Measure Critical Features Without Removing the Component

DIATEST IPM enables automatic measurement of bores and tapers directly within CNC machining centres, allowing critical dimensions to be verified during the manufacturing process. By measuring parts while they remain clamped in the machine, manufacturers can reduce inspection time, identify process variation earlier and improve overall production efficiency.

Designed for integration with CNC milling and turning centres, the DIATEST IPM system combines high-precision bore and taper measurement with wireless data transmission, supporting real-time process control and consistent product quality.

The Future of Quality Control Starts Inside the Machine

Modern manufacturers are increasingly moving measurement closer to the production process. Rather than relying solely on post-process inspection, many organisations are implementing in-process measurement systems to verify critical dimensions while manufacturing is taking place.

This approach helps reduce scrap, improve process capability and identify issues before defective components are produced. As automation and Industry 4.0 initiatives continue to evolve, real-time measurement is becoming an increasingly important part of modern manufacturing strategies.

Key features

Automated bore measurement
Automated taper measurement
Static and dynamic measurement capability
Wireless data transmission
Reduced inspection time
Reduced scrap and rework
Improved process control
Compatible with a wide range of machining centres

Why Measure Inside the Machine?

Traditional inspection often requires components to be removed from the machine and transferred to a separate measuring station. This increases cycle times and delays the detection of tool wear or dimensional drift.

DIATEST IPM allows manufacturers to:

Measure bores directly within the machining process
Verify internal tapers automatically
Detect process variation earlier
Reduce scrap and rework
Minimise machine downtime
Improve process capability
Maintain consistent product quality

Automatic Measurement Without Interrupting Production

The DIATEST IPM system is stored within the machine tool magazine and automatically exchanged when required. Measurement data is transmitted wirelessly, enabling immediate analysis without affecting productivity.

The workpiece remains securely clamped throughout the measurement cycle, helping maintain accuracy while reducing handling and setup time.

This enables dimensional verification to become part of the manufacturing cycle itself, rather than a separate inspection process.

Typical Applications

DIATEST IPM is ideal for measuring:

Precision bores
Bearing seats
Hydraulic components
Engine components
Aerospace parts
Internal tapers
Safety-critical machined features

Why Manufacturers Are Adopting In-Process Measurement

Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to improve quality while reducing production costs. In-process measurement helps support these objectives by allowing dimensional verification to take place during production rather than after machining has been completed.

Benefits include:

Earlier detection of process drift
Reduced reliance on manual inspection
Improved machine utilisation
Faster quality feedback
Increased production consistency
Support for automated manufacturing initiatives
