produce a complex fastened product in either adhesive, mechanical or section sewing
produce TWO complex jobs using different sizes and weights of substrate according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria
demonstrate adjustment of adhesive application on an adhesive binder
demonstrate adjustment of wire length on a wire stitcher
demonstrate straightening the wire in the wire feed on a wire stitcher.
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 (WHS) factors for:
operating sheet-fed transportation and delivery systems
maintaining or adjusting operation of the machine
using hot melt adhesive
cleaning hot melt from the machine
identify areas of the sheet-fed feeder to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation
identify parts of the sheet pick-up system to adjust to ensure accurate and continuous sheet feeding
identify areas of the delivery system to observe to maintain tension
identify areas of the delivery system to observe to prevent damage to the finished product
list checks to make when substrate is removed from the machine
list safety clothing available for use when operating adhesive binders
determine speed of production
determine sectors to observe to guarantee the production process is trouble-free and continuous
identify areas of the in-line process to monitor to ensure product quality
explain circumstances that require the machine:
to be adjusted
to be slowed down
to be sped up
determine how to achieve more spine milling on an adhesive binder
explain how to increase/decrease dwell time on a high frequency welder
explain how to increase/decrease current on a high frequency welder
list checks to make when shutting down a given machine
describe the main reasons for a thorough shutdown of operations
identify areas of the machine that need regular cleaning, materials to be cleaned from the machine, and how to ensure the machine is kept clear of surface ruse (condensation)
list recommended cleaning agents
identify production records to be kept or written up and the information that should be included in them
