The original modular hose
From the characteristic orange-blue color, constructed with a special acetyl polymer chemically resistant to petroleum, coolants, and most common chemicals, the Loc-Line can be mounted on all machine tools and used for the passage of water, oil, and air. The base of the system is an assemblable element capable of forming a flexible tube that offers unlimited positioning and perfect liquid flow.
Why choose LOC-LINE
- Positionable in any direction
- Absolutely airtight
- With no internal core that could interrupt the flow
The magic of Loc-Line
Since 1983, the Loc-Line system has been the answer to a specific problem in machine tools: how to get coolant to the tool when it comes into contact with the material. The design is simple and elegant. The base of the system is an assemblable element that forms a flexible tube offering unlimited positioning and perfect liquid passage. Effortless and mouldable by hand, it stays in place and can be positioned according to any processing requirement. Bends do not change the inner diameter and Loc-Line does not twist like a copper tube. Unlike metal tubes, Loc-Line does not damage the tool in the event of contact and does not conduct electricity: it is ideal for EDM machines. Easily repositionable and extremely rigid, it is not affected by machine vibrations. A specific line has been created to resist the most aggressive acids. All Loc-Line elements are marked.
