MEM05070 — Write and proof programs for NC/CNC thermal cutting machines

1 Determine thermal cutting job requirements

• 1.1Identify thermal cutting requirements including relevant standards and codes from drawings, specifications and other customer and enterprise documentation
• 1.2Check material to be cut is to specification and job requirement

2 Confirm NC/CNC thermal cutting machine suitability for job requirements

• 2.1Identify machine features and specifications including programming language and thermal cutting capabilities
• 2.2Identify machine safety features
• 2.3Establish required cutting path and machine operations using drawings and cutting machine controls and software
• 2.4Confirm required operations for NC/CNC thermal cutting machine

3 Prepare for thermal cutting programming

• 3.1Check alignment of material to machine cutting head/s and datum points
• 3.2Program cutting head centre point for job and check location and alignment
• 3.3Calculate coordinates for cutting path
• 3.4Check availability of logical subroutines and other standard instructions for position orientation
• 3.5Check job for any positions or cutting paths requiring non-standard instructions

4 Write or record program

• 4.1Write or record program in required code format for cutting path and cutting parameters using machine controller or software
• 4.2Perform any additional programming required including instructions, thermal cutting recording and lower-level programming
• 4.3Produce operation sheets to specification in accordance with standard operating procedures (SOPs)

5 Trial program

• 5.1Trial program on test material
• 5.2Verify thermal cutting and program performance against required specifications
• 5.3Edit program to adjust thermal cutting operations including using manual operation if necessary
• 5.4Save final program and complete operation sheets and records according to enterprise procedures

What does an assessment tool for MEM05070 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM05070 needs to address all 34 unit components: 5 elements with 18 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 7 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MEM05070?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM05070 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MEM05070 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM05070 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MEM05070, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
