Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to construct jigs and fixtures used in the assembly or construction of plastic products.This unit applies to an experienced technician working alone or as part of a team.The unit principally refers to using jigs and fixtures to assist with assembly and/or trimming tasks during production processes. While some workplaces may use semi-automated or robotic helper units, and skills relating to programming or operating these are not covered by this unit.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
