Spanish term
coronas wirth
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
Mechanics / Mech Engineering
I'm translating a trademark with a list of mechanical equipment and I can't find anything for the above term. 'coronas' can be rendered as 'bits' or 'heads' but I'm wondering if 'wirth' is a typo for something. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Here's the full list of goods for context:
Máquinas-herramientas a saber husillos a bolas de precisión, cambiadores automáticos de herramientas y cabezales, platos giratorios, engranes cónicos, coronas wirth y otros componentes complementarios susceptibles de ser montados en máquinas herramientas y en otras máquinas como prensas, inyectores de plástico o máquinas para el corte, rectificado, deformado o tratamiento superficial de materiales

As seen in the link I enclose above, the Hirth coupling consists of two toothed halves which mesh together.
This is (probably) why the author says "coronas" -each half of the coupling could be called this- but the makers use to make them in pairs, that is, to make couplings, not the parts ONLY (even if from the manufacturing viewpoint that would be correct).

: I have to agree with this rather than my own hasty answer - I was going by "bits", but "couplings" makes much more sense...!

Wirth bits
I just had something similar in a DE to EN translation. The name Wirth is associated with two well-known tool and machine component manufacturers, one in Germany, one in the US. See links below.
Of the two, I believe the German has more of an international rep, but based on your excerpt, I could not say which one is being referred to here. Although the German does specialize in drill- and other bits...

Looked good on paper, but wirth-drawn ;-/ after the answer above.

Reference:
Wirth versus Hirth
In the case of registered trade-marks, some denominations are voluntarily distorted to avoid a possible law suit on trade-mark infringement, when the part or component being used is not original. So caution might be advised before superseding Wirth with Hirth, unless Hirth is proved a typo

: Albert Hirth died in 1935. He patented his coupling, but the rights have surely lapsed.
