Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / ... topic of degree thesis (Dipl.-Ing. (FH))
German term or phrase: ... optische Kontrolleinrichtung
the German wording of the degree thesis is "Erweiterung einer vorhandenen Schlauchschneidemaschine um eine optische Kontrolleinrichtung". I would just like to confirm that my translation is correct, especially regarding the term "optische Kontrolleinrichtung": Extension of an existing hose cutting machine by an optical checking device".
Any better suggestions?

Explanation:
I think "Kontroll" in this context is more likely to be "monitoring" than "control".

neutral  Gudrun Maydorn (X): Vermutlich eine passende Übersetzung. Es könnte jedoch auch eine Lichtschranke/Fotozelle gemeint sein, z. B. wie ein photoelectric sensor. Kommt halt auf den Kontext an.
