Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up a machine for complex folding.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 relevant facilities, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Evidence of the ability to:

correctly set up set up THREE multiple sequenced folding jobs (e.g. letter folds, concertina folds) OR gusseting (envelope adjuster) jobs, using different sizes and weights of substrates e.g. 45-110 grams per square meter (gsm) and including use of a gluing unit and/or gate fold unit, according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed performance criteria

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine.

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:

All Systems

identify work health and safety factors that must be considered when:

setting up and/or operating machine transport systems

setting folder transportation and delivery systems

setting up and/or adjusting the folding unit

adjusting machine units

determine the information concerning folding requirements that would be found in the job documentation or production control system and how this information could be interpreted to ensure smooth workflow throughout the factory

determine the factors that must be considered when planning a folding sample

identify the areas that should be monitored to ensure trouble-free operation for either the reel stand or sheet-fed delivery system

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

list checks to make when substrate is removed from the machine

list ways folded sheets can be secured for dispatch

determine the largest/smallest size sheet that can be processed on the machine

list ways the machine can be adapted to facilitate smaller/larger stock

list causes of scratching/scuffing of substrate during transportation

identify factors that determine machine speed

explain 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 factors that determine correct roller pressure for a given job

list roller pressure checks for correctness

list steps to ensure correct alignment of in-line processes/units

list checks when operating the electronic gate fold unit

explain the use of a gate fold unit

explain the use of a gluing unit on a job

determine adhesive used in the gluing unit

identify adjustments made to the glue line length

determine segments of quality assurance to inspect at the sample run completion

explain actions required if the:

job is out-of-square

ink is too wet for production

job does not coincide with sample

identify 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

For Reel Systems Only

For Sheet Systems Only

identify adjustments required in each of the following cases:

the sheet is creasing

the sheet is caught in the fold plate

the sheet is not entering the machine

the sheet is not reaching the folding unit

the sheet not leaving the folding unit

the sheets are smudging/scuffing
