Owlett-Jaton’s in-house inspection equipment is as impressive as it is comprehensive, ranging from handheld devices – including a wide range of ring, plug, and calliper gauges – through to much more advanced instruments. The high-end equipment includes a Nikon shadowgraph – an optical measuring device for inspecting angles and lengths – as well as a Keyence IM-7000 image dimension measuring system – a high-tech, computer software operated optimal imaging device, designed to measure angles, lengths, thread pitch measurements and ‘true roundness’.

All of the in-house equipment enables the inspection of parts to be executed to a high-level of accuracy.
