Internal depth Inspection

I have a part that is 32 inches long and has many changes in diameter along the way. Each diameter has an angle leading to the next. I am asked to come up with a way to measure these depths accurately (many times). The depth micrometers we have will not work.  We are looking at a high production run of these parts and need a reliable and fairly straight-forward way to measure these parts.  I do not want us to resort to cutting a part in half everytime we need to check one.  Any ideas?

"The depth micrometers we have will not work"

Because the mic won't accurately pick up the angled shoulder?  Could you machine a set of plugs that would stop at the shoulder and provide a landing for the end of the depth mic?
