To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
Documentation
identify information concerning folding requirements found in the job documentation or production control system, and how it is interpreted to ensure smooth workflow throughout the factory
list factors to consider when planning a folding sample
Sheet transportation and delivery systems
explain work health and safety (WHS) factors for setting folder transportation and delivery systems
identify areas of the carton blank transportation system to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation
list parts of the carton blank pick-up system to adjust to ensure accurate and continuous sheet handling
identify areas of the delivery system to observe to maintain neat delivery of finished work and to prevent damage to the finished product
explain checks required when substrate is removed from the machine
Machine setting for complex folding and gluing
explain WHS factors for setting and/or adjusting the folding unit
identify the largest/smallest size carton blank that can be processed on this machine
describe ways the machine can be adapted to facilitate smaller/larger stock
identify accuracy of a carton blank entering folding rollers
describe causes of scratching/scuffing of substrate during transportation
identify machine speed variations
describe problems that can be expected if:
the machine is running too fast
the machine rollers are set too loose
there is too much roller pressure
the delivery system is not set correctly
identify how correct roller pressure is determined for a given job
describe how roller pressures checks are made
describe required adjustments if the carton blank is out-of-square
list reasons for the sheet being out-of-square
describe adjustment required to eliminate smudging/scuffing on carton blanks
describe adjustment required if the sheet will not leave the folding unit
In-line processes
list necessary steps to set up gluing units
describe how a neat and clean gluing job is achieved
identify adhesive used in the gluing unit and how length of the glue line is adjusted
Checking and adjustment
identify causes of out-of-square folding and how they are rectified
list segments of quality assurance inspected at sample run completion
identify areas of the machine to adjust if carton blank is creasing
identify areas of the machine to adjust if carton blank is not entering the machine
explain items to check against client sample
Information sources
identify machine manuals and safety documentation relevant to this task, where they are kept, and the information included in them.
