Shims
This page provides details of typical shim requirements along with benefits of using chemical milling.
Collection of Shims/Spacers/Gaskets
Benefits of chemical milling :
Low cost tooling
Customised parts – you design it – we make it!
Various apertures, shapes and bar combinations
Variable bar heights
Burr free & Stress free manufacturing method
Prototypes made quickly
High volume capabilities
Various surface finishes available
Shims: Photofabrication has a wide experience in the manufacture of shims, customizing to your individual requirements. We offer prototypes through to full production runs on:
Individual Shims
Packs of shims in various thicknesses
Shims can be tabbed into a sheet to ease with installation
Laminated into adjustable stacks (see Laminations)
Shims are generally placed into an empty space to provide support and/ or balance, our process offers high precision parts, that have a burr free finish and has low cost tooling.
