A screw thread inspection system, comprising:
- a body comprising a first portion configured as a datum reference, and a second portion configured to support a dimension measurement system;
- the dimension measurement system operationally coupled to the second portion and comprising a measurement tip;
- the dimension measurement system configured to determine distance from the datum reference to the measurement tip along a first measurement axis;
- the dimension measurement system also configured so that the measurement tip can translate relative to the body along a second axis perpendicular to the first measurement axis.
