Italian term

cestelli

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Machinery
Nell’armadio elettrico si trova un interruttore a chiave “C”, il quale serve a sbloccare il motore nel caso si presenta un errore dei segnali; giunto, index e cestelli camme.

The sentence is part of an instruction manual for an operator panel. I would translate the latter part as cam joint, index and baskets/racks/frame. Can anyone help me find the correct translation to use for cestelli please. Many thanks.
Proposed translations (English)
4 baskets
3 cradles

cradles

Non so se può starci nel tuo contesto, ma in una mia TM viene utilizzato anche "cradle" come sinonimo di "basket"
Note from asker:
Anche cradle potrebbe essere valido, il problema viene dal fatto che non ho la certezza. Io non ho mai incontrato il termine cestello usato in riferimento a camme e non sapendo cosa sia, e' difficile trovare la traduzione. Se faccio una ricerca su Google con cam e cradle poi trovo un sacco di riferimenti a macchine fotografiche.

Yes- if you look through the document you will see that "cams" are also explained.

"- camma comando teste di acciaio" = "steel heads control cam"

Anyway, your question was not about the meaning of "camme".
Note from asker:
Hi Tom. The basket in the reference file you've given is an actual basket for collecting bottle caps. Do you have any reference to confirm the term basket in relation to cams?
The only reference to cams that I can find in the document is on page 9 but it simply lists a control cam as one of the features. Am I missing something?
