Shot Blasting Techniques: Things You Should Know

When it comes to finishing and cleaning operations, the shot blasting surface treatment technique is a highly effective option. The shot blast technique uses high velocity steel abrasives in a controlled manner (at speeds ranging between 65 and 110 metres per second). This high speed controlled blast creates an abrasive impact which removes surface contaminates, thereby making it an effective method for cleaning iron, steel, forgings, machine parts, fixtures etc. However, before you commission a shot blasting service, there are a few important things you must know about this technique.

Finding the Right CNC Machining Service

From metal fabrication and metal removal to Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), CNC machining has revolutionised just about every aspect of manufacturing processes. The process of Computer Numerical Control or CNC machining involves shaping and fabricating complex three dimensional objects using machine tools controlled by a program running on a computer. The high degree of precision achieved through CNC has increased the demand of such machining services. However, with so many companies claiming to offer unmatched services, it can prove to be difficult to find the right one. In this article we will take a look at various tips to help you find the right CNC machining service.

Why Choose PRV Engineering for 5 Axis Machining

Around 20 years ago machining workshops were pondering over whether they should switch over to CNC (Computer Numeric Controlled) from manual mills. Those who didn’t jump on the CNC bandwagon were eventually left behind . Today, the scenario for 5 axis milling and machining technology is somewhat similar. Many industries today, particularly those where a high degree of precision is required such as medical devices, optical equipment, aircraft, transport, aerospace and satellites have already turned to 5 axis technology as a way of speeding up manufacturing ability as well as increasing repeatable accuracy. The ability to produce complex machine parts offered by 5 axis machining allows for reduced labor time and tooling costs which lead to higher precision as well as lower costs per part. In this article we will take a look at the various advantages and benefits associated with 5 axis machining and why PRV Engineering invests and continues to invest in this technology on behalf of our clients.

Busbars – What are they and why use PRV Engineering to manufacture them?

Busbars vary greatly and can be very complicated pieces of kit.  They can be made of aluminium or copper and are tubular, flat or solid in design.  There are different busbars to handle different levels of voltage, specifically extra high, high, medium and low voltage, plus there can be a multitude of other variations involved in their construction.

A great deal of busbars are manufactured to cover a multitude of disciplines and you’ll find quite a few engineering companies that are happy to create those.  Who isn’t interested in manufacturing a product with high volume demands?

But what if you need a custom one-off busbar for your electrical power distribution needs?  What then?

The Railway Industry – Why use PRV Engineering?

When we started PRV Engineering in 1986 we concentrated in three main areas: high voltage switchgear, rail product and the oil and gas industries.  Early on we realised many companies were using the term “one stop shop” to describe their services but failing to deliver on that statement.

We decided to change that by providing an all encompassing service that would offer as much as possible without losing control of the product in manufacture.

Here’s an example of how we put this into practice.

Our first step into the rail industry was when we were approached by Claverham who had developed a revolutionary set of electromechanical points.  Our remit was to examine the design and add value to the product by engineering out cost where possible in order to make it more accessible to the rail industry.

We achieved our customer’s goals with great effect and have now manufactured components consistently for the past few years for thier points systems which have been successfully installed at over 800 locations.

Since then we have added to our rail portfolio by manufacturing for track, track laying and maintenance equipment manufacturers, and more recently we have secured contracts for supplying electrical connections, contacts and other rolling stock product to Transport for London and the Underground Rail Network.  Add to this our involvement working on overhead line equipment with customers such as Hawker Siddeley Switchgear plus we enjoy a successful alliance with the Rail Network and many of their suppliers.

Watch Simon Jones MD of PRV Engineering Ltd talk about a railway project where the original project was highly complex, and whilst it was a lovely product it was just too expensive and didn’t fit into the market place because of its complexity. PRV helped commercialise it away from an aerospace style product at a cost of circa £35k down to roughly £3,500 and now that customer has become a long term ‘partner’ with a couple of hundred now out in track.

Contact us at PRV to talk about how we can be your ‘one stop shop’ for railway engineering solutions across the board.
