6. Conduct sample run | 6.1. Raw material to be used for sample is organised correctly 6.2. Machine is set up and operated to produce a specified sample according to OHS requirements, manufacturer's specifications and enterprise procedures 6.3. Sample is visually inspected and/or tested or laboratory testing is organised according to enterprise procedures 6.4. Results are interpreted to determine adjustment requirements 6.5. Adjustment changes are carried out according to product and machine specifications |
Required Skills
|
Required skills |
OHS in relation to operating machinery communication skills when organising laboratory testing of samples and completing production records and other documentation planning and organising a sample run teamwork when assisting with the set up of major in-line units using technology to adjust the sheeter as required by the job specifications identifying problems and developing solutions when interpreting test results and determining adjustment requirements |
Required knowledge |
information concerning laminating requirements that you would expect to find in the job documentation or production control system OHS areas that must be addressed when setting up these areas of the machine explain three problem areas likely to be encountered setting up the sheeter problems encountered when fitting supply films to mandrels factors that determine the setting of the binding pressures problems that can be encountered when the machine is in operation OHS areas that must be addressed when setting up these areas of the machine in-line units are available for the laminating process OHS factors to be considered before readjusting the machine quality aspects that should be considered in a completed laminating job location of machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task and information included in these documents |
Evidence Required
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: correctly set up machines for a range of laminating processes according to job specifications and within the production timeframe demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources demonstrate all safety devices on the machine set up laminating machine to complete TWO or more ply laminating jobs on different substrates and of different sizes (if possible including one in-line process) in minimum time, according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria demonstrate use of computerised control, monitoring and data entry systems if available and appropriate. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment. |
Method of assessment | The following assessment method is appropriate for this unit: direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate observation of practical tasks. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: ICPCF220C Produce basic converted or finished product ICPSU201C Prepare, load and unload reels and cores on and off machine ICPSU207C Prepare machine for operation (basic). |

Range Statement
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Sheet size may include: | where sheets are being laminated, this unit only applies when sheets are at least A4. |
Adhesives may include: | range of single or two-component adhesives used in laminating. |
In-line processes may include: | minor processes that are integral to this competency can include basic in-line operations such as perforating, numbering, date coding, slitting that do not in themselves constitute another defined unit of competency. Where a major in-line process is defined as a separate competency (eg flat-bed cutting, folding) it should be assessed as such. |
Laminating process may include: | moisture, chemical and thermal cured, and extrusion process. |
Substrate types may include: | range of absorbent and non-absorbent, transparent and non-transparent substrates within the major categories of paper, board, corrugated board, plastics and metals. |
Substrate handling may include: | wide and narrow reel and large and small sheet handling systems. |
