Precision stainless steel shim is widely used to adjust the position of electrical motors and other equipment during laser alignment. By using a range of shim thicknesses to create a precise shim height, the motor alignment is able to be adjusted finely in accordance with the laser alignment system’s live move values. While the stainless […]
