reject station
Explanation:
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.

Grading 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!

It all depends on the context.

neutral  Richard Stephen: 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.

Reference: Ausschleusstrecke

Reference information:
Langenscheidt Dictionary of Technology and Applied Sciences
has the following entry:

Ausschleusstrecke f <logist> (HRL) reject spur; reject line

Nothing for the queried term: "Ausschleusstation", but obviously a Ausschleusstation on a Ausschleusstrecke (reject line) should be called a "reject station"

Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)
neutral  Bernd Runge: But, same dictionary, "Ausschleussystem n (HRL) output system". Doesn't really sound like rejection, does it?
26 mins
  -> Good point: Steffen's word of caution (in the discussion section) should be observed.
