Slitting Line Applications
Precision Slitting Shims are used in metal coil slitting applications for:
- Carbon Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Aluminum
- Copper
- Electrical Steel
- Other Metal Strip Materials
They are suitable for fine adjustment of slitting tooling, particularly where precise clearance and repeatable tooling setup are required.
Custom Shim Manufacturing
We manufacture replacement and custom Slitting Shims / Shim Rings according to:
- Drawings
- Samples
- Existing tooling
- Required dimensions
- Slitting line requirements
Custom OD, ID, thickness, material, hardness and surface finish are available.
Small-batch and repeat production are supported.
Related Slitting Line Tooling
In addition to Slitting Shims, we manufacture:
- Rotary Slitter Knives
- Slitting Line Spacers
- Bonded Rubber Stripper Rings
- Separator Discs
- Overarm Separators
Individual tooling components can be supplied according to existing slitting line specifications.
FAQ
What are Slitting Shims used for?
Slitting Shims are used for fine adjustment of knife clearance, tooling position and stack dimensions in metal slitting lines.
What is the difference between a Spacer and a Shim?
A Spacer is generally used to establish the required tooling spacing and stack dimensions, while a Shim provides fine adjustment where small dimensional changes are required.
What tolerance can you achieve?
Thickness tolerance can reach ±0.001 mm, with ultra-precision production down to ±0.0005 mm available for suitable specifications.
Can you manufacture custom Shim Rings?
Yes. We manufacture custom shim rings according to drawings, samples, existing tooling or machine requirements.
What materials are available?
We can manufacture shims from alloy tool steels and other specified materials according to the application and customer requirements.
Do you support small-batch production?
Yes. Custom and small-batch production are available according to product specifications and order requirements.
