What Is Shimming — And Why It’s a Problem?

‍

In traditional production systems, especially those using hydraulic presses, shimming is the manual process of adding or removing thin metal plates to align the pressing surfaces. It’s time-consuming, inconsistent, and opens the door to human error. Even the slightest misalignment can lead to wasted product, uneven cooking, and long downtime. For operators, it’s a daily hassle. For businesses, it’s a costly inefficiency.

The FGS Way: Zero Shimming, Full Precision

FGS has eliminated this outdated practice by introducing a servo-electric press that requires zero shimming. Using smart technology and engineered control systems, the FGS line keeps every press perfectly aligned — automatically.

Real Impact. Quietly Delivered.

No shimming isn’t flashy — but it makes a massive difference. It’s the kind of innovation that feels invisible until you compare the results: faster production, fewer rejects, happier operators, and more efficient lines.

While others still rely on outdated mechanical tweaks, FGS moves silently ahead, with precision built into every press.
