CNC machined aerospace components need tight tolerances, good surface finish and careful material control. PRV machines aluminium, titanium and nickel alloy parts for aerospace and ground support applications. Established in 1986, PRV Engineering operates from a 54,000 sq ft precision engineering facility in Pontypool, South Wales.
The CNC department runs 30 machining centres with a wide capacity range. Turning covers components from 6mm up to 600mm diameter and over 2500mm long, while milling handles work up to 3000mm x 850mm x 750mm with true 4th and 5th axis capability at 0.001 degree resolution. Renishaw probing, helical milling, auto pallet change and laser tool break detection keep spindles cutting and parts consistent. CAD/CAM links take IGS, STP, DXF, DGN and VDA files straight to programme, so complex components get from drawing to first-off without hanging about.
When choosing a CNC machining supplier, look past the hourly rate. Ask how many machines they run, what size envelope they can handle, how they inspect, and whether they can finish the part with plating, painting or assembly. A supplier with capacity and in-house finishing will usually beat a cheaper shop on total cost, lead time and hassle. PRV ticks every one of those boxes.
Aerospace parts need precision, complex geometry and material integrity. PRV machines titanium, aluminium and nickel alloys on multi-axis plant, and waterjet cuts heat sensitive materials without any heat affected zone.
Materials range from everyday mild steels through to stainless, aluminium, copper and exotics such as Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and titanium. PRV caters for one-offs, rapid prototypes and large batch production, and can hold stock for customers to call off in line with Kanban, VMI, consignment and JIT arrangements.
Every order follows a controlled route. Drawings are reviewed, materials are sourced with certification, work is planned across the shop floor and parts are inspected before dispatch. Customers get one contact who knows the job from quote to delivery.
Quality sits at the top of the agenda, with a zero tolerance policy on rejects. Work is completed under BS EN ISO 9001:2015 and BS EN 1090 EXC3, and PRV also holds ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. With every major process in-house, problems are caught early and fixed fast.
