Stripping pin
Mechanical pins timed to the die that push slugs away from the cutting cavity.
Thick liners
High parts-per-rev tooling
- Precision-ground pins mount through the die body or backup plate.
- Ideal when positive mechanical ejection is required without air.
- Pins can be removable for service.
Pulse air
Timed bursts of air eject slugs before they can reattach to the web.
Wide webs
Adhesive-heavy constructions
- Mechanical manifold valving keeps pulses synchronized to the press repeat; no encoder required.
- Simple retrofit for existing lines with shop air available.
- Pairs well with vacuum collection systems to capture debris.
Pin eject
Spring-loaded pins integrated into the die cavity release material on exit.
Small cavities
Tight tolerance parts
- Pins reside below the cutting surface until the die clears the substrate.
- Common on medical parts where debris control is critical.
- Available in stainless or tool steel tips depending on wear.
Vacuum
Vacuum manifolds capture slugs and carry them away from the die zone.
Continuous slug removal
Simple slug removal
- Self Contained and easy to clear.
- Connects to plant vacuum or a dedicated collector for uninterrupted removal.
- Often paired with pulse air for flawless release on coated liners.
Vacuum transfer
Transfers slugs or finished parts across a vacuum rail to keep die stations clear.
Long transfer distances
High volume part collection
- Manifold has both air and vacuum to hold part until desired removalable position.
- Ideal when parts need to be carried away from the cutting station for inspection or packaging.
- Pairs with air or pulse eject systems for complete part control.
Spring plunger
Compact plungers provide constant upward force to lift parts as soon as the cut finishes.
Short runs
Rapid changeovers
- Plungers swap quickly without disassembling the die body.
- Useful on prototype programs when eject requirements are evolving.
- Multiple force ratings available for delicate or rigid materials.
Air eject
Constant low-pressure air stream assists in part release on delicate liners.
Low durometer liners
High speed work
- Less aggressive than pulse air; maintains a steady cushion at the die cavity.
- The air probe is fed through the die journal.
- Often for smaller diameter tooling.
