Progressive Components has expanded its offering of blade ejectors with new optional features to reduce in-house machining.
Referred to as “mold-ready,” this component arrives with features completed that have traditionally been performed in the tool room, with a configurable part number that eliminates the need for a print to be provided.
With Progressive’s configurable part numbers, ordering blade ejectors with radii is simplified: Start with the original part number (BE125-046L6.155) and add the radius size to the part number (BE125-046L6.155-K.094-R.020, as an example with a .020″ radius).
Additional mold-ready features that can be provided via configurable part numbers include finished cut-to-length, flat machined on head, or serial engraving for blade identification.
If sizing doesn’t enable the use of a standard part, the company has optimized providing custom, made-to-order blade ejectors per print, template, or CAD model: two radii (on same side) for blades on an insert’s edge, longer land for the radii (2 or 4) up to 2" (50mm), alternate materials or sizes (D/X/Y/L) outside of the standard blade ejector catalog range and black nitriding are all available.
