Mold-Ready Vented Ejector Pins Available in both straight and shoulder styles, these mold components from Progressive Components come with standardized options, to help mold makers select the configuration that’s right for them. To handle everything from low- to high-viscosity molding materials, four vent configurations have been tailored. Each pin has a precisely ground ring vent and vent relief. As an option, pins can be cut to length, and keying, head engraving and chrome plating are available. Pin material options include stainless steel and black nitride.
What’s new? The portfolio of pins with standardized design and sizing options. Each pin is designed with a configurable part number, eliminating the need for custom prints or models.
Benefits Optimal performance across applications. Unlike other venting methods, such as porous mold steels and plugs, the new pins’ ring vent design is self-cleaning. Also, the pins require very little maintenance.
