CAN MAKING Set up and monitor an automated can body necking machine

level: 3 credit: 5 planned review date: November 2009 sub-field: Manufacturing Skills purpose: This unit standard covers the operation of necking machines used to neck one end of a can body. entry information: Open. accreditation option: Evaluation of documentation and visit by NZQA. moderation option: A national moderation system of regional panels and assessor networks has been established by Competenz.

People credited with this unit standard are able to: perform a setup on; test run and monitor; and perform quality control checks on product from, an automated can body necking machine. special notes: 1 Definitions Key points describe anything that may: result in the success, or otherwise, of a given job; cause injury or damage; or make the task easier to perform. Key steps are actions that must be done, as a logical sequence of an operation, to advance the work. Necking means the necking in of the one end of a can body to allow the stacking of finished assembled components. Product specifications refers to the documented requirements of the manufactured item. Setup, in the context of this unit standard, is synonymous with the term changeover. Either term may be used in the reading and interpretation of this unit standard.
