French term

pointe

French to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) automatic gluing machine
Term appears in the penultimate line below. This is taken from a description of the parts of an automatic gluing machine (paper rolls). What could these 'pointes' be?

Cylindre et évacuateur de maculature
Cet équipement se divise en deux parties, le cylindre d'aspiration et l'évacuateur maculature.
Le cylindre d'aspiration est composé des éléments suivants: l'entraînement de rotation (moteur et variateur), l'embrayage, l'encodeur, le doigt d'indexage, les zones vacuums, les ***pointes*** et la photocellule de contrôle prise et évacuation maculature.
Proposed translations (English)

nozzle / dispensing nozzle

It's a hunch; I would have expected this to be with the other elements mentioned in the text.

However, not easy to be conclusive; I don't have enough info on the equipment.
