A Single-Unit Undercut Relief System
A compact solution for molding undercuts and part features. This self-contained unit simplifies the process by using plate action to activate a hydraulic plunger, creating the desired part feature. With EZ SLIDER, there's no need for complex machining setups or multiple components. Just machine a pocket, drop in EZ SLIDER, and you're good to go. Our angled units offer flexibility, with standard increments up to 35° or custom angles available. Say goodbye to expensive hydraulic cylinders and additional components — EZ SLIDER streamlines your molding process.
“When we used the EZ Slider on that first tool, we found it to be very straightforward, very simple to install and use and it took up a lot less room in the tool."

How Does it Work?
The cutaway view reveals the internal mechanism of the EZ SLIDER. When compressed, the actuator is released, and the return spring retracts the spring rod, preparing the molded part for ejection.
EZ SLIDER angled units are available and come in standard 5° increments of deceleration up to 35°. Undercuts can be relieved where traditional slides or lifters cannot be utilized giving molders more design and manufacturing flexibility. Eliminating the need for costly mechanical or hydraulic cylinders, external limit switches, mounting plates. Eliminates the manufacture time and materials for additional components
