German term or phrase: Zellwinkel
"Nach der Übergabe vom Kassettenband der Blistermaschine in den Schacht werden die Blister vereinzelt in die *Zellwinkel* übergeben. Eine Sensorik erkennt, ob sich in den *Zellwinkeln* der Blisterkette ein Blister befindet."
All suggestions are appreciated.

blister cavity
Explanation:
Ich verstehe das auch so, dass die "Zellwinkel" die Loecher sind, wo die Blister reinkommen. Diese nennt man blister cavities. Mit Blisterkette ist vielleicht ein "blister strip" gemeint. Cell angle gives a lot of goolge hits, since it is a commonly used term in crystallography. Es hoert sich wirklich so an, als ob dieser Text schon aus einer anderen Sprache uebersetzt wurde.

well, if the author does not use standard terminology, how should you use standard terminology. Guessing what the author wants to say does not really bring much as you may be guessing incorrectly. Blister chain at least gets some google hits, Blisterkette gets zilch. Maybe the author was translating back from English to German, and that's why the English makes more sense than the German.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thx Edith, author of this text does not use standard terminology for lots of things, must therefore guess what he/she is actually trying to say. What do you make of Blisterkette - blister chain??
