Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
produce at least FOUR simple straight line folded and glued cartons of different sizes and weights according to manufacturer’s and job specifications and enterprise procedures on one of the following machines:
Royal 40
Bobst Media
Bobst Domino.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
identify the work health and safety factors for:
setting and/or operating machine delivery systems
using the folder/gluer machine
adjusting/correcting the machine
cleaning the machine
identify areas of the sheet-fed feeder that need to be monitored to ensure trouble-free operation
list checks to be undertaken when substrate is removed from the machine
identify areas to continually observe to ensure smooth trouble-free operation of the machine
list causes of out-of-square folding and how each can be corrected
identify segments of quality assurance that are inspected at completion of the sample run, and changes required to production to ensure client requirements are met
list part(s) of the machine that can be adjusted if carton blanks are creasing
determine factors that cause poor glue adhesion on cartons, and requirements to adjust glue application
list important tasks to correctly shut down the machine
list tasks to prepare the finished work for dispatch
identify areas of the machine that need regular cleaning, and materials that need to be cleaned from the machine
identify requirements to keep the machine clear of surface rust (condensation)
list factors that determine a quality product in a completed folded job
identify machine manuals and safety documentation relevant to this task, where they are kept, and the information included in them.
Assessment Conditions
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 special purpose tools, equipment and materials, as well as one of these machines:
Royal 40
Bobst Media
Bobst Domino.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
