no..its not typo as in one other file , I have come across the same..
pompes are press-ups...so we can correlate it with spring..just an opinion..rest you are the technical expert..

... these sort of probes are almost always spring-loaded; but I wish we could find some solid refs. for the use of 'pompe' in that context; I don't suppose there is any possibility that 'pompe' was a typo or scanno?

10:11 Jul 14, 2012 

But we can get idea that pompes here are spring type?

10:02 Jul 14, 2012 

I'd be very wary of both those DE refs, they are pretty poor translations, and I certainly wouldn't take their terminology as authoritative.

Agree with Tony:

These can be push back probes
Or pompes: spring type

Judging from that second picture, they are pins or probes, not spindles. As Tony suspected, they probably retract into the head of the test-set when it moves down to the DUT, which is why they seem to be colloquially known as pompes.

I'd call it a 'testing station', and I'm more than ever convinced that these 'pompes' are in fact a jargon term for the same 'broches'.

here is the picture:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BjEzHanT5iuXi5dQpVSW-fzE...

Here, the electrical parts like PCF, its cover, connections, crimping, assembly...etc are discussed but not pumps

10:46 Jul 13, 2012 

...from reading the context that these 'pompes' are not actually any form of 'pump' at all, but in fact the in-house jargon for the 'broches' — that would explain the 'c'est à dire' followed by 'des (des pompes.... des broches)

They might be called that because they are in some way spring-loaded or ressemble a 'grease / mastic pump / gun' — and the fact that they are bent or broken would explain why it is important to check them at each start-up!

If this "poste" is an electromechanical device with parts like pumps, wheels or valves, I may well call it a test machine. If it is purely electronic and does all its testing by means of electrical signals through the "broches", I would probably call it a "test set".

20:14 Jul 12, 2012 

Oliver, I have translated it as test machine but I would prefer your suggestion as you are more qualified in this domain. Shall I take it as test set-up or test gear? The context is that parts manufactured are inspected for checking if they are defective or OK (satisfactory)

20:08 Jul 12, 2012 

"pin of test machine" - perhaps, if you've already called the "poste" a "test machine" earlier in the translation. I would usually call it "testgear", "test set" or "test equipment"; depends on the context of the rest of the text and engineering judgement.

19:59 Jul 12, 2012 

The context is to check the parts manufactured: whether defective or Ok

19:58 Jul 12, 2012 

So it should be pin of test machine?

Yes, broches are sometimes spindles, but here they are the "broches du poste"; I don't see how they could be described as "permettant le contrôle électrique du I/O Protect" if they are part of a pump. I admit I don't really see the significance of "c'est à dire" - what is it equating to what?
