Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to identify computer controlled machine program elements, write a basic program and operation sheet, and trial the program for thermal cutting machines.This unit extends to writing a program to describe simple thermal cutting machine operations, including cutting paths, using appropriate software for machines which incorporates single or multiple nozzles and material loaders.Where basic programming of other computer controlled machines is required unit MEM07018 Write basic NC and CNC programs should also be selected.Where the selection and use of power tools/hand held operations is required unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: BUnit Weight: 4
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Basic machine programming includes:

NC/CNC thermal cutting machines which do not require programming using canned cycles and sub-routines

Standard code format includes:

common M and G codes

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
