Precut shims LAMI BLOC® positioning of machine sets During installation of rotating equipment, positioning accuracy down to only a few hundredths of a millimeter becomes crucial. Less stringent standards may lead to less than optimal support for the machine feet during operation, which can then lead to vibration breakdowns and enormous down- time expense. Prevention of such unpleasant surprises can be quite painless, since the cause is often very basic; for example, lack of shims of proper size and thickness during installation. Such preventive medicine can even pay for itself during machine alignment.

laminated shims Exactly 1 mm thick and easily peeled down to the required Available in eight different sizes to fit machine feet of nearly any Available in hard brass or in- stainless steel for utmost resis- tance to corrosion by acids and Laminated together in perfectly flat layers to avoid vibration and 'soft foot' when stacked to- gether - even when shimming several millimeters at a time! Sorted according to their four sizes in the handy LAMIBLOC® case, along with a practical peeling knife and a micrometer. Saves time and money, provid- ing a safe and practical alterna- tive to hand-cut shims....
