Our composite laminated shims can be manufactured with the following options
Nonplannar Laminated Shims
- Highly accurate folded, conic or curved laminated shims
- Perfect fit wihtout delamination
- No extra fittings/adjustments being required
- Gain in time / Financial benefit
Laminated Shim with Chip
- Security: all LAMÉCO shim data is encoded onto the chip buried within the laminated stack, avoiding any risk of paper loss
- Paperless documentation achieved! Part history in its entirety can be recorded on the chip
- Obviates the need for stamp-marking of parts
- Simplifies the inspection, acceptance and storage operations
Self-Adhesive Laminated Shim
- The shim stays in place on its own
- Indispensable when screws cannot be used
- Long term adhesion

(1) Physical limit of the test machine = no fracture.
(2) The Shim use is not affected by the possible disappearance of the resin, under the heat action.
