Large format CNC machining covers big plates, frames and structures that most shops can't fit on a table. PRV has dedicated large capacity machining centres for exactly this work. From its 54,000 sq ft site in Pontypool, South Wales, PRV Engineering has been machining, fabricating and finishing for UK industry since 1986.
Large work is handled on two dedicated machines. The Takumi H22S high speed machining centre offers X 2200mm, Y 1650mm and Z 800mm for aluminium plates and structures. The Kao-Ming KMC-3000SVH 5 face machining centre, with high torque for steel, offers X 3230mm, Y 1950mm and Z 775mm. Five face access means big parts are machined on most sides in a single clamping, keeping datums true across the whole component.
Big parts bring big headaches if the machine is too small. Multiple set ups, re-fixturing and part flipping all add error and cost. Large format machines take the whole part in one go, keep datums true and cut lead times. Ask any supplier for their actual table size and travels before you place large work, because not every shop that says large means it.
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.
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.
