Elements and Performance Criteria

Prepare for job
- Job specifications are read and interpreted from job documentation or production control system
- Set-up is planned and carried out correctly in minimum time with minimum wastage
Set up reel transportation system
Set up machine for complex laminating
Set up in-line unit(s)
- Minor in-line printing/converting/binding unit(s) are set up for basic process(es) and adjusted according to machine requirements and job specifications
- Assistance is given in set-up of major in-line printing/converting/binding unit(s)
Conduct sample run

Performance Evidence

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 manufacturerâ€™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.

Knowledge Evidence

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.
