Peel appeal
Ford Components is one of the few companies able to offer peelable shims
With a focus on continued growth, Ford Component Manufacturing not only offers a precision machining and presswork service, it is also one of the few companies in the world offering bespoke peelable shims.
The ability to peel individual layers to achieve a component of variable thickness provides manufacturers with a time and process advantage when assembling components, where a variation in tolerances exists. Laminate material also provides cost benefits by reducing the need for multiple solid shim and stocks.
Laminate material is available in stainless steel, aluminium and brass and is produced as standard sheet or can be converted using customer specifications to components.
Easipeel is also available as a hybrid sheet or solid material with layered foils of a chosen thickness from 0.025mm to 0.1mm and the standard sheet size is 1220mm x 610mm.
