The VectorForm Lifter System offers unprecedented design flexibility: You can make injection molding undercuts that are twice as deep as previously possible, or you can cut your ejector stroke in half while maintaining existing undercut geometries.

VectorForm uses an ingenious slide base concept to greatly extend lifter angles. As a result, it can easily accommodate angles of 30° plus – instead of the typical maximum angle of 15°. Benefits include reduced design, installation time and maintenance – making it an ideal solution for applications including automotive and large enclosures.
