5 axis waterjet bevel cutting prepares weld edges and angled profiles in one pass. PRV's B axis tilt of +/-60 degrees handles bevels and countersinks. From its 54,000 sq ft site in Pontypool, South Wales, PRV Engineering has been machining, fabricating and finishing for UK industry since 1986.
Cutting is done on an Idroline S 1730 hydro-abrasive waterjet with an X axis of 3000mm, Y axis of 1700mm and Z stroke of 350mm. A B axis tilt of +/-60 degrees allows bevel and 5 axis cutting, and the R axis handles tubes from 42mm to 508mm diameter, up to 2570mm long and 400kg. Because it is a cold process there is no heat affected zone, no hardening and no distortion. Narrow kerf gives excellent material yield, and many parts need no secondary finishing at all.
Laser and plasma are quick on thin mild steel, but they bring heat. That means hardened edges, distortion and changed material properties. Waterjet avoids all of that, cuts almost any material and handles thick plate that laser can't touch. For armour, hardened steel, titanium, copper, composites and anything heat sensitive, waterjet is the right call.
Construction projects need fabricators who deliver on time, hold the right accreditations and can work safely on site. PRV supports main contractors and developers with certified steelwork and installation.
Whether you need a single prototype or thousands of repeat parts, the work is planned to suit. Mild steel, stainless, aluminium, copper, Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and titanium are all machined regularly, and a stocking service lets customers cut their own inventory and call off as needed.
Getting started is straightforward. Share your drawing or sample, tell the team your quantities and deadline, and PRV will come back with a quote and any suggestions to save cost. From there the work is managed in-house through to final inspection and delivery.
PRV calls its approach One Answer, Many Solutions. Machining, waterjet cutting, deep hole drilling, fabrication, painting, powder coating, plating, installation and maintenance all sit under one roof, so customers deal with one company and raise one purchase order. Quality is controlled to BS EN ISO 9001:2015, BS EN 1090 EXC3, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
