Send us your drawing.
Email a .dxf, .dwg or .igs file to sales@aloma.com with the material, thickness, quantity, part number and revision.
We run small or large quantities, and most flat parts need no tooling. We cut 304 and 410 stainless, low-carbon steel, 6061 aluminum and laminated brass.
What fits on each machine
Sizes and thicknesses, machine by machine.
Every job is programmed from your CAD data in our 132,000 sq. ft. shop in Verona, PA, so you can check here whether your part fits before you send it.
Laser cutting1
Six automated fiber and CO2 lasers cut intricate shapes from sheet up to 2 by 4 meters, positioned to within .002".
More about laser cutting- Sheet size
- 78.74" x 157.48"
- Mild steel
- up to 1.125"
- Stainless
- up to .625"
- Aluminum
- up to .250"
- Tube
- up to 16" diameter
Water jet cutting2
When the part is too thick for the laser or can’t take heat, water jet cuts metal, plastic, stone, glass, rubber and composites with no heat-affected zone.

- Thickness
- up to 4"
- Edge
- no heat-affected zone
Plasma and oxy-fuel on the Kinetic K50003
Heavy plate is cut, beveled, drilled and milled on one 11 by 40 foot table, so your part moves between fewer machines and setups.

CNC machining4
A Haas VF-4 with a pallet changer and a 5-axis universal mill machine all five sides of a part in no more than two setups.
More about CNC machining- Haas VF-4 travel
- 50" x 20" x 25"
- 5-axis mill travel
- 19.7" x 16.5" x 15"
- Spindle
- up to 18,000 rpm
Bending and welding5
Robotic CNC press brakes form the part, and our welders build anything from weld nuts to complex assemblies.
More about contract manufacturing- Press brake bed
- up to 14'
- Press brake force
- up to 245 tons
- Welding
- robotic and manual
Laser positioning is held within .002", and a FARO Quantum MAX scan arm can inspect finished parts directly against your CAD model.
Cut, bend, weld, machine, blast, inspect: one PO
Contract manufacturing at Aloma takes a part from flat blank to finished, inspected piece under one roof, with blanket releases for just-in-time delivery.

The thickness on the shim is the thickness you get.
Aloma pre-cut shims are made from 304 stainless, free of burrs, and marked to their exact thickness within .0005", in nine stocked sizes.
Etched with the exact thickness1
Shims .050" and thicker are permanently etched to the nearest thousandth, in inches and millimeters, so nobody on the job needs a micrometer. The marks won’t rub off.
Rolled to our own tolerance2
We buy only prime material rolled to Aloma’s tolerance, so a .050" shim is .050" ±.002". Gauge stock sold as 18 GA is .048" nominal and typically measures .046".
Slot, tab and stainless steel3
Slots are 1/16" oversize for bolt clearance, the Trailor Hitch tab makes packs easy to handle and tie for reuse, and 304 stainless resists corrosion.
In stock, shipped fast
In-stock orders received by 2:00 PM Eastern, Monday through Friday, ship the same or next business day.
Shipping and returnsPick the size that fits your bolt.
All nine sizes are drawn to the same scale, each with the largest bolt its slot clears.
