French term
balayage [outils-machines]
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Manufacturing
Machine tools, grinding
This term is taken from the operating instructions for a machine for grinding in between watch lugs.
"Balayage" normally means scanning, but seems in this context to refer to some aspect of the grinding process. I have been unable to determine what part.
These are the 2 main examples of its use in the text (the others all being in lists):
"Balayage angulaire sur 2 meules
Ce cycle permet de meuler un angle en balayant avec 2 meules simultanément."
"Balayage sur 1 meule
Ce cycle permet de meuler un angle sur la carrure"

functioning
I remember using this word for functioning of windscreen wipers on cars. It meant purely "functioning", and nothing else. I think it also fits the context here. Best
