setting up and/or operating sheet transport and delivery systems

setting up and adjusting rotary cutting devices

OR

setting up reel delivery systems

determine information concerning rotary die cutting or embossing found in the job documentation or production control system, and interpret this information to ensure smooth workflow throughout the factory

determine factors to consider when deciding on a cutting system

explain checks for when cutting devices are mounted on a cylinder

identify methods used for registering and proofing cutting devices

explain checks for when cutting devices are attached to the machine

list criteria that determines selection of particular cutting devices

list steps to ensure the delivery system operates effectively

identify important areas or sections of the feeder unit set up

identify areas of the delivery system to observe to maintain neat delivery of finished work and prevent damage to the finished product

list necessary checks when substrate is removed from the machine

list ways the finished product can be secured for despatch

explain machine pressure and machine cutting depths

explain adjusting lays for registration, what to check, and when it is done
