Key Facts About Shims, Washers & Gaskets

1. Low set-up costs and fast lead times make chemical etching a go-to process in batch sizes of one to multiple millions.
2. The tooling for etching is digital, low-cost and can be modified quickly.
3. No heat or force is used when etching so mechanical properties remain unaltered and parts are free from stresses and burrs.
4. As component features are etched at the same time, part/feature complexity is not an issue.

The chemical etching process is adept at manufacturing a diverse range of metal components, including

1.Electronic Components: Such as connector contacts, lead frames, shielding, and various microelectronic parts requiring precise patterns and high conductivity.

2.Medical Devices: Components for surgical instruments, implantable devices, and diagnostic equipment, where intricate and biocompatible parts are essential.

3.Aerospace Parts: Critical components like heat exchangers, shims, and fuel cell plates, requiring lightweight materials and complex designs.

4.Automotive Parts: Precision parts like gaskets, meshes, sensors, and electrical contacts, where durability and accuracy are paramount.

5.Decorative and Functional Items: From jewelry and decorative elements to precise mechanical components used in various industries.

In summary, chemical etching stands as a versatile and precise manufacturing process that offers a multitude of benefits. Its ability to produce intricate designs, maintain material integrity, and facilitate cost-effective production makes it an ideal method for manufacturing high-precision metal components used across industries like electronics, aerospace, automotive, medical, and decorative arts.

Precision metal shims from 0.010mm-2.5mm thick supplied fast to your design.

We manufacture a wide variety of custom metal shims, spacers and thin washer shims which can be supplied flat or formed to your design specification.

Precision metal shims serve as spacers between mechanical components, effectively absorbing impact, minimising “play” or movement and safeguarding material surfaces in advanced high-tech applications. They are commonly produced from diverse metal types, such as stainless steel, aluminium, brass or copper.
