(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


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 field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Features and specifications include one (1) or more of the following:

components

capabilities

speed

reach

load carrying capacity

accuracy/repeatability

classification

polar coordinate

cylindrical coordinate

Cartesian coordinate

jointed elbow

SCARA

movements

base

shoulder

elbow

pitch

roll

yaw

applications

required operating conditions

limitations

justification

safety features

Language includes the following:

language appropriate to robot type

Safety features include one (1) or more of the following:

AS 2939-1987 Industrial robot safety - Safe design and usage

physical design

enclosures

layout

programming

sensing

personnel

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
