    Hello

    Well bau means Build so a Fensterbau Machine would be a machine that makes window frames and a portalkran is a Gantry crane.

    If you would like to give me a link to give I could check it out better.

    Are you ok one the other words?

    Regards
    Ian

    hi! thanks for your answer. unfortunately i have no links, i have to translate those terms into English. what is the difference then between overhead crane and Gantry crane? i agree on fensterbaumachine's meaning but then fenstermachine, what does it mean? window machine? tx again, very appreciated

    Hello caruana20,

    it is a little difficult to translate something like "Fenstermachine" or "Fensterbaumachine". Literally this word would mean something like "Window machinery". Maybe you can tell the meaning by describing like "I am looking for a machinery to produce windows..."?

    Leit- und Zugspindeldrehmaschine: screw cutting and bar lathe, horizontal turning machine
    Absauganlage: exhaust system, exhausting plant, suction plant or suction unit

    Translation needs context - it is not a 1:1 thing. Without more context/pictures/discussion you won't be able to improve the accuracy of the "guesses" of your translation....
