ICPCBF3210 — Set up and produce complex guillotined product

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• set up, including knife change, and produce three complex guillotined products, with three different substrates using an electronic guillotine, according to manufacturer and job specifications and enterprise procedures.
• operate in association with fellow workers and according to planned daily schedule
• maintain production according to work health and safety (WHS) requirements, manufacturer specifications and enterprise procedures
• demonstrate all safety devices on the machine
• anticipate production difficulties and take action to prevent occurrence.

Knowledge evidence

• enterprise procedures, manufacturer specifications, and WHS requirements for:
• handling knife blades during the knife change operation
• setting up, cleaning and operating the guillotine
• checking and adjusting the machine
• maintaining the production process
• shutting down and cleaning the machine
• waste handling and disposal
• job documentation or production control system, and the required information it contains
• common trade terms used in documentation for complex cutting or guillotine knife change operations
• factors that must be considered when planning a cutting sequence
• key items to check and their adjustment procedures, such as:
• machine problem areas and adjustment parameters
• clamp plate removal and machine adjustments
• job quality criteria against client sample (including cutting result) and steps to take if the result does not coincide
• problems that arise if:
• a dull blade is used or the cutting stick is not replaced regularly
• the automatic knife is activated
• lay or grip edges on sheets are not recognised
• procedures for:
• selecting and adjusting clamping pressure for a job
• completing jobs with undersize requirements for machine
• reporting machine malfunctions
• waste handling and disposal from the guillotine area
• ‘packing-up’ the clamp of a guillotine
• ensuring key features of production control system are followed
• key attributes required in a knife, including angles and forces acting on them
• guillotines, their components, key features and common issues
• indicators blade or cutting stick replacement is required, and information to record
• circumstances requiring a knife with a double angle
• clamp pressure required for different paper types and common clamping issues
• size range of sheets that can be processed on machine
• key factors differentiating ‘work and turn’, ‘work and twist’, ‘work and tumble’ and ‘work and back’ jobs
• types of jobs unsuitable for automatic cutting
• trimming requirements of multi-section books or magazines with bulky spines
• lay and gripper edges on sheets, and methods for identifying them if not marked
• reasons why:
• the guillotine knife will not operate when the machine is turned on
• a book block may be cut out-of-square
• the program does not work after it has been entered into the machine
• parts of the guillotine to check after a cut, if top sheets are:
• longer or shorter than the bottom sheets
• out-of-square
• creasing along the cut line
• indicators that machine lubrication is necessary, and required lubrication types and methods
• quality criteria in a completed cutting job, areas of the finished product to inspect and any production alterations required
• manufacturer manuals, enterprise procedures and work health and safety documentation, including their location and purpose.

Foundation skills

• Writing: Records information relating to production and machinery problems and completes production reports
• Self-management: Identifies and follows all procedures for cleaning and maintenance of equipment, incorporating regulatory requirements and enterprise procedures  Identifies roles and responsibilities for task and makes basic decisions on work completion parameters  Takes personal responsibility for adherence to regulatory responsibilities relevant to own work context
• Teamwork: Cooperates with others as part of familiar routine activities, and contributes to specific activities requiring joint responsibility and accountability  Identifies what to communicate, with whom and how, in routine work situations
• Planning and organising: Determines priorities and sequences steps involved in clearly defined, familiar tasks and identifies and assembles required resources
• Problem solving: Identifies and anticipates an increasing range of familiar problems, their symptoms and causes, actively looking for early warning signs and implementing contingency plans
