The laminated peelable shim is the Jicey's flagship product. Very few companies in the world have mastered this technology, but it is the quality of our components which makes all the difference.
Jicey is now able to look back on 60 years of continuous innovation in the development of custom peelable shims for industry. Jicey has become the reference in this field, developing a compact-profile laminated material made up by stacking of elementary sheets interconnected by professional adhesive over the whole of their surface. Accordingly, the elementary sheets are very easily removed one by one using a cutting tooling, until the desired dimension is arrived at. This process obviates the need for machining and grinding of solid shims whilst providing comparable or even better precision. And it is an equally advantageous replacement for stacks of foils, and thus makes it possible to avoid inaccuracy. By comparison with conventional shimming, the time-saving achieved can exceed 50% or even more if conventional shims would have had to be rectified. Today, peelable precision shims are used with great success in all industrial fields (aeronautics, public projects, mechanical-engineering, railways, transport and tooling machines). Jicey manufactures more than 3 million shims each year for more than 5000 clients around the world.
