Tornillo Allen (de sombrerete) hexagonal de llave de casquillo.
Explanation:
Right you are. I think maybe a "cap" and not a "cup" screw.

A cap screw is a a fastener for machine parts, threaded along the whole length of its shank and held by threads tapped in the hole in which it is screwed.
I've never heard of a "cup" screw.

The socket is tool used to tighten or loosen the screw (whichever it is) and it's obviously a hexagonal socket headed screw.

Socket is llave de casquillo.

So, Tornillo Allen (de sombrerete) hexagonal de llave de casquillo. Is as close as I can get without more context.

Try it out.
