Application

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to mark out complex and irregular shapes and reflects advanced skills required to calculate cutting, bending lines and developments.

Where the skills required are for marking out activities associated with general engineering and maintenance functions, one or more of the following units should also be selected as appropriate:

MEM07005 Perform general machining

MEM12006 Mark off/out (general engineering)

MEM18006 Perform precision fitting of engineering components

MEM18014 Manufacture press tools and gauges.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

What You'll Learn

Assessment Requirements

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two (2) occasions and include:

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices

examining detailed drawings for fabrication requirements and specifications, including materials, quantities, measurements and tolerances, joining methods, standards and code requirements

calculating and marking allowances for fabrication and assembly

establishing and marking datum points

selecting and using parallel line, radial line and triangulation development methods with minimum material wastage with accurate dimensions for fabrications

producing templates and developing patterns accurately and following storage procedures.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

tools, equipment and techniques in template/patterns

datum points

geometrical principles and formulae

parallel line, radial line and triangulation development methods as applied to transitions geometric development

calculations of allowances, including manufacturers’ allowances on materials

fabrication and assembly allowances and effects of material type/thickness

sources of data on fabrication/assembly allowances

materials and procedures for making template/patterns

template/patterns labelling, identification and storage

relevant standards, codes and symbols

fabrication materials

optimising material use and minimising material wastage.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in performing advanced geometric development – transitions at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires.

Assessment must include evidence of 160 hours of workplace practice associated with the skills of this unit in a functioning workplace.

All aspects of competent application of the unit must be addressed including prerequisite competency units and associated workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Knowledge assessment may be either verbal or written but must adequately reflect the knowledge requirements of the unit and its prerequisites in a functioning workplace.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
