Nikon Metrology, Roush Yates Engines announce technology partnership

Nikon Metrology, a provider of metrology equipment in Brighton, Mich., and Roush Yates Engines, Mooresville, N.C., an engine builder for the motor sports industry, have announced a multiyear partnership program.

The capabilities of Nikon’s LC15Dx laser scanner and ESP3 technology “allow our team the ability to measure and analyze a larger array of parts, each with varying geometry and materials, with a single piece of equipment,” said Chad Johnson, Roush Yates Engines quality manager. "In addition, Nikon’s CMM Manager software, provided for all of Roush Yates Engines CMMs, will save considerably on programming time.”

The iNEXIV Vision System also was added to the Roush Yates Engines lineup of inspection equipment. This CNC video measuring system is suitable for both large and tall mechanical parts and uneven surfaces, in addition to providing a broad XYZ measurement range suitable for analyzing complex geometry engine components.
