What are shim foils? A shim foil is a thin piece of metal used to fill the gap between two other working components. Often inside machinery and other mechanical devices, the gap between two different components can cause unwanted movement that can lead to friction and dislodgement. This can decrease the lifespan of the mechanism. By placing a shim foil in place of the gap, unnecessary movement will be reduced, creating a tighter and safer fitting alignment. Laser Cut Foil: High Quality Precision Laser cut foilTo create sharp and precise mechanical components, some of our shims are made from laser cut foil in order to cut the metals into complex and often intricate shapes and sizes. Our custom laser cutting service involves the use of highly powerful lasers that can cut through even the toughest of metals, including stainless steel. Laser cutting is perfect for customers who require our bespoke service, as the technique allows us to cut, shape and size our products, tailoring them to meet more specific requirements. Opting for laser cut foil can also be economical, as the process involves calculating the highest number of components that can be cut from the metal sheeting, ensuring little material wastage.
