Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) | | Dutch term or phrase: op band zetten | A belated Happy New Year to you all!
I am currently translating a short memo for a manufacturer of fastening systems, and am struggling with the above phrase.
The context is as follows:
"De productieketen laat zich op hoofdlijnen in een aantal fases onderscheiden. De eerste stap in het productieproces begint bij het draadtrekken uit de ruwe grondstof, vervolgens wordt een deel van het getrokken draad gegalvaniseerd. Hierna is het draad geschikt voor de productie van spijkers en het op band zetten voor de productie van de nieten, brads en pins."
All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded within 72 hours.
Many thanks,
Anne |
