Mill turn machining combines turning and 5 axis milling in one machine. PRV uses the Mazak Integrex i400 to finish complex turned and milled parts complete. 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.
PRV works from customer drawings, specifications or OEM samples. Mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and exotic alloys are all handled, in quantities from one to full production, with call off stock available to keep your shelves lean.
The process is simple. Send a drawing, CAD model, specification or sample. PRV reviews it, flags any manufacturing concerns and quotes promptly. Once ordered, the job is planned through the relevant departments, inspected against your requirements and dispatched with the paperwork you need.
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.
