Laminated Sheets Produced by Surface BondingCapabilities | Material Specifications Table (Click on thumbnail to enlarge) Laminated Sheets
Laminated material is produced by surface-bonding individual layers of 0.002 or 0.003 inch precision metal foil into sheets whose total thickness can range from 0.006 to whatever thickness is required. These materials are fabricated in 48 inch long sheets, in widths from 8 to 24 inches wide, depending on the material involved. The bonding material (0.0003-inch maximum) between the layers of metal is so secure that the shim looks and behaves like solid metal. In use, the laminations are simply peeled off with a knife blade, one at a time, right on the assembly line. With a minimum of experience, an assembler becomes adept at removing individual laminations as required.
Benefits: No matter what your present method of joining critical parts, USING ONLY A PEN KNIFE, the SMART SHIM will:
REPLACE the costly precision machining of mating parts
ELIMINATE on-the-job machining of a solid shim
ELIMINATE the usual fingertip manipulation of thin and easily damaged loose parts
PROVIDE flexibility for assembly line adjustments
And the SMART SHIM, with peel-able precision to +/- 0.001, is really affordable!  ISO and AS9100 Certified (PDF -786KB)
