nosta manufacturing processes
From simple cutting to mechanical engineering – everything from a single source
The numerous manufacturing processes used at nosta make it possible to realise a wide range of customer requirements. In combination with state-of-the-art machinery, assisted by robotics, sophisticated handling and tool management systems, it is possible to manufacture highly complex components. The portfolio is completed by the in-house mechanical engineering expertise and the resulting ability to adapt or design machinery from scratch. Use these skills to realise your parts and components according to your wishes and requirements – everything from a single source – cost-efficient, high-quality, on time.
FAQs about our manufacturing methods
We cover a wide range of processes: cutting (sawing, cut-off grinding, adiabatic HSIC), grinding (double surface grinding, flat/profile grinding, vibratory grinding), milling (5-axis, rotary transfer, robot-assisted), turning, and laser cutting with powerful CO₂ lasers.
One of our specialties is nosta mechanical engineering – we design and build custom systems for large-scale customer projects and for our measuring machines.
Machines developed in-house with automation are also used for keyways, T-nuts, wings, and radius grinding on longitudinal edges. Furthermore, wherever possible, we manufacture from profile material that best reflects the contour.
The results are competitive prices, resource-saving products, and optimal quality assurance.
For cutting, we use band saws, miter saws, circular saws, high-precision cut-off grinding, and adiabatic high-speed impact cutting (HSIC) – ideal for fast cycle times, minimal material loss, and burr-free production.
We offer double surface grinding, through-feed grinding, flat and profile grinding, as well as vibratory grinding/trowalizing – using High-Speed Grinding Nosta (HSGN) machines for extremely high throughput rates of up to 220 m/s circumferential speed.
The machine park consists of 5-axis simultaneous and 3/4-axis milling centers and rotary index milling machines with up to 22 spindles, some of which are CNC-controlled—combined with robot handling systems, CAD-CAM, and tool management for efficient complete machining.
