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 job | 1.1 Job specifications are read and interpreted from job documentation or production control system 1.2 Set-up is planned and carried out correctly in minimum time with minimum wastage |
2. Set up reel transportation system | 2.1 Unwind reel is set up and adjusted according to job specifications 2.2 Webbing procedures are carried out 2.3 Web control system is set up and adjusted according to job specifications 2.4 Reels are spliced/joined according to job specifications 2.5 Rewind reel is set up and adjusted according to job specifications 2.6 Sheeter is set up and adjusted according to job specifications |
3. Set up machine for complex laminating | 3.1 Application system cylinder is set up and adjusted according to job specifications 3.2 Adhesive application system is set up and adjusted according to job specifications 3.3 Binding pressures are set up and adjusted according to job specifications 3.4 Drying system is set up and adjusted according to job specifications |
4. Set up in-line unit(s) | 4.1 Minor in-line printing/converting/binding unit(s) are set up for basic process(es) and adjusted according to machine requirements and job specifications 4.2 Assistance is given in set-up of major in-line printing/converting/binding unit(s) |
5. Conduct sample run | 5.1 Raw material to be used for sample is organised correctly 5.2 Machine is set up and operated to produce a specified sample according to work health and safety requirements, manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures 5.3 Sample is visually inspected and/or tested or laboratory testing is organised according to enterprise procedures 5.4 Results are interpreted to determine adjustment requirements 5.5 Adjustment changes are carried out according to product and machine specifications |
Evidence of the ability to:
demonstrate all safety devices on the machine
correctly set up machine for TWO moisture, chemical and extrusion laminating processes. For each process set up a laminating machine (2 or more ply) to complete TWO jobs on different substrates, of different sizes (large/small formats including one in-line process) while demonstrating splicing techniques in minimum time according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria (at least one machine used must be fully automated).
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:
determine information concerning laminating requirements found in the job documentation or production control system, and how this information can be interpreted to ensure smooth workflow throughout the factory
describe elements to consider when planning a laminating sample
identify work health and safety factors for:
setting up the laminating machine
adjusting the machine, and prior to any readjustments
setting the drying system
identify webbing procedures commonly used in the transportation area
identify areas to consider when setting up the web control system
identify problem areas likely to occur when setting up the sheeter
explain methods of splicing a web on the laminating process
list checks to make when setting up (and adjusting) the application system cylinder
list checks to make when setting up (and adjusting) the adhesive application system
identify factors that determine setting of the binding pressures
identify the largest/smallest size sheet that can be processed on this machine
explain how to adapt the machine to facilitate smaller/larger stock
determine in-line units available for the laminating process
describe circumstances that require machine adjustment
explain quality aspects to consider in a completed laminating job, and items to check against the client sample
list steps to ensure important features of the production control system are addressed
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 facilities, equipment and materials used for laminating.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
