Italian term or phrase: Bascula
ROTAZIONE PINZE ANTIORARIA BASCULA STAZIONE 1 RESINA

Please could you help with the term "bascula"? I'm pretty sure it's not weighbridge in this context as it's not weighing anything. Maybe it's tilting device? Not sure. The machine in question is a "resin impregnation machine"

Thank you!
