Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / Laser Product Specification
German term or phrase: Spannpilz
"§ Die Stopperronde wird mittels Spannpilzen auf die TL gepreßt, wobei der Spanndruck abgefragt wird
§ Die Stopperronde wird mittels Laser und CNC-Achsen radial auf der TL verschweißt
§ TL mit aufgeschweißter Stopperronde wird mit dem Carrier an die Entnahmestation befördert und auf Vorhandensein der Stopperronde geprüft
§ TL mit Stopperronde wird mittels Handlingsystem vom Carrier in das
Lochwerkzeug auf Presse 3 transportiert
§ In der Presse 3 werden die Brennraumbohrungen nachgelocht
§ Die fertige TL mit Stopper wird mittels Handlingsystem aus der Presse transportiert
und auf einem Band abgestapelt"

From a laser product specification. I can't make head or tail of "Spannpilz". Clamping mushroom??? I very much doubt it!!! TIA for helping me make some sense of this nutty word!

PS: TL stands for Trägerlage, which I have asked about here:

dome-headed rod
Explanation:
I think "pilz" must refer to the shape of the device used for pressing the Stopperronde on to the TL. (Google was unable to find a Spannpilz)

Grading comment
I'm giving the points to this answer, mainly on the basis of Kenneth Cox's peer grade comment. Another thought I had belatedly was "mushroom clamp", which does get a couple of search engine hits, but "dome-headed stud" is probably a better bet. I feel just confident enough about it to enter it in the glossary, though not quite sure enough to give it maximum points. But anyway, thanks for your help, everyone. Very much appreciated.

a tuffy!


Explanation:
no googles for Spannpilz! But Ernst offers "block / gear cluster" and "button tool" for Drehpilz. Could it be a mushroom (fungiform) tool or applicator?

block/gear cluster were suggested for \"Pilz\". Pilzmeissel= also \"button tool\"?

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Ken Cox: or 'dome-headed stud' if it's relatively short (which I think is more likely). I've encountered 'xxxpilz' before in other mechanical contexts, and I agree that it refers to the shape of the object.
