Italian term

applicazione

Italian to English Other Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Applicazione (heading)

L’applicazione prevede il collegamento con il mandrino della macchina utensile mediante un cono .... (this is the description part)


In this case would you use application (I don't think so) , mounting, or assembly?

It is for a catalog about boring heads.

Thanks for any help.

Alessandra Renna Aug 29, 2007:
I think "is foreseen" doesn't convey the idea of "prevedere" perfectly
Kelly Gill (asker) Aug 29, 2007:
Assembly The assembly is foreseen with a connection to the spindle of the tool machine ???

mounting/assembly

I'm not sure if this is the same idea, but when I write about attaching a hydraulic breaker to an excavator I use the words "assembly" or "mounting" or sometimes "fitting".
I would say that "mounting" is more common when we replace something on a regular basis, while assembly is often used for putting together a machine which is likely to stay together as a unit - so I imagine that "assembly" is probably more appropriate for a boring head, as it probably won't be replaced that often. What do you think?

I would say "Assembly involves connecting to the ..." or better still leave out the beginning part and start with "Connect to the ...": it may depend on whether it's a brochure or an instruction booklet
