Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to set up in-line tube making machines for the manufacture of sacks or bags.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Set up and adjust units
- 1.1. Job specifications are obtained and read and tools are available for set up
- 1.2. Draw rollers are positioned correctly and pressures calibrated
- 1.3. Gears are changed and correctly set up
- 1.4. Knife assembly for guillotining and serration measurements are set and accurate timing assigned
- 1.5. Nip roller position, timing and pressures are set
- 1.6. Pre-creaser blades are positioned in relation to one another and angular timing fixed
- 1.7. Centre grippers are correct in size, pressures and positioning
- 1.8. Vacuum holes are correctly positioned and timed
2. Prepare materials for manufacturing process
- 2.1. Substrate reels are positioned in correct unwind direction and in the correct order and web position, tension and web aligner are set up
- 2.2. Reels are loaded according to OHS requirements, manufacturer's specifications and enterprise procedures
- 2.3. Adhesives are appropriate for the substrate, the application process and the machine
- 2.4. Correct procedures for the control of materials are followed
3. Check set up
- 3.1. Work area is safe and ready for production according to safety requirements
- 3.2. All details required for the job are checked again and confirmed against job specifications
- 3.3. Settings are checked against specifications before production is commenced
- 3.4. Machine is stepped to ensure the scores and folds are in the correct position and paper tension is corrected/adjusted
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.
Job specifications may include:
job sheets, batch processing orders, job specs.
Substrate types may include:
range of substrates within the major categories of paper, pressure sensitive material, board, plastics and related films.
Correct materials may include:
glues, papers, coated and uncoated, pre-printed.
Stepped may include:
inched, jogged, moved slowly through the process.

EVIDENCE GUIDE
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:
set up in-line tube making machines for the manufacture of sacks or bags with minimum downtime
evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of both of theses. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
access to in-line scoring, folding, and gluing machinery used in the manufacture of sacks and bags.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are 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.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended
