Manufacturing Skills
purpose:
This unit standard covers the setting of automatic lining
machines of capacities up to 500 parts per minute to apply
sealing compounds to steel can components fed
automatically. Compound applicator guns may be

stepping motor, or electropnuematically operated.
People credited with this unit standard are able to: check
sealing compound and fill a sealing compound tank;
dismantle and assemble sealing compound application guns;
set sealing compound application guns; perform a setup; test
run; and perform quality control checks on product from an
automatic lining machine.
entry information:
Open.
accreditation option:
Evaluation of documentation and visit by NZQA.
moderation option:
A national moderation system of regional panels and
assessor networks has been established by Competenz.
