Our laminate sheets are made by securely bonding together multiple layers of ultra-thin precision metal foil—typically 0.002″ or 0.003″ thick—into a single, solid-feeling sheet. Total thickness can range from 0.006″ up to your required specification, offering tailored solutions for a wide range of applications.
Each sheet is fabricated at a standard 48″ length, with widths ranging from 8″ to 24″, depending on the material used. A thin bonding agent (less than 0.0003″ thick) holds the layers tightly together, making the finished laminate appear and perform like solid metal—until you’re ready to peel it.
When adjustments are needed during assembly, laminations are simply peeled away—one at a time using a pen knife—right on the line. The process is quick, intuitive, and requires minimal training. Assemblers can easily remove just the right amount of material for a perfect fit.
No matter what your present method of joining critical parts, USING ONLY A PEN KNIFE, the SMART SHIM will:
