Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering
French term or phrase: excentromat
This is in a document describing different machining centres, it is just stated twice in a list of features with no details or hints on what it actually is, I have no hits on google and I even tried writing it differently and still nothing. Does anyone know what it means?
Here is an example in a description of positive and negative aspects of one of the machines:

Montant mobile
structure en fonte
guidage hydrostatique
coulant avec axe C intégré

négatif: tête d'usinage datée
multiplicateur nécessaire pour atteindre 4000tr/mn
pas de post pro
nacelle peu détaillée et sa course est limitée
pas d'excentromat

exentromat
Explanation:
It's difficult to offer any positive evidence, since, as you say, there is nothing online for "excentromat". However, "exentromat" does exist and I think there's a pretty strong change that this is what it refers to. It's a registered trade name of a German company, Konrad Armaturentechnik GmbH (formerly Alfred Konrad Maschinenfabrik GmbH), and it's a type of industrial valve developed in the 1960s. Here's their description:

"History of the EXENTROMAT® - Industrial Valves
The 1960s saw the development of an innovative valve design. A proper metal-to-metal sealing became possible for the first time – thanks to a double eccentric butterfly arrangement which also came with an improved sealing geometry. And it is with this high-quality welded design that customized Konrad valves have earned a great reputation worldwide under the registered trademark of EXENTROMAT®.
Our industrial valves are used wherever demanding operating parameters are concerned or particularly stringent safety requirements are applied. Owing to our deep-rooted commitment towards quality and our decade-long experience we can assure excellent leak-tightness, technical functionality and an extraordinarily long service life of our products."

"Pretty strong change" in line 2 above is a typo for "pretty strong chance".
