Please could you close the question in that case.

When I posted this question I also posted another one for "anima". Tom in London sent an image as an explanation which is exactly the same as the picture I have in the manual (without captions), so anima = web and piattabanda = flange. Thanks to everybody anyway.

Glossaries and definitions like this can be tricky. My approach to this would depend on how the word appears elsewhere in the manual, and what exactly this item is for, which is not clear from your context. Is it a piece of metal that's being welded?
Can you give us examples of the word being used in the rest of the text?
