17 January, 2025The company Bost has closed the year 2024 with one of its most emblematic projects: the design and manufacture of the VTL 62 CY 6000 AERO Premium Vertical Lathe, a state-of-the-art machine destined for Airbus Defence & Space's Getafe plant. This breakthrough reinforces Bost's position as a major player in the aerospace sector and consolidates its participation in the Ariane 6 space launcher programme.
The new vertical lathe, developed specifically to meet the demands of the aerospace industry, combines precision, robustness and versatility. This equipment joins a series of advanced manufacturing solutions that Bost has supplied to both ArianeGroup and its key strategic suppliers in France, making a significant contribution to the production of critical components for the European Ariane 6 launcher.
A milestone in aerospace collaboration
The VTL 62 CY 6000 AERO Premium Vertical Turning Lathe represents Bost's commitment to technological innovation and support for high-impact projects such as the Ariane 6 programme, a key initiative for the development of European space capabilities. This programme, led by ArianeGroup, aims to consolidate Europe as a benchmark in the launch of commercial satellites and institutional space missions.
Bost's technical team has highlighted that this vertical lathe is the result of a joint effort in advanced engineering, specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of precision and reliability that characterise the manufacture of aerospace components. Its implementation at the Airbus Defence & Space plant in Getafe reinforces the European production infrastructure in the defence and space sector.
Contribution to the Ariane 6 programme
In addition to the VTL 62 CY 6000 AERO Premium Vertical Turning Lathe, Bost has supplied several additional machines for the manufacture of key components for the Ariane 6 programme. These solutions have been designed to optimise high-precision machining processes and to ensure quality standards that meet the stringent regulations of the aerospace industry. With this contribution, the company strengthens its relationship with strategic customers in Europe and reinforces its position as a trusted supplier in the field of advanced manufacturing.
The success of this project reflects Bost's accumulated experience in developing advanced manufacturing solutions for highly demanding industries such as aerospace. The company has demonstrated an outstanding ability to design tailor-made equipment, adapting to the specific needs of its customers and providing cutting-edge technology that boosts the competitiveness of European industry.
