Article: Design of a mechanical stripper advances production technology.(metalforming)

In metalforming and piercing applications, effectively stripping the workpiece is a key element for a successful operation. It's what makes the tools last longer and ensures there are no double hits or parts being stacked up in the die that can cause catastrophic damage.

Today, there are basically three different types of strippers that are used.
