Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering
German term or phrase: Zug-Spindel-Drehmaschine
I know that Spindel-Drehmaschine is translated with "sliding lathe", but how about the "Zug-", do I translate this with "traction", "hauling" or "pulling". Professionals and native speakers please help. I cannot give any context. This is one glossary in alphabetical order of approx. 45,000 without any context!

drawing spindle lathe


Explanation:
I have found a translation for "Zugspindel" which is "drawing spindle" and I do believe there may be such a thing as a "drawing spindle lathe" but cannot substantiate this, hence my low confidence level.
