Simultaneous 5 axis milling moves all axes together to cut sculpted surfaces and blended forms. PRV uses Mazak VTC800/30SR machines with a large working envelope. Established in 1986, PRV Engineering operates from a 54,000 sq ft precision engineering facility in Pontypool, South Wales.
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.
Whether you need a single prototype or thousands of repeat parts, the work is planned to suit. Mild steel, stainless, aluminium, copper, Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and titanium are all machined regularly, and a stocking service lets customers cut their own inventory and call off as needed.
Getting started is straightforward. Share your drawing or sample, tell the team your quantities and deadline, and PRV will come back with a quote and any suggestions to save cost. From there the work is managed in-house through to final inspection and 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.
