Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to develop and manufacture irregular joint wood patterns and irregular joint pattern component parts, including general engineering and master patterns.It applies to wooden patterns, requiring irregular joints to meet the pattern specifications, Timber or timber laminate may be used to construct these patterns.Where patterns are required to be set up on pattern plates, unit MEM04039 Assemble plated patterns should also be selected.Where the development and manufacture of cast gear patterns is required, unit MEM04026 Develop and manufacture spur gear patterns should also be selected.Where the development and manufacture of cast bevel gears is required, unit MEM04027 Develop and manufacture bevel gear patterns should also be selected.Where the development and manufacture of cast chain gear and sprocket patterns is required, unit MEM04028 Develop and manufacture chain gear and sprocket patterns should also be selected.Where the development and manufacture of cast conveyor screw patterns is required, unit MEM04029 Develop and manufacture conveyor screw patterns should also be selected.Where the development and manufacture of cast marine propellers is required, unit MEM04030 Develop and manufacture propeller 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.This unit should not be selected when unit MEM18014 Manufacture press tools and gauges has already been selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 3
