Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / roll-to-roll sublimation calander (thermal transfer printing)
Italian term or phrase: al minimo tiro
Come indicazione iniziale i freni andranno regolati al minimo tiro, per facilitarne la trazione manuale o da parte del tappeto in feltro, evitando però che la bobina si srotoli da sola. Anche le frizioni andranno regolate al minimo tiro, per permettere l’ancoraggio del materiale all’anima di cartone, e solo successivamente potranno essere regolate per il recupero corretto del materiale.

I understand that this probably indicates the "fine-tuning" of the brakes, but is there a more specific way of saying this?
Thanks in advance.
