German term or phrase: Absteckungen
Translating a manual for a car body manufacturing plant consisting of several component loading/unloading, welding, adhesive application, curing stations with robots.

This section deals with "Absteckungen" which could be (not very sure) pins or stakes hat are secured into, stuck into, pegged into, etc. equipment to keep them from moving while doing maintenance. Need a hint to push me in the right direction. Ernst gives "marking" or "pegging" for Absteckung.

The terms "Absteckbolzen" and "elektropneumatischen Wartungsabsteckungen" might give clues as to the shape and form of these devices.

Context:
Die nachstehend aufgeführten Absteckungen in den jeweiligen Stationen dienen dem Sichern von Anlagenteilen bei Wartungs- und Instandsetzungsarbeiten vor unbeabsichtigten Bewegungen.

Absteckungen werden zur Vermeidung von Gefahren durch unbeabsichtigte Bewegung eingesetzt. Eine nicht vorhersehbare Maschinen- oder Vorrichtungsbewegung wird dadurch verhindert.

Man muß in der Anlage zwischen elektropneumatischen Wartungsabsteckungen und zyklischen Absteckungen unterscheiden.

Das Hubshuttle und die Übersetzer werden zu Wartungszwecken elektropneumatisch abgesteckt. Das Hubshuttle muß zusätzlich noch durch einen manuellen Absteckbolzen gesichert werden. Hubshuttle und Übersetzer werden auf unterschiedliche Weise abgesteckt:

- zum Abstecken des Hubshuttle wird der Kraus-Naimer-Schalter an der Absteckbox, die an jeder Schutztür angebracht ist, in die Stellung I gebracht.

- m Abstecken der Übersetzer muß eine Funktionstaste am HMI-Bedientableau oder der Kraus-Naimer-Schalter an der zugehörigen Schutztür gedrückt werden.

Dadurch werden die Absteckbolzen elektropneumatisch eingebracht.

Die Übersetzer werden zyklisch abgesteckt. Zyklische Absteckungen werden anlagengesteuert elektropneumatisch eingebracht und wieder aufgehoben.

locking pins / securing pins
Explanation:
The pins are inserted e.g. in doors, moving parts, raised parts, etc. to secure them against indavertent movement during maintenance or repairs.

In your case, some of the pins are operated electropneumatically when a maintenance or service switch is actuated.

In farm machinery, "Abstecken" is done typically by means of linch pins.

Plenty of refs (I do not have the time to find a nice one).
