inconsistency

English to French Tech/Engineering Automation & Robotics rotary die-cutting
Is your rotary die cutter having quality problems? Have you had any returns because of it? Would you like to retain more custom-ers with a quality product?
The XXX system solves the probiem of most rotary die cutters: it eliminates the **inconsistency** in the anvil diameter. Due to its large lateral movement of 300 mm (11.8 "), the XXX system ensures a perfectly uniform anvil cover surface through-out its useful life.

Comment traduire "inconsistency" ici : "incompatibilité", "irrégularité"... ?
"incohérence" ne me semble pas adapté à ce contexte.

Merci !

irrégularité

I think you are right; I wouldn't use 'incompatible', which would be the wrong meaning here.

I believe the idea is better conveyed by 'irrégularité' — the anvil diameter is not regular
Peer comment(s):

neutral ormiston : But I think the grey areas is that the irregularity is between different anvils, not that it is an imperfect circle

I did think that (otherwise I doubt they'd have used 'inconsistency' in EN), but the context is a bit thin, so I wasn't too sure; but in any case, can one not have a lack of regularity between anvils?

neutral Odile Raymond : d'accord avec Ormiston ; cela prête à confusion, c'est beaucoup plus clair si on emploie "disparité".

tourner la phrase

oui, je pense qu'ici il s'agit de (petites) différences de diamètre. Et si vous dîtes, par exemple
avec ce système XXX des variations de diamètre ne posent plus problème
(am not a native French speaker, à améliorer)
