"OPTIONEN
Angusszapfenkontrolle
Je nach Installationsposition kann die Angusszapfenbohrung kontrolliert werden.
Räder ohne Bohrung können sofort auf ein NIO-Band abgeschoben werden.
Somit können teure Stillstände und Kollisionen in den nachfolgenden CNC-Bearbeitungsmaschinen verhindert werden."

I think it means sprue plug. Not sure, though. Can anybody help? It would be much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
