Description of prefeeding machine cycles:
"cinghie 2 attesa spintore"
"cinghie 1 attesa da cinghie 2"
My problem is: What is waiting for what? Is belt 2 waiting for the pusher? Then, is belt 2 waiting for belt 1? Would "standby" be better than "wait/waiting"?
Thanks

Standby
Better if your customer gave you more context/explanation of the processing phases/sequences involved. Could be anything. Why should the translaor have to do the engineer's work for him? Standby could be perfect, but what about pause, down time, waiting, etc.?

Comment: "thanks for your confirmation of standby. If I only had to translate precise concepts, I'd be a very happy bunny!"

timing
yes, this is another case where it would be better to understand the operation ....
just a thought, may be it's a timing belt....
