Italian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Paper / Paper Manufacturing
Italian term or phrase: tornio presse
This is from a (bullet point) list of rooms and departments in a paper mill:

- Locale saldatura
- Locale *tornio presse*
- Falegnameria

I found a few occurrences of "tornio pressa", so I guess *tornio presse* is a compound here, but, alas, I don't work in the field and I'm having great trouble in understanding what it may refer to (and, needless to say, in translating it).

Is anyone familiar with the term?

Explanation:
now Tornio means Lathe... http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornio
and Pressa means (Forming) Press http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressa
But the problem is they are mutually exclusive... what is a Press is not a Lathe and vice versa...
So I believe there is something missing in between them...
