Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
complete different size jobs on the window gluer, including 1, 2 and 3 cycle operate and dual-feed, according to job specifications, listed performance criteria and within the production timeframe.
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:
explain work health and safety factors for:
setting up and/or operating machine delivery systems
using the window facer machine
adjusting/correcting the machine
identify areas of the:
feeder to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation
machine to continuously observe to ensure smooth, trouble-free operation
gluing and film cutting process to monitor to ensure product quality
explain adjustment of the glue application to ensure product quality
determine segments of quality assurance inspected at the completion of the sample run, and in a completed job to meet client requirements
explain communication to instigate if the job does not coincide with the sample
list part(s) of the machine to adjust if window film is cut/slit incorrectly
explain factors that cause poor glue adhesion on cartons
list key tasks to correctly shut down the machine
explain ways finished work is prepared for the next process
identify areas of the machine that need regular cleaning, and materials to clean from the machine.
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 relevant facilities, equipment and materials used to produce a range of different size jobs on the window gluer.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
