Multiplexer Technology Tames the Beast

250 inputs + 1 multiplexer = useful outputs

(HEIDENHAIN: Schaumburg, IL) -- Industrial applications that create many parts require fast and efficient quality checking stations. This means that maintaining accurate and correct measuring processes during the highest level of throughput is critical. The best way to achieve this is with the use of a series of gauging fixtures that are capable of measuring parts with a high level of repeatability and reproducibility. To capture all the data from these stations, you would need a separate digital readout for each fixture, or you can use a multiplexer and a PC.

Multiplexers allow users to take multiple inputs and supply the total output using just one output. It also requires some sort of selection input to associate inputs with the outputs. The data then needs to be put through a de-multiplexer to separate each output. This allows for more data to be sent at high speeds with less hardware, and it’s accomplished by using digital logic theory and integrated circuit chips.
