PEGAS Band Saw
The PEGAS Band Saw is used for cutting metal to the size required, Up to 300x320
It can also cut at an angle up to 30 degrees.
Axxair Beveller CC171
The amount of metal shavings caused during the creation of an orbital bevel is drastically reduced with this machine by only requiring a single rotation around the pipe. This machine has three applications which enable it to change from cutting to bevelling within two minutes, greatly improving production times.

P4 power source with MW closed chamber welding head & MU IV open welding head.
The closed chamber weld heads are specially designed for autogenous welding of tubes without filler wire. Different sizes are available and a wide range of diameters from 1.6 – 170mm.
JASIC MIG450
The Jasic MIG450 is a quality multi-process 3-phase welder that provides MIG, MMA and gas less self-shielded welding options. It has a high duty cycle and excellent reliability due to the signature Jasic IGBT technology used in their inverters. The Jasic MIG 450 provides a superb weld appearance and high welding efficiency. With our vastly experienced coded welders at PRS using the very best equipment you are guaranteed to get excellent results!
Murex Transtig AC/DC 353iS
State of the art DC and squarewave AC power sources for MMA or TIG welding, rated up to 350A. this is one of the best sets on the market. PRS currently have 3 of these sets.
BISON HSW60
This Machine is used to punch slots and holes into metal, as well as notch angle and flat bar, up to 15mm.
Used mainly to slot angle to attach u-bolts around pipe. This machine is so versatile. Designed for volume production with maximum efficiency. Punching, shearing, cropping and notching can be carried out instantly. Angle iron can be cut on every angle from 45áµ’ up to 90áµ’, both internal and external with standard tooling.
About CNC Machining
CNC Machining is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computers to control machine tools. Tools that can be controlled in this manner include lathes, mills, routers and grinders. The CNC in CNC Machining stands for Computer Numerical Control.
On the surface, it may look like a normal PC controls the machines, but the computer's unique software and control console are what really sets the system apart for use in CNC machining.
Under CNC Machining, machine tools function through numerical control. A computer program is customized for an object and the machines are programmed with CNC machining language (called G-code) that essentially controls all features like feed rate, coordination, location and speeds. With CNC machining, the computer can control exact positioning and velocity. CNC machining is used in manufacturing both metal and plastic parts.
First a CAD drawing is created (either 2D or 3D), and then a code is created that the CNC machine will understand. The program is loaded and finally an operator runs a test of the program to ensure there are no problems. This trial run is referred to as "cutting air" and it is an important step because any mistake with speed and tool position could result in a scraped part or a damaged machine.
There are many advantages to using CNC Machining. The process is more precise than manual machining, and can be repeated in exactly the same manner over and over again. Because of the precision possible with CNC Machining, this process can produce complex shapes that would be almost impossible to achieve with manual machining. CNC Machining is used in the production of many complex three-dimensional shapes. It is because of these qualities that CNC Machining is used in jobs that need a high level of precision or very repetitive tasks.
If you are considering a career in CNC Machining, it would be useful to have a background in mathematics, industrial arts and mechanical drafting, as well as computer usage.
