Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to manufacture patterns for all types of cast gears, conveyor screws and marine propellers using a full range of materials. Gear patterns may be segmented or any other method used to minimise timber shrinkage or warpage to achieve the required strength.Conveyor and marine screws may be built up using predetermined thicknessed timber, either over a mandrel or a layout. Patterns may be set up on a joint board or plated for ease of moulding.Where the assembly of plated patterns is required unit MEM04012 Assemble plated patterns should also be selected.Where the selection and use of precision measurement is required unit MEM12003 Perform precision mechanical measurement should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 4
