History
1980 - PresentCustomers
MicroAir and Motor PotsOn Line Controls, Inc. has been supplying precision air regulation for plastic tubing extruders for over 25 years. As the recognized leader in the field, our highly-reliable and accurate ultra low air pressure regulators and controllers have a life-expectancy of 10 - 20 years. Since 1984 On Line Controls—a privately-owned company-- has been a leading manufacturer of "MicroAir" air pressure regulators and controllers for manufacturers of plastic tubing. The UltraGage, a PC based OD/ID/Wall measurement and control system, manufactured from 1981 through 2007, is used by the plastic tubing, coated wire and pipe manufacturers. In 1999 the precision motorized potentiometer line was purchased and production started in early 2000 for these dependable high precision proportional controls for automating analog driven devices. On Line Controls manufactures in our Hudson facility, ultra low air pressure regulators and motorized potentiometers.
