German term or phrase: Aufnahme
Context:

Der Kunststoffschlauch wird ausgestoßen und im Werkzeug an einem Ende gefangen. Die Roboterhand greift das andere Ende und legt den Schlauch in die untere Formhälfte ein. Die Formwerkzeuge fahren in Position und schließen. Jetzt wird der Schlauch darin aufgeblasen.
Anschließend kann das fertige Formteil entnommen werden.
--> Der plastische Schlauch wird extrudiert und landet exakt in der AUFNAHME. Diese schließt und das Einlegen beginnt.

My suggestions: intake point, insertion point, inclusion...Quite lost here...

Explanation:
Here are a few more possibilities, and I'd say ask the customer (if he has any idea of English) which suits best - you may yourself however be able to decide on the basis of WHAT the "Einlegen" is...

mount or support


Explanation:
It's usually some sort of holding device, so mount or support should work here, I'd have thought

socket


Explanation:
I can understand the problem as Aufnahme is such a ubiquitous term. One possibility that comes to mind is socket - " a hollow in which something fits or revolves" (Concise Oxford English Dictionary)
