This unit standard covers the setting of can automatic component assembly machines to assemble steel can rings, lids, and aluminium foil via a five-stage assembly process: separation of lids and rings from their hoppers; pressing of lids into rings; feeding of aluminium foil, cutting of aluminium foil and pressing into rings and lids; and removal of finished ring, lid and foil (RLF) assemblies.
People credited with this unit standard are able to: change an automated can component assembler embosser; perform a setup on; test run; and perform quality control checks on the operation of, an automated can component assembler machine. entry information: accreditation option: moderation option:
Open.
Evaluation of documentation and visit by NZQA.
A national moderation system of regional panels and assessor networks has been established by Competenz. special notes: 1 Definitions
Key points describe anything that may: result in the success, or otherwise, of a given job; cause injury or damage; or make the task easier to perform.
Key steps are actions that must be done, as a logical sequence of an operation, to advance the work.
Product specifications refers to the documented requirements of the manufactured item.
Setup, in the context of this unit standard, is synonymous with the term changeover . Either term may be used in the reading and interpretation of this unit standard.
Worksite procedures means all documented operational procedures put in place by the candidate’s employer.
