BOST
Bost Machine Tools Company is recognised globally as a leading premium vertical turning lathe designer. With over five decades of experience designing and commissioning custom machines worldwide, Bost is a natural choice for any manufacturer looking for a way to boost their competitiveness.
Who are Bost?
Bost’s experience with CNC machine tools began over forty years ago, kickstarting a journey to become one of Europe’s most well-respected and well-known producers of large, precision machine tools.
Innovation lies at the heart of Bost. They’re constantly looking for ways to make their machines more productive and accurate for their customers. According to Karlos Aranbarri, Bost’s president and CEO, this philosophy is “precision with tradition.”
Bost serves industries that require heavy-duty, large machining centres for precision parts. Their machines are particularly prized in the aerospace, mining, energy, oil and gas, rail, and shipbuilding industries, where highly accurate components aren’t just a nice-to-have: they’re a necessity.
Innovative and precise large machines
The company’s commitment to research and development has led to groundbreaking advancements in vertical and horizontal machining technologies.
In 1994, they developed a revolutionary new turning and milling machine for large crankshafts; in 1998, they created the first wheelset reprofiling lathe; while in 2013, they released bespoke machining centres for landing gear.
Amongst Bost’s greatest innovations are their unique Hydrostatic guideways technology and their BOST RAM concept. The latter ensures infinite bearing life and improves MRR, surface quality, and accuracy for greater efficiency.
These examples illustrate Bost’s commitment to solving individual challenges for their customers—if you need a machine to perform a particular task incredibly well, Bost is the machine tool designer for you.
Get ahead on large-part machining
Large part manufacturers in the UK can work with Kingsbury and Bost to design a fully tailor-made VTL. Their modular design philosophy makes it easy machine for construction to be highly flexible. For example, these multi-tasking turning, milling, drilling, and grinding centres can be designed with a turning table ranging from 1000, mm up to 8,000 mm for larger workpieces.
