GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Stretching machine manual
Italian term or phrase: punti di forza (in this context)
"Tutti i punti di forza della macchina vanno controllati per individuare eventuali fenomeni di fatica"

This can't be strong points can it?

I was thinking "Supporting points" or "support structures"

No other context I'm afraid!
