L&W Autoline automated paper and board testing system

Faster tests. More information. Better results.


Introducing the newest, fastest and most reliable automated paper testing system—from the company that pioneered the solution.

Manually gathering and testing paper samples is a time consuming process that can produce inaccuracies. 

Reducing measurement uncertainty or test variability is at the heart of what automating paper testing systems can provide paper mills.

ABB’s next-generation L&W Autoline is the fastest and most reliable automated paper testing solution, delivering accurate and repeatable quality reports in minutes.  Mills can make more informed decisions and take quicker corrective action, allowing the paper or board maker to shift production targets, and achieve more consistent performance--and higher profits.

“Having an Autoline, we are able to run hundreds and thousands of data points at the same time. Benchtops couldn’t do that. And we get more detailed profiles of the sheet for the whole width of the paper.”
