Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to operate coordinate measuring machines (CMM) in a production environment, including basic setting up of components and manually aligning probes.Where other machines/processes are to be adjusted as a consequence of the CMM operation, appropriate machining/process operation units should also be selected.Where basic operation excludes setting up components and manually aligning probes is required unit MEM07024 Operate and monitor machine and process should also be selected.Where interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.Where the selection and use of tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 4
