Unit of Competency LMTTX3018A - Undertake electronic fault finding on textile machinery
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to identify low voltage electronic faults on textile machinery including looms and other weaving related equipment, spinning, tufting, carding, knitting, sewing and finishing equipment. It includes the repair or replacement of the faulty component or to refer the repair on to other personnel.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to the diagnosis and rectification of low voltage electrical problems in textile manufacturing machinery. It requires a knowledge of yarns and fabrics and the ability to check samples and part or fully finished textile products against samples and specifications and to determine faults that are caused by electronic equipment such as control systems and sensors. It does not include 240 volt or higher equipment and circuits. Work covered by restricted electrical licenses will require additional training to meet license requirements. Discretion and judgement may be required, for both self and others, in planning and selecting processes, procedures or outcomes.Work may be conducted in a variety of environments, such as operational workplace activities, restricted space, hazardous, controlled or exposed conditions.The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recyclingThis unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising of resources and machinery for the required work, as well as applying skills and knowledge of machines and equipment to ensure production outcomes are met. Initiative and enterprise, and problem solving are key skills required to ensure operational efficiency of machines. This unit also requires and ability to communicate in writing and verbally with others.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Determine the cause of product fault or textile machinery breakdown
  • Operator consulted on machine operation and condition prior to breakdown
  • Visual check is made of textile machinery for any obvious damage or faulty components
  • Documentation, including schematics relating to machine settings, operation and maintenance is interpreted, referenced and applied according to the needs of the task
  • Appropriate test equipment is used to test circuits, sensors and other components to determine if fault is electronic in nature
  • Faulty components are identified and isolated
       
Element: Assess and repair wiring faults
  • Wiring faults correctly isolated
  • Replacement cables/wires correctly selected appropriately for size and insulation quality
  • Wiring looms, terminals and connections prepared according to industry and enterprise requirements
  • Wiring terminations are prepared and made correctly
  • Circuit components are tested for correct operation in accordance with standard operating procedures
       
Element: Remove, replace or adjust faulty electronic equipment components
  • Faulty system components are dismantled according to manufacturer/site specifications and in
       
Element: accordance with standard operating procedures
  • Faulty component is assessed for repair or replacement repaired
  • Component repaired if required or new replacement component installed
       
Element: Check textile equipment for correct operation
  • Equipment is operated to determine if working correctly
  • Sample produced if required to determine that all sensors work and program instructions and product specification are followed
  • Operator advised of any special requirements as a consequence of the repair
  • Repair or replacement documented according to standard procedures
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

correctly interpret production specifications, schematics and manufacturer instructions

set and operate textile machinery safely and correctly

perform sample runs and analyse results

identify and make appropriate readjustments to electronic controls and systems

determine root cause of operational problems

solve operational problems

apply workplace health and safety policies in production operations

maintain accurate records

Consistency in performance

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing tasks

identifying improvements

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes

recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent Assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

role and relationship of electronic components found in textile machinery input devices, PLCs, computers and other processors, display devices, sensors, timers, cables and wiring, cable harnesses,s control systems and loom operation
