Grinding Block (AUEC2-033)

This unit identifies the training and development required in order that the learner can demonstrate that they are competent in being able to cover a broad range of basic grinding competences that will prepare them for entry into the engineering or manufacturing sectors, creating a progression between education and employment, or that will provide a basis for the development of additional skills and occupational competences in the working environment.

Description

The grinding operations may be carried out on horizontal or vertical surface grinding machines, cylindrical or universal grinding machines. They will be expected to prepare for the grinding activities by obtaining all the necessary information, documentation, tools and equipment required, and to plan how they intend to carry out the required grinding activities and the sequence of operations they intend to use. They will be required to prepare for the grinding activities by mounting, positioning and correctly setting a range of work holding devices, to mount the workpiece and use grinding techniques appropriate to the type of material, type of grinding wheel, workpiece rigidity and operations being performed.

They will be expected to grind components that combine a number of different features, such as flat faces, parallel faces, faces square to each other, angular faces, steps and slots or parallel, stepped and tapered diameters, faces, bores and special forms/profiles. During, and on completion of, the grinding 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 grinding 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 grinding activities, they will be expected to remove the work holding devices and to leave the machine and work area in a safe and tidy condition.
