Vertical boring machines large diameter parts such as rings, wheels and housings. PRV runs Webster and Bennett 3ft and 4ft vertical borers, one with mechanical copy facility. Established in 1986, PRV Engineering operates from a 54,000 sq ft precision engineering facility in Pontypool, South Wales.
Alongside CNC, PRV keeps a strong conventional machine shop. Turning capacity runs up to 520mm diameter x 2m, 920mm diameter x 3m with a 2m taper facility, 1200mm diameter x 350mm and 200mm diameter x 3500mm. Milling goes up to X 1750mm x Y 1000mm x Z 750mm. Universal grinding covers 300mm diameter x 900mm external and 250mm x 350mm internal, with surface grinding to 900mm x 400mm x 400mm. Webster and Bennett 3ft and 4ft vertical borers, TOS and Forges de Gilly horizontal borers and an AGIE plunge spark erosion machine complete the line up, all with programmable digital readouts.
CNC isn't always the answer. For one-offs, repairs and very large parts, conventional machines and a skilled machinist are often quicker and cheaper than writing a programme. PRV keeps both, so each job goes down the most cost effective route.
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.
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.
