German term or phrase: Gutstücke
Description is of a cross-cut saw machine for cutting timber into lengths for producing packing crates, pallets etc.
Im Auslauf stehen drei Sortierstationen zur Verfügung, mit denen die Anlage die Gutücke sortiert. Die auf ein Minimum reduzierten Abfallstücke werden von den Gutstücken separiert. I assume that the Gutstücke are the on-spec workpieces suitable for further processing (into packaging material in this case). Wonder what the usual term is in English - compliant, conforming, on-spec, acceptable, or just satisfactory?
