Complex geometry machining is where many subcontractors turn work away. PRV takes it on, using 5 axis plant and CAD/CAM post processing to make the difficult look easy. 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 runs a Mazak Integrex i400 mill/turn centre that machines parts up to 658mm diameter x 1585mm long with full 5 axis synchronous milling and turning. Alongside it sit Mazak VTC800/30SR vertical travelling column machines with full 5 axis synchronous milling and a large working envelope. The result is complex parts done in one hit, with fewer set ups, fewer handling errors and better feature to feature accuracy.
5 axis machining pays for itself on complex parts. Every extra set up on a 3 axis machine adds time, fixtures and a chance of error. Cutting the part in one clamping keeps features in true relation to each other and slashes lead time. If your part has angled holes, compound faces or sculpted surfaces, 5 axis is usually the smarter route.
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.
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.
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.
