Explanation:
The complete phrase, as it appeared in the e-mail notice about this question, is: "Se adelanta la contrapunta de manera que el barreguia frontal quede..." More context would be extremely helpful, but based on the clues provided (i.e., the fact that the field is technical/engineering, with specific reference to procedures for machinability testing), I can offer a suggestion or two. Machinability implies the use of a metalworking tool, and the word "contrapunta" ("tailstock") suggests that the tool in question is a lathe. (Every lathe has two gripping elements that hold the workpiece in position. One of these elements (the headstock) is fixed, and the other (the tailstock) is adjustable.) "Barreguia" is probably a drill guide ("barrena" plus "guia"). Consequently, your fragment could be rendered as "The tailstock is advanced [or moved forward] so that the front drill guide stays..." (in place, perhaps). Hope this gives you something to work with!

I assume it is a buldozzer or a shovel.

Hope this is of help. Anyway, more context would have been of help for us.
