German term

rapportgenau

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Slitter Rewinder
"Bei einem Mutterrollendurchmesser von 1.300 mm bietet der ein- und ausschwenkbare Vakuum-Klebetisch am Abwickler die nötige Hilfe beim rapportgenauen Verkleben zweier Bahnen, aber auch den nötigen Platz beim Einbringen der neuen Mutterrolle."

Talking about a slitter rewinder (or something along those lines). I can't make head or tail of rapportgenau and no dictionary seems to have heard of it. TIA for any light you can shed on yet another really obscure word.

I don't know anything about this technology either. In fact, I've been completely out of my depth with this particular text (which doesn't often happen to me), so I certainly won't be doing anything in this particular field again.

I don't know anything about this technology, so I don't know how you translate Bahnen, but doesn't it just mean "high-precision" in the sense that there's a precise relationship (Rapport) between the two?
