Tech/Engineering - Automation & Robotics / Car paint application line
French term or phrase: ouvrant
This is a text about a car paint application line, does anyone know what these “ouvrants” are called in English, here's how they are used:

L’utilisation de robots 7 axes est justifié par l’accessibilité difficile des zones à peindre et par l’intégration des ouvrants.

Le concept XXX permet de combiner l’indépendance des zones de travail des robots et des ouvrants et l’application avec convoyeur continu.

Les ouvrants accèdent aux éléments à ouvrir par le bas
4 ouvrants se chargent des portes latérales et 2 ouvrants se chargent du capot et du coffre. Tous ces ouvrants sont synchronisés à l’avance du convoyeur.

Les ouvrants capot et coffre se replient et se repositionnent pour le prochain véhicule en passant sous la carrosserie.

Nombre ouvrants portes
Nombre ouvrants capot/coffre

Thanks in advance :0D

Explanation:
Here's an explanation, but I think that openers is fine....

For example, ****on automotive lines servo-controlled mechanical devices often are used to open doors, hoods and decks so the robot arm and effector can move underneath and/or inside structures for painting, coating or sealant placement.*****

it\'s the device on the robot that enables it to open hoods, doors and trunks.....
