Production possibilities
Milling
Proto parts are almost always made on a 3-axis or a 5-axis stand-alone milling machine. Serial parts production is done on robotised 5-axis machines. Our aim is to finish the parts as much as possible on the machine.

Turning
Series production of turning parts is carried out on a lathe with a rod loader. Series production of parts with a combination of turning and milling is done on robotic lathes with driven tools.
Wire EDM
For very precise turning and milling parts, we use wire EDM as an additional quality assurance method. We also wire EDM parts which cannot be made in any other way due to shape or precision requirements.

Assembly
With us, you can count on expertise and professionalism in carrying out assembly activities, where we carefully monitor the quality of the final product.
Quality assurance
Kusters & Bosch has a conditioned and well-equipped measuring room including 2 3D measuring machines. These machines are sized so that we can fully check all the parts we produce on these machines as well.
The quality department works closely with the craftsmen in the workshop and series production may only be started after clearance by the quality department.

Projects we contributed to
Since 2012, Kusters & Bosch has also been working for science. What once started small is now a real part of our turnover. The scientific institutes we work for are CERN, ESRF, ITER, NOVA and ESO (indirectly).
Extremely Large Telescope
We contributed to the largest telescope in the world: The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). In this project, Kusters & Bosch contributed to the components for the telescope's mirror. The ELT will be the largest optical/near-infrared telescope in the world, with a mirror 39 metres in diameter, which is about five times larger than the mirrors of today's largest telescopes.
The ELT is expected to be operational during 2024 and will make an important contribution to our understanding of the universe and our place in it.

CERN 11-Tesla Magnet
Kusters & Bosch supplied parts for the 11-Tesla Magnet used in CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
It is one of the most powerful superconducting magnets in the world and is used to accelerate and focus the LHC's particle beams.
The CERN 11-Tesla magnets played an important role in the discovery of the Higgs boson particle, one of the most important discoveries of modern particle physics.
