Roush Yates Engines and Nikon Metrology have announced a multi-year partnership program. Nikon provides precision equipment and metrology solutions to the manufacturing, aerospace, automotive and medical fields.

"We are proud to have Nikon as our new partner," said Doug Yates, President and CEO, Roush Yates Engines. "The Nikon brand is one built on innovation and quality. Their premium CMM equipment is world-class and a perfect fit for Roush Yates Engines."

"We are very excited to be partnering with one of the most respected engine builders in the motor sports industry," added Andy Stults, Marketing and Communications Manager at Nikon Metrology. "Roush Yates Engines provides the highest performance and most reliable engines for teams at the racetrack, as its winning record proves. The parts in their engines require the utmost precision and quality in order to meet performance demands."

Nikon's LC15Dx laser scanner provides a 3-D visualization of dimensional quality using Color Mapping. In addition, Nikon's ESP3 technology offers accuracy, speed and data quality by adapting the laser settings in real-time, improving efficiency and part quality data accuracy. "These advanced capabilities 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," Johnson added.

The iNEXIV Vision System was also 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 broader XYZ measurement range, which is ideal for analyzing complex geometry engine components.
