Evidence of the ability to:
correctly produce a complex laminated product using any TWO of moisture, chemical and extrusion laminating processes. For each process, operate a laminating machine (2 or more ply) to complete TWO jobs on different substrates and 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:
explain work health and safety factors for:
operating web machine transport and delivery systems
maintaining the laminating process
maintaining complex in-line processes
shutting down and cleaning the machine
determine areas of the:
reel stand to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation
web control system to adjust to maintain correct web tension and positioning of the web
delivery system to observe to maintain tension
delivery system to observe to prevent damage to the finished product
in-line processes to monitor to ensure a quality product
machine that need regular cleaning
explain the process for correct and continuous feeding and delivery of substrate
list checks to make when substrate is removed from the machine
determine ways:
registration of laminating is assured
adjustment of the machine is achieved
pressure can be adjusted during production
determine areas of production to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation
identify laminating problems that may occur during operation of the machine
explain adjustments or correction procedures to ensure accurate operation of the process and to meet client requirements
list checks to make when correctly shutting down the machine
identify materials to clean from the machine
explain requirements to keep the machine clear of surface rust (condensation)
list recommended cleaning agents, and materials to be cleaned from the machine
identify production records to be kept or written up, and the information to include
determine quality aspects to consider in a completed laminated job
list steps to ensure important features of the production control system are followed
explain items to check against the client sample
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 to produce a laminated product.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
