Stainless Steel Shims
Our precision laser cutting technology allows us to produce metal shims with tight tolerances and repeatability, ensuring that each shim is precise and accurate. We can manufacture bespoke steel shims from coil or sheet in a variety of shapes and sizes, including custom designs to fit the specific needs of our clients.
Key features include:
- Highly efficient process
- Components up to 690mm²
- All common grades and tempers of stainless steel between 0.05mm and 0.50mm
- Highly accurate and repeatable
- 3D features
- Fast turnaround
Laser Cut Shims To Customers Drawings
We specialise in prototype laser cutting to bespoke shapes and sizes to drawings, as well as strips of shim. Our precision manufacturing process uses high quality materials and production methods to produce superior performance packers, shims, gaskets, washers and spacers to customer specification. Using the latest equipment our precision technicians produce stainless-steel shims from 0.05mm to 0.5mm thick. We can also micro laser cut other alloys such as Aluminium, Alloy 42, Nickel coated steel and Copper to suit your requirements.
Our production facilities in the UK and US provide precise, efficient manufacturing and fabrication of your finished part, ensuring consistency with every order.
Prototype Steel Shims
Gaps can often occur between different components in the manufacturing process. When components are able to move around they can cause friction damage to your product or device. Steel shims are thin pieces of material commonly used to fill gaps between objects to remove excess play or to make a surface level. Shim washers can improve alignment between components without having to make alterations to your mechanical device – offering a cost effective and non invasive solution.
We can create bespoke steel shims for many applications including:
- Precision adjustments and alignments in machinery
- Tool and die set up
- Machine repair
- Machine maintenance
- Prototype work
