Selected
reject station
I found 'extraction point' in Leo, and 'discharge' for 'Ausschleußen'; but from the scant context you give, I assume the machine is testing a product and then 'selecting' the good ones and 'rejecting' the bad - discharge wouldn't really fit here.

: Or maybe "acceptance or chuck-out point" ;-). Off topic - in the avatar, is that you blowing into the long brass tube? If so, I`ll be making contact with you, if you are into Big-Bands!

Comment: "I contacted the customer and the "Aussschleusstation" is indeed just for the non-okay parts, so this answer seems the most appropriate one! Thank you!"

: That's essentially what I said above, but 'discharge' doesn't indicate that they are defective. / You're right the entry doesn't say it explicitly, but see my comment above.

When I started researching, your entry hadn't been posted yet ;-) Regarding defective items: My posting says *e.g.*, and the German text gives no information about the nature of the removed/diverted/discharged/rejected parts.

Good point: Steffen's word of caution (in the discussion section) should be observed.
