Roush Yates Engines utilizes a wide array of Starrett metrology equipment, from hand gages and micrometers to Vision machines (AV450, HDV 400, AVR 300), the company said, as well as force and material testers.
“Starrett has been a partner like no other,” commented Doug Yates, president and CEO of Roush Yates Engines. “We rely on their accuracy in both of our facilities.
