements

2.4 Product design is drawn onto cutting forme blank to match cutting forme design

2.5 Drawing is in register on cutting forme blank

2.6 Drawing is in register on stripper backing material

3. Prepare lay down sheet and cutting forme tracing

3.1 Lay down sheet and cutting forme tracing are glued correctly onto cutting forme blank

3.2 Lay down sheet is in register on cutting forme blank

3.3 Cutting forme tracing matches product design

4. Design location of bridges, stripping rule and mounting holes

4.1 Cutting forme maintains required strength

4.2 Waste is cut to suit waste extraction system

4.3 Mounting holes register with holes in cutting forme blank

Evidence of the ability to:

prepare materials for TWO cutting formes (one large, one small) to accommodate TWO differing typically used substrates, using all relevant processes according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria, within the production timeframe.

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

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

identify work health and safety factors for cutting materials

list names of substrates commonly cut by these cutting formes

determine the impact of different substrates on forme setting

determine the size of the stripper backer material

explain the care to take when drawing design onto blank

ensure correct registration when drawing design onto blank, and when gluing and laying down the cutting forme tracing onto the cutting forme blank

list the factors that determine the:

thickness of stripping rule

position and number of bridges

position and number of mounting holes

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

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the converting, binding and finishing field of work and include access to relevant facilities, special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

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.

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.
