Range Statement
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.ContextThis competency applies to all wire bunching and stranding within the plastics, rubber and cablemaking industries. It covers single and multiple stranded cable. It includes the operation of all relevant additional equipment where that equipment is integral to the wire bunching and stranding process.ProceduresAll operations are performed in accordance with procedures.Procedures include all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards. Tools and equipmentThis competency includes use of equipment and tools such as:wire bunching and stranding equipment and components, including dies, threading path, spools, gearsassociated equipment, including manual handling equipment, welders, lubrication system, packaging, measuring equipmenthand tools used in production process relevant personal protective equipment.HazardsTypical hazards include:temperature wire breakageshazardous materials manual handling hazards equipment operations.Problems'Anticipate and solve problems' means resolve a wide range of routine and non-routine problems, using product and process knowledge to develop solutions to problems which do not have a known solution/a solution recorded in the procedures.Typical process and product problems may include:processing problems (eg incorrect diameter, ovality, surface appearance, colour, inclusions, elongation, tensile strength, weight, wrap)equipment malfunctions (eg wire breaks - raw material contamination, die wear, die build-up, faulty capstan bands, faulty wire welds)materials problems (eg raw material contamination, incorrect quantity of materials).VariablesKey variables to be monitored include:equipment operating speed timetensionwind off speedproduct integrity and general conformance to specification/sample.
