Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform basic metal spinning lathe (excluding computer numerically controlled [CNC]) operations.It applies to manual metal spinning of sheet metals of varying thicknesses but does not include hot spinning procedures. Tool use will include either hand and/or slide tooling of varying design and materials.Where annealing is required unit MEM05007 Perform manual heating and thermal cutting should also be selected.Where disc blanks are required to be cut out using a dedicated circle cutter or similar unit MEM07032 Use workshop machines for basic operations should also be selected.Where operational maintenance requires dismantling and replacing components unit MEM18055 Dismantle, replace and assemble engineering components should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
