Bar fed CNC turning is the efficient way to produce repeat turned parts. PRV lathes take up to 70mm diameter bar with magazine feed and sub-spindle processing. From its 54,000 sq ft site in Pontypool, South Wales, PRV Engineering has been machining, fabricating and finishing for UK industry since 1986.
PRV turning capacity runs from 250mm diameter x 500mm long with simultaneous dual axis machining, through 350mm diameter lathes with 70mm bar feed, sub-spindle processing and Y and C axis live tooling, up to 600mm diameter x 2600mm long. Live tooling means flats, cross holes and milled features are done in the same set up. CAD/CAM programming gets even awkward profiles on the machine quickly, and every lathe is backed by in-house inspection.
Turned parts look simple, but concentricity, thread quality and surface finish make or break them. The right lathe for the job matters too. Bar fed machines suit repeat work, live tooling saves secondary operations, and big chucks handle large diameters. PRV has all three, so each job goes on the machine that gives the best result at the best price.
PRV serves a broad spread of industries including defence, medium to high voltage switchgear, rail, high performance automotive, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food processing, aerospace, actuation, power generation, mechanical handling and valves. Whatever the sector, the standard is the same.
PRV works from customer drawings, specifications or OEM samples. Mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and exotic alloys are all handled, in quantities from one to full production, with call off stock available to keep your shelves lean.
The process is simple. Send a drawing, CAD model, specification or sample. PRV reviews it, flags any manufacturing concerns and quotes promptly. Once ordered, the job is planned through the relevant departments, inspected against your requirements and dispatched with the paperwork you need.
One supplier, one order, one point of contact. That is the PRV promise. Every major process from cutting to final finish is done in Pontypool under ISO 9001:2015, with BS EN 1090 EXC3, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 alongside. A continuous improvement and design for manufacture mindset means customers often end up with a better part at a lower cost.
