Overview

This unit covers setting up work, selecting and preparing
tooling and performing complex turning operations.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

  • setting up work to the required level of accuracy using appropriate precision measuring equipment;
  • setting and supporting work to avoid distortion on release of clamping devices;
  • selecting correct cutting tools or inserts as appropriate to turning operation;
  • selecting and using appropriate feeds and speeds;
  • performing complex turning operations - counter balancing work on face plates: mandrel work; trepanning, and; heavy (multi-tonne) shafts;
  • calculating cutting parameters, speeds and feeds;
  • reading, interpreting and following information on written job instructions, specifications, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents;
  • planning and sequencing operations;
  • checking and clarifying task related information;
  • entering routine and familiar information onto proformas and standard workplace forms;
  • checking for conformance to specifications;
  • using precision measurement equipment;
  • measuring components to specified tolerances;
  • performing numerical operations, geometry and calculations/formulae within the scope of this unit;
  • following oral instructions, and;
  • orally reporting information.

Required reading

The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by the Polytechnic and/or via the Polytechnic e-learning system.
