Valve parts for the Christmas tree

A satisfied customer is one who comes back! For the second time at short notice, our customer placed an order with Provecta for the production of these complex valves to be installed hundreds of metres deep at the bottom of the ocean on the so-called ‘christmas tree’.

30 microns over 120mm

As the housing is full of critical seals for which the finish of the grooves must be flawless. These body’s are made in several setups on different machines. For this job, we use both the CNC controlled lathe and our CNC machining center to machine each feature as optimally as possible. 

After 4 setups, we measured a flatness of 30 microns (0.03 mm) over a distance of 120 mm, which is a result we can rightly be proud of.
