Italian term

controllo della quadratura

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
training document for machine fitters. they have to carry out various tests to make sure machine parts are aligned with the various X-Y axes and to calibrate error recovery systems etc.
for the "controllo di quadratura" they even use a set square at some points (in others they can't, as in some machines the run is longer than the set square). anyone have a term for this, as i can't for the life of me find a suitable one?
TIA

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

alignment check

If it is not square then the alignment will be out: out of line. And it Googles reasonably.

squaring check

quadratura is a term used to indicate precise 90° angles on the object involved. Normally, square = quadrato is the term used both for the tool itself and to indicate the action of "squaring" or setting the object up so that it has precise 90° angles at the corners.
Note from asker:
yeah, i came up with "squaring check" but couldn't find any "riscontri".
