STAND ALONE IMI MODULES

AOM133 – Bonding and mechanical fastenings following researched repair methods

This unique module was developed in 2015 and has previously been a standalone module only. The Assessed Outcome Module (AOM) covers the replacement of a panel section which is secured by adhesive / bonding and mechanical fastenings. It has been developed so that technicians can prove their competence in demonstration the following areas:

• To demonstrate their skills and ability in selecting, using and following researched repair methods

• To demonstrate their skills and ability in cutting and securing replacement body panels, using bonding and mechanical fastening technique

For this AOM the assessment is carried out on a steel panel and therefore the tooling and repair techniques relate to the steel construction material.

AOM 030

What is this?

AOM-030 we give your technicians a standardised sill section individual to the delegates, this removes the risks of overworked areas of a vehicle clashing.

The AOM-030 Sill section repair will be carried out in the work place. This will give the technician the best possible chance of achieving the desired standards.

This module is about the replacement of a welded section within the construction of a vehicle bodyshell. The candidate will be required to cut a specified section from a welded panel (i.e. a sill section) without causing damage to other vehicle systems or the vehicle structure. The candidate will cut a section from a new panel and replace the section into the vehicle body using techniques such as spot welding, MAG welding, bonding, riveting, and MIG Braze. The candidate must be able to ‘dress’ the welds to a finish where the repaired section is ready to accept body filler to a depth of no more than 2mm. The candidate must access the correct repair information / specification and use this information to carry out the repair to the vehicle bodyshell. Note that this exercise will mainly be carried out on a rig, but the competence required will be similar to those used when repairing a vehicle body shell.

AOM 028

IMI are pleased to announce that AOM 028 is now available as a standalone module. This module provides another option for accident repair workshops to be compliant with the requirements of BS10125, in relation to bonding and mechanical fastenings.

AOM 028 is about the replacement of a welded section, within the construction of a vehicle body shell. The candidate will be required to cut a section from a new panel and replace the section into the vehicle body using techniques such as spot welding, MAG welding, bonding and riveting.
