Turned parts for switchgear include copper contacts, studs, terminals and spacers. PRV turns electrical grade copper and aluminium as well as steels and insulating materials. 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 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.
Medium and high voltage switchgear manufacturers and electrical maintenance contractors need parts that conduct properly, fit first time and turn up when promised. PRV understands low, medium, high and extra high voltage plant, and can supply replacement parts to order at a cost the original manufacturers struggle to match.
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.
