Peelable shims are a perfect fit
Novel laminated peelable shims feature a marking concept that immediately shows the thickness of the peeled layer with no measuring device and no wasted time.
Bicomposed laminated peelable shims are highly technical composite adjustment shims made up of individual layers of different thicknesses on each side By constantly innovating, and to further facilitate the use of these smart shims, Jicey has developed a marking concept that immediately shows the thickness of the peeled layer with no measuring device and no wasted time

Peelable layers adjust shim thickness
Jicey Precision Shims has introduced the Alkomposit Viewtek, a laminated shim with peelable layers to adjust its thickness.
This patented concept consists in the marking of the elementary thickness directly on the centre of the shim, which is visible by transparency, thanks to the composite material, over the entire thickness of the shim.
This exclusive Viewtek process also uses a colour code for each of the available elementary thicknesses (0.025, 0.050 and 0.100mm).
The operator can thus begin to adjust the shim, to compensate for the play in any mechanical assembly, by peeling off the thickest films and can obtain the final dimension by removing one or two thinner layers on the other side as required.
The outstanding peelability of the Jicey's composite laminated shims makes it possible to separate them by hand, without the need for special tools, and to use the removed films as unit shims.
