Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to undertake web bonding processes.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare for web bonding
  • 1.1 Specifications are checked to identify requirements for production.
  • 1.2 Web bonding process is identified and where options exist, correct web bonding process is selected according to product requirements.
  • 1.3 Bonding raw material supply is checked where appropriate.
  • 1.4 Machine controls are set to meet product requirements.
2 Undertake web bonding
  • 2.1 Formed web supply and speed is checked for conformance to specification.
  • 2.2 Web bonding process is monitored and operational parameters are adjusted to meet product requirements.
  • 2.3 Machine operations are monitored to ensure safe and correct operation.
  • 2.4 Minor product process and machine faults are identified and corrected where necessary to meet specified requirements and are reported.
  • 2.5 Major machine faults are reported.
  • 2.6 Machine is cleaned when required.
  • 2.7 Machine is operated according to OHS practices.
3 Check bonded web quality
  • 3.1 Bonded web is checked against quality standards and production requirements.
  • 3.2 Bonded web faults and non-conformances are identified and rectified or reported.
4 Complete web bonding process
  • 4.1 Bonded web is sent for web conversion and finishing or next manufacturing or packing process.
  • 4.2 Cleaning of area is completed to ensure work environment is maintained in a safe and productive manner.
  • 4.3 Production records are accurately completed.
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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Web bonding processes may include
chemical bonding, including
solvent bonding
foam bonding
hydrogen bonding
print bonding
latex addition to formed web
inorganic binders
thermal bonding, including calender bonding - engraved calender bonding and air bonding. Thermal bonding covers the following fibres:
fusible fibres
bi-components
co-polyesters
mechanical bonding, including:
needle punch
stitchbond
hydro-entanglement
Machine operations may include
speed settings for web progression
heat settings
solution settings
needle punch settings
settings made using computer, mechanical and electronic controls
OHS practices
OHS practices include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may relate to:
manual handling techniques
standard operating procedures
personal protective equipment
safe materials handling
taking of rest breaks
ergonomic arrangement of workplaces
following marked walkways
safe storage of equipment
housekeeping
reporting accidents and incidents
environmental practices
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
interpret production orders and schedules
set and check machine settings to meet production requirements
monitor web bonding operations according to defined procedures and methods
make minor adjustments
check product samples against quality standards
load and unload products
complete records accurately and completely
apply OHS practices in work operations

Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks according to instructions
working systematically with attention to detail
identifying improvements and avoiding damage
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment
This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.
