Adjustable shim lifts, supports 10,000 lbs

October 7, 2011

Pinpoint Laser Systems has introduced the Microshim, a precision, adjustable shim for machine adjustment and leveling in production plants, machine shops, utilities, and other industrial facilities. Typical applications include positioning large machinery, leveling grinding equipment, adjusting roll assemblies, and leveling extruders and injection molding equipment.

With the compact device, the user adjusts a stainless steel lifting bolt to raise or lower the machine. Height adjustments of 0.001 in. are possible, and each shim can lift and support 10,000 lbs. Applying adhesive to the two sliding surfaces allows for adjustment before the shim is permanently locked to a specific height.

Each unit is milled from a solid block of aluminum and protected by a hard anodized coating. All lifting hardware is fabricated in stainless steel.
