Italian term or phrase: atti al minuto

Il ritmo di alimentazione della macchina è inferiore a 12 atti al minuto?

This is confusing to me, as I never heard of "atti" in relation to power supply. Is this some system of measuring power?

Grading comment

As the question is generic and not in reference to a specific machine, I think it's best to not specify what it is doing 12x a minute, as you suggest

inhalations per minute

Explanation:
the 12 gives away. This is a common cut.off point for respiration machines for small children.

Example sentence(s):

Fisiologicamente, in un adulto sano a riposo, la frequenza respiratoria media (numero di atti respiratori in un minuto) si registra in un range tra i 16 e i 20. Al di sotto dei 12 atti al minuto si parla di bradipnea, mentre si parlerebbe di tachipnea nel

Asker: It's actually in relation to a welding machine

12 mins confidence:

strokes per minute

Explanation:
I've seen the word stroke used in this context a lot before. It may not necessarily work in the medical field to avoid confusion, but here it may work for you. It all really depends on what makes sense in terms of what exactly it is that the machine is doing 12 times a minute.

But yeah otherwise you could use 12 times per minute (if you don't want to avoid translating atto).

Notes to answerer

Asker: Do you know what "atti" means here?

Asker: The problem is - it is a CE questionnaire for ANY machinery. In this case it is being filled out for a welding machine. But the question is not designed to refer to welding machines.
