Ejector Pins
The purpose of ejector pins
- In order to remove a part from the die, movable ejector pins may be used. This will result in a residual ejector pin mark on the part
- In addition to automatically pushing the part from the tool after part solidification, ejector pins keep the part from bending
The positioning of ejector pins
- Ejector pin marks on most parts may be raised or depressed by 0.3mm
- Larger parts may require additional pin tolerances for proper ejection
- Ejector pin marks are surrounded by a flash of metal. Necessary removal of this flash can be reduced by careful component design
Ejector pin flash
By consulting early with you on the design of your component, we can reduce ejector pin flash removal. This will make production more economical and cost-effective.
