On Line Controls, Inc.

Manufacturer of two product lines:

MICROAIR---The MicroAir line of ultra low air pressure regulator and controllers which controls air pressure to a set point during tubing extrusion. Our MicroAir units are used on extrusion lines making catheters, profiles, taper, bubble, multi-lumen, medical and automotive. It maintains air pressure for widely varying flow rates during variation in the process such as when a cut is made. The outside diameter and structure of the tubing is conrolled by the precision and accuracy of the air regulator. As medical tubing producers have continually decreased their OD, ID and wall dimensions, we have improved our design to provide more accurate and precise air pressure regulation. Ranges as low as 0-3" of water can easily regulate below 1" of water. Maximum range is 0-5 psi. Meters are available in "inches of water"; "psi", "mbar"; kpa, etc. All units are CE certified.

MOTORIZED POTENTIOMETER/RHEOSTAT--- line of products was purchased in 1999. A high precision proportional controls fro automating analog driven devices. Each model contains a slip clutch to protect the potentiometers end stops, prevents gear train breakage, and allows for manual adjustment when motor is off. Our motor pots combine pot, gear and motor in a small efficient package. Available with either AC or DC motors in .5, 1, 2 or 5 watts, and ohmages (100 ohms to 200K). We can replace old units built in the 1980 and 1990's or can help you design them into your new equipment. Also available are Motorized Rheostats for higher wattages.
