Diatest IMP In Process Measurement
Diatest in process bore gage measurement. The high flexibility of the machining center must not be lost due to the measuring
technology! The flexible DIATEST IPM measuring system (in-process measuring system) exploits the full capability of such a machining center.
What does the DIATEST IPM do?
The IPM measures high-precision, critical and safety-relevant bores directly in the manufacturing process within the machining center. It transmits measured values by radio to a PC.
What is the DIATEST IPM?
The IPM is a measuring system with radio for use in machining centers. The system consists of a DIATEST bore gauge (BMD) and a radio module, which are permanently installed in a tool holder (e.g. HSK). The bore gauge fulfils all requirements for the high accuracies demanded in modern machining
centers:
■ Ideally suited for automatic measurement.
■ Static and dynamic measurements, e.g. max, min, …
■ Optionally with collision protection and blowing air cone for cleaning
■ Regular calibration by a setting master integrated in the machining center
The central unit is a precision measuring probe with a radio module for sending the measured value to
a measuring computer with radio receiver.
Depending on the application, various options and holders for tool magazines are available:
■ With floating holder to compensate for positioning errors.
■ With overrun protection, optimized with electronic signal to stop the machine and with immersion free blowing
The IPM sits in the tool magazine Easy integration with standardized tool holder:
The IPM is exchanged for measuring and then automatically stowed back in the machine’s tool
magazine. The workpiece does not have to be unclamped. In general, the integration is independent of the machine manufacturer.
“Set up and move on”: once set up, the IPM works autonomously
The management and control of the measuring device is carried out by the production machine itself.
Feedback messages are shown on the machine display. Quality data can be stored in the local
