「主動機可動より水圧機可動となる。」
ダイカスト工場の年代別概要の一文です。直訳すると‘Switched to water-hydraulic-pressure machine operation from main driving machine operation’ですが、意味がよくわかりません。どういう意味だか教えてください。

Main machine
Explanation:
Your other question refers to 油(湯)圧機.
もしかして、この場合は主動機が「油圧機」に対して「水圧機」に切り替えているということでは...(Swtich to the (water) hydraulic equipment from the main machine, which is driven by oil hydraulics.)
文脈に合いますでしょうか。

もう一つ考えられるのは「主動機」が「手動機」のミスですが...
Manually-driven machine?

HTH ;-)

agree  Kazumichi Sato (X): I agree. I think a correct sentence is 「主動機稼動より水圧機可動となる。」 which means "Operation of the main machine makes it possible to operate the (water) hydraulic equipment.".

  -> Thank you, shell-san. That sounds plausible, too. But wouldn't that be 「主動機稼動_に_より...?」
