Spanish term or phrase: tulipa
No se trata de la flor sino de una peza de una máquina con esta forma supongo.
El sistema de funcionamiento de la máquina en inglés se llama Pick and Place, prqué coge las botellas por el tapón y las introduce en las cajas. Pues bien, la tulipa es el cabezal que coje la botella por el tapón. No tengo ni idea de como se llama en inglés. Muchas gracias.
