Machining
At Brilex, precision machining is a cornerstone of what we do. Whether it be complex one-offs or high quantity runs, we combine best in class machinery with a skilled team of dedicated employees to meet our customers' challenging requirements.
Backed by a full-time programming and tooling staff, we plan for accuracy, repeatability and compliance to our clients’ needs before the job even meets the machine.
Our in-house capabilities include manual and CNC milling, drilling, boring, and turning across 25+ work centers, with a cross-trained workforce to operate various machines, giving us flexibility when challenging components take multiple processes. Additionally, our inspection teammates, using top-of-the-line equipment, work with the machining group to verify parts in process, upon completion, or both if your project demands it.
All of this is backed by our detailed project management and quality control processes to ensure projects stay on schedule and according to budget.
Our equipment at a glance:
Horizontal Boring Mills
4 HBMs ranging from 4’ in travel up to 430″ X-axis travel x 157″ Y-axis travel, all with special angled attachments for those hard-to-reach features.
