Fitting Block (AUEC2-005)
This unit identifies the training and development required in order that the learner can demonstrate that they are competent in being able to: Prepare for the hand fitting activities by obtaining all the necessary information, documentation, tools and equipment required, and to plan how they intend to carry out the required fitting activities and the sequence of operations they intend to use.
Description
Course Content
The learner will be required to select the appropriate equipment to use, based on the operations to be carried out and the accuracy required. In producing the components, they will be expected to use appropriate tools and equipment to mark out the material for a range of features to be produced, and then to use hand tools, portable power tools, and shaping and fitting techniques appropriate to the type of material and operations being performed.
These activities will include hand sawing, band sawing, filing, drilling, threading, and off- hand grinding.
The components produced will have features that include flat, square, parallel and angular faces, radii and curved profiles, drilled holes, internal and external threads, and sliding or mating parts. During, and on completion of, the fitting operations, they will be expected to check the quality of the workpiece, using measuring equipment appropriate to the aspects being checked and the tolerances to be achieved. They will need to be able to recognise fitting defects, to take appropriate action to remedy any faults that occur and to ensure that the finished workpiece is within the drawing requirements. On completion of the fitting activities, they will be expected to return all tools and equipment to the correct locations, and to leave the work area in a safe and tidy condition.
