Jicey adjustment shims are found in all branches of industry

PRECISION SHIMMING

• Laminated peelable shimsA laminated peelable shim is made up of a stack of individual layers glued together over their complete surface area and forming a laminated block of compact appearance. The individual layers may be peeled off one at a time until the precise dimension required is obtained.

• Viewtek laminated peelable shimsThese are laminated peelable shims in composite materials using a process for marking the thickness of the individual layers on the middle section of the part. By transparency, the thickness of the layer that is being peeled off should make it much easier to use. That reduces assembly times.

• Bi-composed laminated peelable shimsBi-composition enables laminated peelable shims to be obtained that are made of layers of different thicknesses on each surface, marked by an exclusive colouring process. They enable the operator to carry out his adjustment by peeling off the thicker layers from one side and then peeling off a few thinner layers from the other.

• Separable shimsSeparable shims are made up of a stack of individual layers stuck together by points of glue on the edge alone. The right thickness is done very easily by removing the layers by hand. Separable shims are mainly used for assemblies in difficult exterior situations.

• Solid shimsSolid shims, whether ground or not, are used in all cases in which serious constraints apply (vibration, traction, shearing or extremes of temperature). They are of extremely high precision, strictly made to measure and for immediate use on site.

• Extra-thin shimsThese are solid shims that provide compensation of play that is often less than 1/10th of a millimetre. Whatever their shape, these parts are machined which guarantees a very high precision part without any burrs.

APPLICATIONS

Any mechanical assembly involves stresses, tolerances and clearances. The main function of the adjustment shim is to eliminate and compensate for them.

From the very unique shim to mass production, from made to measure to standards shims

From very large shims for offshore applications, to ultra-thin shims of a few millimetres for Aviation

Several hundred Jicey adjustment shims are essential for the operation of all main mechanical systems of civil and military aircrafts.

THE ADVANTAGES OF PEELABLE LAMINATED SHIMS

Savings in time and money can easily exceed 50% in relation to rectifying shims or machining special shims

Easy to cleave by hand for the composite materials or using a cutting tool for metal shims

Thickness of basic sheets: from 0.025 to 0.1mm

The sheets removed may be recovered to be used as single shims (composite)

High precision assembly, easy, instantaneous fit, no more down time in production

THE PEELABLE LAMINATED SHIM

Single composition Twin composition

With solid portion With solid portion

Steel Alu. Brass Stainless steel

Titanium Mylar CeramicTeflonKaptonfor anti-friction applications

Materials (metal, composite or mixed metal & polymer)

An adjustment shim made of a laminated material consisting of a pile of very thin individual sheets assembled by bonding.

It is very easy to peel off the basic sheets to obtain the precise required thickness.

This process avoids the machining and rectification of solid shims or piles of metal foil thus avoiding deformation.

THE VIEWTEK PROCESS

Immediate identification of the thickness of the sheet peeled off by transparency (the thickness of sheets is marked over the entire centre section of the shim)

A colour code is used for each available thickness (0.025 0.05 0.10 mm)

Cleaving by hand with no tools

Time saving and very easy to use

Possibility of a twin composition of the shim: sheets of 0.025 on one side and 0.10 mm on the other, for example

OUR TECHNOLOGY

application of adhesive or gluing Adhesive is applied continuously in layer of negligible thickness using a special process developed by the Jicey R&D department, to ensure perfect alignment of the finished parts.

High precision machining and cutting Jicey designs and manufactures its own cutting tools served by a wide range of mechanical or hydraulic presses, whether automatic or not, the power of which varies from between 10 to 200 tonnes.

Jicey also employs the most modern laser and water jet cutting techniques and the electro-erosion metal working process, within the framework of partnerships.

QUALITY CONTROL

The dimensional inspection Jicey inspects its parts on a 2D video measuring table (900 x 600 mm) with a precision to less than 0.01mm. These measurements are taken without contact, which allows us to measure non-rigid materials or basic sheets of laminated materials without deforming parts.

Traceability Jicey offers several forms of traceability with the issue of certificates of conformity, analysis of metals and the dimensional inspection of parts.Traceability is recorded systematically over a period of 2 months or 15 years as an option.

Delegation of inspection, approval of suppliers Jicey has obtained the approval and delegation of inspection from many prestigious industrial companies.

Quality at all stages of manufacturingJicey has developed strict quality assurance procedures.Our system, which is based on the reference standard ISO 9000 and is supplemented by the EN / AS 9100 requirements in the aviation field, is the guaranteed of your safety.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Customer satisfaction Jicey performs quality control on all its products and the rate of returns from customers measured over the last few years is well below 0.1%

Optimised shipping and fast delivery

THE CUSTOMER WEB SERVICE

A specific, protected customer interface to be able to monitor the status of your orders, shipments and all your customer information, at all times.

www.Jicey.com

A complete internet site with all the necessary information concerning the company and its products. It is possible to request estimates or additional information.

STATIC SEALING

Our solutionsAn essential component, on which the operation and safety of entire installations depend. The seal should be defined during the design stage of the product, taking all operating conditions into account.

That is why Jicey designed flat static seals using materials or combinations of materials that correspond exactly to your operating conditions and often extreme requirement criteria.

Choosing the right sealThis means selecting the right material (elastomer, cork, paper, asbestos-free, metalloplastics, metals) and the right thickness to ensure reliability which makes the difference.
