Large diameter CNC turning covers discs, flanges, rings and housings that won't fit an ordinary lathe. PRV turns up to 600mm diameter on CNC and larger again on conventional plant. PRV Engineering has been trading from Pontypool, South Wales since 1986 and now runs a well equipped 54,000 sq ft facility.
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.
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.
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.
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.
