Blade ejectors Progressive Components makes a variety of blade ejectors, which help eject a portion of a part from a mold. They’re offered in standard inch and metric DIN using one-piece construction for strength. Both inch and metric blades are available in a range of lengths, pin diameters and blade thicknesses, and with black nitriding.
What’s new? Optional features, announced in December, that reduce in-house machining. Referred to as “Mold-Ready,” the newest blade ejectors come finished with features that have traditionally been performed in the tool room. Such characteristics can include finished cut-to-length, flat machined on head, or serial engraving for blade identification.
Benefits More options for part ejection, and readiness for immediate use.
