L&W Autoline Sample Loading System automatically feeds paper samples into L&W Autoline Profiler. This makes fully automated paper testing a reality, as the operator only needs to put the paper samples in the cassette. The sample loader can take up to 12 cassettes, which can be loaded with new sheets and profile strips at any time, even when L&W Autoline Profiler is testing a different sample. The width range of the strips is 295–307 mm and the minimum length is 400 mm. The Autoline Paper Holder, a specially designed sample carrier allows for testing of A4 and letter-sized (8½” × 11”) sample sheets.

Based on bar codes

L&W Autoline Sample Loader is supplied with a bar-code printer and bar-code reader. The printer produces labels for sample identification. The bar-code reader identifies the samples to be measured and sends this information to L&W Autoline. The bar code does not just identify the sample to L&W Autoline. It also contains information to specify the exact test programs to be performed, including module choice and testing frequency.

L&W Autoline Sample Loader in combination with an L&W Autoline Bending Resistance module is not recommended. There is a risk that the bending resistance will be affected if the sample is rolled to too small a radius.
