English term or phrase: guesswork
Se trata de un manual de mantenimiento de una máquina láser para elaborar piezas metálicas.

"The Gas Control system in the CP SERIES Laser contains a simple, yet efficient gas mixer to proportion the three gasses used for the active Laser medium (Fig. 1). The amount of each gas in the mixture is determined by the setting of the individual pressure regulators for each gas. To take the guesswork out of setting these regulators and to allow precise proportioning of the gas mix, a special Gas Mix test routine has been incorporated into the CP SERIES Laser Display Panel."

aproximaciones


Explanation:
Lydia's 'conjeturas' is certainly what the dico says, but I think 'aproximaciones' might be more appropriate in this context.
