Technical language.

Question

I have to translate a large quotation from a manufacturer and I have found some problems to translate some words which mention some components of the machine (which is done to manufacture windings) that we want to purchase. It says:

• 2 drums + 2 spoolpack wire dereeler
• 2 full-width isolation payoffs - 76.2mm leaf-type airshaft.

I have no idea what those things are. Could any one help me out?

Que pregunta tortuosa.. - annierats, Apr 19, 2013

Lol tienes toda la razon Annie :) - Kiwi-Girl, Apr 20, 2013

Answer 1

2 drums + 2 spoolpack wire dereeler.

This may be + 2 tambores + 2 carretes para desbobinado de cable (alambre?)

The other line, I have no idea, unless I can see a blueprint or a schematic of the machine and/or the parts.

I can try to make an educated guess though. It may be : 2 alimentadores aislados de ancho completo + eje expandible tipo hoja de 76.2mm (de diámetro?)

Thank you! That makes sense. I think that it is very close to what those components are. :) I'll try to put a picture tomorrow. - -cae-, Apr 20, 2013

Answer 2

Ill have a go at the first line ....

A machine drum can be either tambor, cilindro or sometimes bobina.

How about paquete de carretes for spool pack?

Wire dereeler; "devanador de alambre"

Here's a link explaining the term payoff.

Muchas gracias. Me has sorprendido con tu dominio del lenguaje técnico. :) Tus términos son correctos y me han dado buenas ideas. - -cae-, Apr 21, 2013

Muy amable pero no puedo tomar toda la gloria, el mayor parte pertenece a google no más ;) - Kiwi-Girl, Apr 21, 2013

Answer 3

spool: canilla ?? ( ok, that's of wool)

drum: bidón??

Actually, cae, as you may perceive, I have no idea. I just hope that if I start some answers, somebody may actually have a clue as to what you're talking about..

Thanks for the help :) - -cae-, Apr 20, 2013

I did see some pictures of these sort of things, but unfortunatly I still had no idea what they were. - annierats, Apr 20, 2013
