German term

verfahren

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) waterjet cutting system
I have a VERY faulty translation memory that has translated this with "traversing" but there are so many errors that I cannot trust it.

Whenever possible I have used "move" but I am simply not sure what the proper term should be.

Here one example:
Schnittteile dürfen erst nach dem Verfahren der Schneidtische entnommen werden

I am looking forward to your thoughts
Proposed translations (English)
4 +3 move
4 +2 travel
4 +1 to traverse
4 -1 procedure/technique/process

Johannes Gleim Feb 19, 2007:
To Milinad: Cutting tables, as well as cutting heads can travel/traverse/move (verfahren werden). The context does not deal with processing at the table.
margarete (asker) Feb 19, 2007:
@Milinad: Nope, not possible, that would be: Verfahren AN den SchneidtischeN...
margarete (asker) Feb 18, 2007:
Thank you Johanna!!
Johanna Timm, PhD Feb 18, 2007:
I un-graded the question for you.
margarete (asker) Feb 18, 2007:
@ Johannes: Thanks, so "traversing" is also possible. Because I did not find any good references for this usage.
margarete (asker) Feb 18, 2007:
I wanted to decline Tim's answer and selected it instead. Please keep answering. I am trying to have the selection reversed.

Thanks and my appologies

move

I'd say here; "not until the cutter has finished its move"; it's a sensible warning, when you're dealing with dangerous machinery...
Ernst WB der industriellen Technik backs this up, by the way

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks to all of you! I went with move and at times with travel because these are the more general terms that worked better in my context. "

procedure/technique/process

...depending on context
Peer comment(s):
disagree Andrzej Lejman : It refers to the movement of cutting table.

disagree Johannes Gleim : like Andrej

agree milinad : without more context this could be possible (meaning parts are removed after processing at the cutting table)

travel

is the verb used in connection with the movement of machine parts

Indeed, the expression in not very precise... they don't even mention the direction or so. I would say "The cutting tables have to travel first, before you may remove the cutting tools" or similar.
Note from asker:
Thanks Andrzej. But ...after the travel of the cutting table...sounds a bit odd. Unfortunately I am lacking further context in order to give a more descriptive rendering. For example I am not sure if the movement has to be finished... Thanks
Peer comment(s):
agree Johannes Gleim : to travel is also possible, as my proposal to traverse

to travel is a general term and to traverse is a specific kind of movement, not a synonym. I'm dealing with lots of CNC manuals, though mostly DE > PL.

to traverse

Various applications of laser cutting in 2D and 3D, laser drilling and laser welding must be possible. ... Rapid traverse speed linear X / Y: 120 m/min.

As shown by LEO "traverse" is a technical term used for "verfahren"
