MEM05089 - Assemble fabricated components
Overview
This unit of competency has been developed for Engineering Tradesperson – Fabrication apprenticeship training and recognition of trade-level skills in the assembly of general fabricated components in plate, pipe and section or sheet in typical applications either on-site or in a fabrication workplace.
Skills covered by this unit are generally applied in occupational and work situations associated with steel fabrication, boilermaking or sheet metal work.
Work may be undertaken individually or as part of a team.
Where assembly involves using pre-constructed jigs unit MEM03001 Perform manual production assembly and unit MEM03003 Perform sheet and plate assembly, should also be selected as appropriate.
Where skills for the assembly of fabricated engineering components are required unit MEM18006 Perform precision fitting of engineering components should also be selected.
Where welds are required to meet legislative or regulatory requirements, then appropriate welding units should also be selected.
Assessment
For Melbourne campuses
Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit's learning outcomes & 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:
- following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
- constructing necessary jigs
- planning fabricated component assembly tasks and sequences efficiently and effectively
- aligning material in jigs and using fixtures, tools and equipment as necessary to check the position of all assembled components visually and dimensionally
- marking datum lines in an appropriate manner
- positioning and assembling general fabricated components in accordance with drawing/specifications using accepted engineering trade techniques, practices, processes and workplace procedures either on-site or in a fabrication workshop
- applying appropriate distortion control techniques and checking to ensure compliance of the final assembly with specifications.
Required reading
The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by the VU Polytechnic and/or via the Victoria University Polytechnic e-Learning system.
