Gegenzüge

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks die-making for side frame of new car
Context:

Short press release about a die-maker manufacturing forming dies for the side frame of a new car model to be launched shortly. "Gegenzüge" seems to refer to "Tiefziehen" as the manufacturing method to be used for the side frame. My tentative ideas: reverse draws, counterdraws?

Paragraph in which the term occurs (***):

{Co. name} stellt schon seit vielen Jahren als Werkzeugspezialist Seitenwandwerkzeuge für nahezu alle europäischen Automobilisten her ...
"Eine Herausforderung bei den {name of car manufacturer}-Werkzeugen waren vor allem der extreme Umformungsgrad und die starken ***Gegenzüge*** der Seitenwand", so {Manager's name}. "Der Kunde erwartet eine absolut fehlerfreie Oberfläche."

MTIA for your helpful input,
Steffen

contra-facets

Using `züge´ as courses or directions, and referring to the finished product rather than the manufacturing process. `Extreme Umformungsgrad´ seems to imply that the side wall is being more folded into shape than just simply curved. Shades of those wierd things that Citroen used to knock out in the 60`s and 70`s!

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks for your comment. I am still not sure as there has not been any customer feedback yet (nor is there any to be expected, I'm afraid). However, I do think that the "Gegenzüge" form part of the deep-drawing process used to manufacture the side panel/frame."
