(Pinpoint: Peabody, MA) -- Pinpoint Laser Systems is introducing a precision adjustable shim called the Microshim. This innovation is ideal for production plants, machine shops, utilities, and other industrial facilities where machinery must be precisely adjusted or leveled. Typical applications include positioning large machinery, leveling grinding equipment, adjusting roll assemblies, and leveling extruders and injection molding equipment. This simple, compact device is easy to use, highly versatile, and affordable for large and small plants alike.

No more trial-and-error lifting machinery to slip in shims and wedges, or trips to the machine shop to make spacer blocks. With the Microshim, the user adjusts a stainless-steel lifting bolt to raise or lower the machine. Height adjustments of 0.001 in. are possible, and each Microshim will lift and support 10,000 lb. Applying adhesive to the two sliding surfaces allows for adjustment before the Microshim is permanently locked to a specific height.
