This unit identifies the training and development required in order that the learner can demonstrate that they are competent in being able to:
To prepare for the assembly activities by obtaining all necessary information, documentation, tools and equipment required, and to plan how they intend to carry out the required assembly activities and the sequence of operations they intend to use.
They will be required to select the appropriate equipment to use, based on the assembly operations to be carried out and the type of fluid power equipment being assembled, which will include hydraulic, pneumatic or vacuum systems.
In carrying out the fluid power assembly operations, they will be required to follow specific assembly techniques in order to assemble the various components, which will include rigid and flexible pipework, hoses, valves, actuators and cylinders, regulators, switches and sensors. The assembly activities will also include making all necessary checks and adjustments to ensure that fluid power components are correctly positioned and aligned are dimensionally accurate and secure; pipework is dimensionally accurate and free from ripples, creases and damage; and joints are checked for security, with threaded devices tightened correctly. They will also be expected to carry out appropriate test procedures (such as leak or pressure) to confirm that the fluid power assembly meets the operational performance required.
Their responsibilities will require them to comply with health and safety requirements and organisational policy and procedures for the fluid power assembly activities undertaken. They will need to take account of any potential difficulties or problems that may arise with the assembly activities, and to seek appropriate help and advice in determining and implementing a suitable solution. They will work under a high level of supervision, whilst taking responsibility for Their own actions and for the quality and accuracy of the work that they carry out.
Their underpinning knowledge will provide an understanding of their work, and will enable them to apply appropriate fluid power assembly techniques and procedures safely. They will understand the assembly process, and its application, and will know about the fluid power equipment being assembled, the system components, tools and consumables used, to the required depth to provide a sound basis for carrying out the activities to the required specification.
They will understand the safety precautions required when carrying out the assembly activities, and when using assembly tools and equipment. They will be required to demonstrate safe working practices throughout, and will understand the responsibility they owe to themselves and others in the workplace.
They will be able to apply the appropriate behaviours required in the workplace to meet the job profile and overall company objectives, such as strong work ethic, positive attitude, team player, dependability, responsibility, honesty, integrity motivation and commitment.
