In 3 steps to your individual shims sheets
Shims, or shims sheets / spacer sheets / shims, are used to compensate for tolerances that occur in manufacturing. In this way, components and products in fixture construction, on machines and in automobiles can be compensated for easily, cost-effectively and with high precision.

SHIMS BLANK, ABSTIMM PLATES AND EQUIPMENT BLANK FROM FINE SHEET
We manufacture shims sheets (also shims), shims plates, shims and shims plates (so-called spacers, or spacer plates) and other laser-cut parts from thin sheet metal precisely to your individual specifications.
As a manufacturer of fineblanked parts of all kinds, the processing of the finest sheet metal is part of our daily business. With over ten years of experience, we manufacture spacers, shims and shims for simple, fast and inexpensive tolerance compensation for our customers in the fixture and special machine construction industry.
By using shims to compensate for tolerances, the manufacturing effort of individual components can be reduced, effectively lowering manufacturing costs. As a specialist for laser fine machining, we produce particularly fine cutting parts with almost no degrees and and a high degree of flatness. Of course, we manufacture from the first sample and also up to series production. We will be happy to provide you with a first visual sample free of charge.
