Alineador - dos alineadores horizontales

Hello!

I have been translating a document related to a scaffold system, and unfortunately, I am not able to find the word "alineador". After reviewing the website of the owners of said scaffold, I found the following text:

"El conjunto utiliza dos alineadores horizontales para garantizar muros sin deformaciones".

I first thought that "alineadores" were an inherent part of the scaffold, but now I am not that sure. It seems to be an extra part included as an improvement. What do you think it is? How would you translate it?

Thank you!​

    Scaffolds are normally aligned by adjustable bracing bars that run in an angle from the gound up.
    But these are horizontal, according to the text.
    Could you provide a link to the manufacturer of this scaffold?
    Thank you

    I found this last week but it wasn't much help. It's a technical article from a construction magazine "Construir Nicaragua" written by Boris Rios within which is found the OP's exact wording, which I think is the very document @Symbellmines is translating. Hit Ctrl + F and plug in the phrase "alineadores horizontales" and it will be highlighted in the document's text.

    Gracias, pops!

    @Symbellmines :
    Este documento no describe andamios, sino moldes metálicos (aluminio grueso) para fundición in-situ de paredes de concreto.
    En efecto, estos moldes, cuyas dimensiones son como de 3 x 3 metros, requieren alguna forma de atornillado y alineación entre ellos.

    De esa forma, varios de ellos pueden cubrir una pared larga y/o alta, mientras se mantienen alineados en un mismo plano, evitando escalones o desviaciones donde dos bordes de los moldes se unen.

    La asociación con la palabra "scaffold" podría tener su orígen en la opción de fábrica de algunos de estos paneles de ser suministrados con plataformas horizontales que se les atornilla una vez armado el molde completo, y que sirven para que los constructores puedan caminar mientras se vierte la mezcla de concreto, se aplica vibrador, etc.

    Mi sugerencia:
    Alignment keys for aluminum formwork (for concrete walls).
