2. Read the following arcle and answer the quesons that follow.

Working as a Fier (also known as a Mechanical Engineering Tradesperson)

If you enjoy a physical challenge and doing praccal, hands on work, this type of occupaon may just t

your style. Fing work requires the use of hand skills for the assembly and maintenance of equipment

found throughout a wide range of industries. These include manufacturing industries such as metal

products, plascs, food and beverage and paper products to name a few. Other industries such as mining

and forestry, involving the maintenance of mobile equipment, also provide job opportunies. Fing work

is performed in a wide range of environments such as producon facilies, mechanical workshops, onsite

and outdoors or underground in a mine.

Mobile cranes, elevated work plaorms, forklis and mining equipment are just some of the machines

that a er may repair or service. Other equipment includes power transmission gearboxes, conveyors,

lis, rolling mills, food producon and packaging machinery. Machinery may be highly automated and

include hydraulic and pneumac systems. Some ng work requires the ability to work accurately when

assembling precision components such as gearboxes and turbines. Replacing bearings, aligning couplings,rebuilding pumps and other components are other tasks carried out every day by a er.

A wide range of hand tools such as sockets, spanners, torque wrenches, hammers, chisels, scrapers,

screwdrivers and many others are ulised to assemble and repair parts. Other power tools such as angle

grinders, power drills, cold cut saws, fricon saws and bench drills form part of the range of tools that a

er is trained to use. Specialised equipment including welders, oxyacetylene and plasma cuers are also

used.

Maintenance work oen involves break down repair of equipment, however preventave maintenance

strategies connue to become more common. Condion monitoring is ulised to track and in some cases

predict the operang condion of machines. This includes measuring energy usage, vibraon,temperature and the amount of wear parcles in lubricang uids. Other technology such as lasers

enables shorter setup mes when aligning shas and other equipment. The ulmate aim of preventave

maintenance is to ensure that the machine is reliable and available for maximum producon output.

Working safely is vitally important as workplaces oen contain large heavy equipment that may cause

serious injury.

Quesons - Working as a Fier

a. What are the two main types of ng work that requires the use of hand skills?

b. List four industries in which ng work is carried out.



c. Name two dierent work environments in which a er may

carry out work?

d. List four machines that a er may repair or service.

e.

List four types of hand tools that a er may use.

f. Name four types of measurements carried out as part of condion monitoring.

3. Read the following arcle and answer the quesons that follow.

Working as a Machinist (also known as a Mechanical EngineeringTradesperson)

Work carried out by a Machinist involves the use of machines to make

parts from plasc, steel, aluminium, brass and other engineering

materials. Machinists can also use a lathe to resize exisng parts aer

resurfacing by metal spraying. The required accuracy of machining

may be high, especially when producing precision parts that operate

with small gaps between them. Technical drawing interpretaon skills

are important to enable the machinist to manufacture parts to the

correct size and surface nish required.

Manual machines such as lathes, drills, borers and mills are regularly ulised for producon of large sized

or small quanes of general parts. Automated machinery such as Computer Numerical Control (CNC)

Manual Lathe



machining centres and lathes are suitable for high volume producon work. They

are also popular for machining of small quanty precision

parts due to their high accuracy and ne surface nish.

Machinists program and operate CNC machines.

Computer controlled machines are becoming moresophiscated with turning and milling funcons now

combined into one machine. In some cases, these machines

can move simultaneously in up to ve axis and produce parts

with very complex shapes. The ulmate objecve of

machining is to make a part using minimal amount of

material within the shortest amount of me.

The correct selecon of materials, machine and tooling is crical to achieve the

required accuracy and speed. Modern materials now include tanium and other

tough or hard metals. When machining hard materials, cuers made from

specialised materials to prevent wear and tool damage are ulised. This ensuresthat the size and nish of the part is within specicaon and the cung tool lasts

as long as possible. Micrometers and gauges are ulised to check that sizes of small diameter parts

are correct. For larger or complex parts, coordinate measuring machines are

used to measure in several dimensions with the part mounted staonary while

the measuring probe moves around the part.

Quesons – Working as a Machinist

a. What are four common types of materials machined?

b.

List the two reasons that technical drawing interpretaon skills are important.

c. What types of machines are ulised to make large sized or small quanes of parts?

CNC Machining Centre

Coordinate Measuring

Machine Probe



d. What types of machines are popular for manufacturing small parts

due to their high level of accuracy and ne surface nish?

e.

How many axis can some computer numerical control machines operate simultaneously?

f. What are two main components in the objecve of machining?

g. What are the two main requirements achieved by selecng the correct combinaon of

materials, machine and tooling?

h. What are two types of measuring instruments used to measure small diameter parts?



Secon 2 - Problem Solving and Numeracy

Problem Solving

1. Aer xing seven parts on the machine, the Fier is only half way through compleng the task.

What is the total number of parts requiring repair?

2. A Fier has obtained twenty parts and needs een more to complete an assembly.

Unfortunately, the store only has seven more parts available. How many parts will the Fier need

to order to enable the task to be nally completed?

3. A Fier is driving to a site where a mobile crusher needs repairs and must drive another twenty

kilometres to reach the work site. The speed limit is eighty kilometres per hour. What is the

minimum me it will it take, in minutes, to reach the desnaon safely without breaking the

speed limit?

4. A Fier working in a cement manufacturing plant is connecng a large motor to a gearbox and

needs ten bolts to assemble a coupling. The bolts available are longer than required and need

cung shorter to make them t. As each one will take nine minutes to cut, how many hours willit take to cut all of the bolts to the correct length?

5. A Machinist has used a computer controlled lathe to turn ten parts from a length of metal and has

used up one third of the total material available. How many more pieces can the Machinist make

before running out of metal?

6. Aer making parts on a lathe, the Machinist needs to drill six holes in the end of each sha at

equal distance to each other around a circular paern. How many degrees will the Machinist

rotate the part before drilling the next hole?



7. Read the following informaon about Personal Protecve Equipment

(PPE) and answer the quesons on the next page.

Personal protecve clothing, hand protecon and foot protecon are oen

necessary and respiratory protecve equipment may be required when dangerous gases and

dusts are present. Personal Protecve Equipment (PPE) includes clothing, equipment and

substances designed to be worn or used by a person to protect them from risks of injury or

disease.

PPE is only to be used in the workplace where it is not reasonably praccable to control hazards

by other means.
