Set up machine for basic adhesive, mechanical or thermal fastening


Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up a machine for basic adhesive, mechanical or thermal fastening. Some equipment may also involve cutting, trimming, folding and/or gathering (collating) which may be assessed at the same time.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.


Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare for job

1.1 Job specifications are read and interpreted from job documentation or production control system

1.2 Set-up is carried out correctly in minimum time with minimum wastage

1.3 Availability of all job related components is checked

2. Set up delivery systems

2.1 Delivery systems are set up and adjusted according to job specifications

2.2 Substrate is removed from the process according to job specifications

3. Set up equipment and in-line units

3.1 Fastening system is set up and adjusted according to job specifications

3.2 Minor in-line printing/converting/binding units are set up for basic processes and adjusted according to machine requirements and job specifications

3.3 Assistance is given in set-up of major in-line printing/converting/binding units

4. Conduct sample run

4.1 Raw material to be used for sample is organised

4.2 Machine is set up and operated to produce a specified sample according to work health and safety requirements, manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures

4.3 Sample is visually inspected and/or tested or laboratory testing is organised according to enterprise procedures

4.4 Results are interpreted to determine adjustment requirements

4.5 Adjustments are carried out according to product and machine specifications

Evidence of Performance

Evidence of the ability to:

correctly set up machine for basic fastening according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

set up machine on TWO occasions for adhesive OR mechanical OR thermal fastening, using different weights and sizes of substrate according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria

use computerised control, monitoring and data entry systems, if available and appropriate.

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:

All Systems

identify work health and safety (WHS) factors for:

setting up the machine

setting up the delivery systems

before readjusting the machine

working with hot melt adhesives

determine important information concerning binding requirements found in the job documentation or production control system

identify elements to consider when planning a binding sample

list checks needed when using the delivery systems on the various machines

identify ways completed work can be secured for dispatch

explain binding techniques for different types of jobs

determine in-line units available for these binding processes

identify circumstances under which the machine would need to be adjusted

determine quality aspects to consider in the completed binding job

list steps to ensure important features of the production control system are addressed

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

describe webbing procedures commonly used in the delivery area

identify areas to consider when setting up the web control system

For Sheet Systems Only

determine problems likely to be encountered when setting up the sheeter

For Adhesive Or Thermal Only

identify special delivery problems associated with adhesive machines and requirements to overcome these problems

determine WHS safeguards necessary with hot melt adhesives

explain methods of adhesive metering on the machine

explain care to ensure a neat and clean adhesive binding job

For Mechanical Only

list parts of the wire stitcher that need to be adjusted to process books of different thicknesses

determine required positioning of the wire stitches on the book

explain the difference between a staple and a wire stitch

determine the appropriate wire calliper for a particular job.


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.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
