Italian term
attrezzaggio della trafila
Italian to English
Tech/Engineering
Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Good morning. This is the objective of an operating procedure for "attrezzaggio trafila"(for steel pipes) :
Stabilire la corretta sequenza di operazioni per eseguire l'attrezzaggio della trafila.
In the company glossary they translate "trafila" as "drawbench" and attrezzaggio as "tooling" .
I can't figure out what exactly they are doing here.

set up the extruder
Pipe is NOT usually 'drawn' (as this would make it flat like a ribbon) - pipe, especially plastic and steel pipes are usually made through 'extrusion.' [see Web reference 1] Although 'draw bench' is a translation for 'trafila' - that is usually for flat pieces of metal - especially in a blacksmith's shop. [i.e. We don't pull the pipe out of the machine, but force it out (like a baby)]
In this case - for pipe - it is probably the second definition NOT the first one that appears in a dictionary:
trafila 1 (macchina per trafilatura) (macch. ut.), drawbench. 2 (macchina a estrudere) (macch. ind. gomma - macch. lav. metall.), extruder.
[source Hoepli's The Complete Technical Dictionary]
"Tubing, either metal or plastic, is generally extruded. [source Wikipedia]
The whole sentence to be translated in the T1 is referring to the setting-up/preparing of the pipe extruder.
Reverse translation
extruder (rubber industry and metalworking mach.), estrusore, trafila, macchina per estrudere; (mech. - plast.), macchina per l'estrusione di tubi.
setup (arrangement: as of an instr.), sistemazione, preparazione, messa a punto.

By the way - I think in the sense 'attrezzaggio' is used here - we cannot say 'tooling.'
'Tooling' has the idea to repair equipment or to change parts of the equipment. In the complete T1 provided with the question -- it is more like they are starting the machine for use in the assembly process. There is no idenication they are repairing the machine or changing its parts.

Example sentence:
<b>Set up the extruder</b> and extrude enough material for the machine to arrive at a rather stable condition. [web source]
To order a color you will need at least 2000 pounds of plastic to <b>set up the extruder</b> for each color. [web source]
Note from asker:
how about equipping the drawbench? I have been told to stick with the terms used in the company glossary which is why I am using drawbench (or perhaps I should ask the client if they are sure about drawbench) |
I spoke with the client who decided on "set up/ setting up" the drawbench |

Thanks for your help - the customer decided on "setting up" or "set up" for attrezzaggio |
