Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set and maintain cutting formes and strippers, and proof the forme.

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. Cut cutting forme wood

1.1 Bridge holes are accurately drilled

1.2 Saw cuts accurately match line drawing on cutting forme blank

1.3 Holes are reinforced and in register with fixing screws

1.4 Knives and creasers are cut and shaped accurately to suit cutting forme

2. Prepare knives, creasers and cutting forme rubbers

2.1 Knives and creasers are set accurately into place on cutting forme blank

2.2 Rubber is located on cutting forme to eject product and waste as required

3. Set stripping material

3.1 Stripping materials are attached securely and accurately to stripper backing material

3.2 Mounting strips are correctly fixed

4. Proof cutting forme

4.1 Sample meets production order specifications

4.2 Cutting forme is adjusted or re-cut if required

5. Maintain cutting forme and stripper

5.1 Correct number is allocated to cutting formes/strippers and recorded as per enterprise procedures

5.2 Cutting forme machine is cleaned according to work health and safety requirements and enterprise procedures

5.3 Problems are accurately described to supervisor or maintenance department

5.4 Status of cutting formes/strippers is reported correctly and without delay to production

Evidence of the ability to:

correctly prepare TWO cutting formes (one large, one small) to accommodate TWO different, typically used substrates using all relevant processes according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria.

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:

setting knives

cleaning the machine

list checks made to correctly position bridge holes

explain reinforcing bridge holes

identify checks to ensure saw cuts accurately match the line drawings

list checks made when cutting and shaping knives and creasers

list factors that determine the amount of rubber attached to the forme

list factors that determine positioning of the rubber on the forme

list important items to consider when setting knives and creasers into position on the forme blank

list checks required when attaching stripping materials to stripper backing materials and determine how this is done accurately

explain the purpose of mounting strips

identify areas to proof to ensure the cutting forme meets production order specifications

explain the importance of allocating numbers to each forme, and the accepted method of recording forme allocation numbers

identify areas of the machine that need regular cleaning, materials that need to be cleaned from the machine, and how to keep the machine clear of surface rust (condensation)

list recommended cleaning agents applicable to the cutting forme machine

identify how to record and report machine maintenance problems

identify indicators that the machine is in need of oiling/greasing

explain the importance of monitoring condition of the forme and stripper, and information to record when reporting the condition status

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.

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.
