remote hand held controller Explanation: Not certain about watchmaking, but in general these large machines have a remote control, plugged into main box that is used to set the "grinding/drilling" axes. |

pendant Explanation: It's the same word in English and French. There are many references online, the following are just a few examples. A CNC machine has a console, and the pendant is used by the operator to make fine adjustments, since he can examine the workpiece closely while holding the pendant, which is on a long cable or connected wirelessly. Search the following pages for the word "pendant" as it is buried in the text. http://www.cnconestop.com/cnc-plc-grinder-servo-spindle-driv... https://machmotion.com/id-od-grinder https://www.amazon.com/P1A-S-Pendant-Mach3-LinuxCNC-PathPilo... https://www.americanmachinist.com/machining-cutting/new-cutt... etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2018-11-06 12:55:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I used them for many years before turning to translation as a profession. |
