Testing equipment
* La tête du poste descend, afin d'effectuer le contrôle électrique du I/O Protect.
=> Si la pièce est bonne, le testeur remonte automatiquement en position initiale.
* On récupère la pièce et on la range sur un plateau thermoformé
=> Si la pièce est mauvaise, le testeur reste en position de test basse, il faut alors appuyer sur
le bouton central du socle pour faire remonter le testeur en position initiale.
* Evacuer la pièce dans le bac "pièces mauvaises".
* Bien vérifier visuellemnt, à chaque démarrage, l'état des pompes ( Ex : pompes tordues, cassées, … ),
c'est-à-dire des broches du poste permettant le contrôle électrique du I/O Protect.

test station probes
I think these 'broches' act as some kind of test 'probe' or 'prod', so why not call them that?
Although it might not be the exact term, it certainly couldn't be far wrong, and rings true in terms of technical jargon.

And as for 'test station', well, it is clearly some kind of work station, and it is for testing, so...

Right! NOW we can see what they are, and I'd say they are indeed 'test probes'.
Quite why they call them 'pompes', I don't know, except that they seem to be telescopic in some way, rather like a syringe or, as I said, grease pump.
Note that these things are usually spring-loaded, to ensure they make proper contact with the EUT terminals, without damaging it.

test-set pins
In electronics, I have usually found that "broches" are (connector) pins. This "poste" appears to be a piece of test equipment, especially in view of "permettant le contrôle électrique" and "La tête du poste descend, afin d'effectuer le contrôle électrique". For testing something electrically, it certainly makes sense to use "pins" to make the contacts between the test kit and the DUT (Device Under Test).
Note from asker:
Perfect, yes poste here is equipment /workstation |

Your answer made us to dig more...thank you |

: Having now seen the photos of the actual equipment, I don't now think this would probably be the best solution here.

the spindles in the area/zone
From the source text this phrase might fit...the French text refers to pumps and having them checked...and they rest on spindles. A "broche" could be a skewer-like object, e.g, for roasting; it could also be a pin. Spindle seems to fit best in the context of a pump.
Note from asker:
Why area? |
Peer comment(s):
disagree |
Tony M
: I don't think this is at all what it is talking about (probably electrical), and in any case, 'spindle' is a relatively rare word in technical jargon, certainly wouldn't be my first choice in a guessing situation.

pompes are press-ups...so we can correlate it with spring..just an opinion..rest you are the technical expert..
http://www.feinmetall.de/fileadmin/user_upload/_temp_/VF100_...
These can be push back probes
Or pompes: spring type
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!
