CNC machining for power generation covers shafts, couplings, housings and electrical components for generation and distribution plant. PRV has the capacity for big parts and the precision for small ones. 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.
Power generation plant uses big, heavy, high value parts where accuracy and reliability are everything. PRV has the large capacity machining, deep hole drilling and electrical component capability to support generation and distribution customers.
Batch size is not a problem. One-offs, pre-production runs and high volume schedules all go through the same controlled process. Materials cover the full spread from mild steel to titanium and nickel alloys, and Kanban, VMI, consignment and JIT supply can be set up for repeat lines.
PRV keeps things simple for buyers. One quote covers every process, one purchase order covers the whole job, and one team is accountable for the result. Material certificates, inspection reports and conformity paperwork are supplied as required.
Being a true one stop shop is the big advantage. A part can be cut, machined, welded, plated and painted without ever leaving the site, which cuts lead times, removes supplier handovers and keeps quality in one pair of hands. Accreditations include BS EN ISO 9001:2015, BS EN 1090 EXC3, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, Constructionline and Acclaim SSIP.
