The blank holding slide transfers the blank holding force via. The blank holder onto the blank & the draw die. The die & the ejector are located in the lower die on the press bed. During forming, the blank holder brings the sheet metal into contact against the die, the punch descends from above into the die & shapes the part while the sheet metal can flow without any wrinkling out of the blank holding area. In this case, the drawing process is carried out with a fixed blank holder & moving punch. In double action drawing operations, the drawing slide can only apply a pressing force.
