| Automatic ejection may employ either an
air-pressure or a mechanical apparatus to remove the completed part from a press. It may
be interlocked with operating controls to prevent operation until part ejection is
complete. This method requires additional safeguards for full protection of the operator.
As seen here, the pan shuttle mechanism moves under the finished part as the slide moves
toward the "up" position. The shuttle then catches the part stripped from the
slide by the knockout pins and deflects it into a chute. When the ram moves down toward
the next blank, the pan shuttle moves away from the die area.
