Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Prepare for reconditioning |
1.1. Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environmental , legislative and organisational requirements relevant to reconditioning band mill wheels are identified and followed 1.2. Work order is reviewed and checked with appropriate personnel 1.3. Equipment is selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness in line with manufacturer's recommendations 1.4. Reconditioning process is planned in line with site procedures and environmental requirements 1.5. Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements |
2. Fit and grind wheel profile |
2.1. Wheel is inspected and measured to identify wear and method of grinding 2.2. Wheel grinder is serviced, fitted and aligned to the band mill and wheel in line with manufacturer's specifications and recommended tolerances 2.3. Trial cut is taken to check and further align the grinder 2.4. Wheel is ground until all signs of wear are removed, ensuring the face is not hollow and obtaining the required wheel profile and finish 2.5. Grinding feeds are controlled to obtain the required profile 2.6. Wheel is measured to ensure the diameter of back and front edges are equivalent 2.7. Wheel profile is measured to ensure grinding has achieved the required profile 2.8. Grinder traversing speeds are controlled to obtain the required profile |
3. Reassemble band mill |
3.1. Grinder and base plate are removed from band mill at completion of grinding 3.2. Band mill components are reassembled to manufacturer's specifications 3.3. Band saw is set up on mill to specified alignment 3.4. Band saw and mill operation are tested to ensure correct operation 3.5. Isolation padlocks or tags are removed at completion of the work in line with OHS legislation and site procedures 3.6. Band saw mills damaged during the process that cannot be repaired are disposed of in line with site procedures and environmental requirements 3.7. Reconditioning process and equipment faults are investigated, recorded and reported in line with site requirements |
