ARTICULATED METAL TUBE

The articulated metal tube system from Grindaix GmbH was specially developed for lubricoolant
supply in grinding machines. Thanks to its special structure, the gFlex articulated metal tube has
optimum flow properties and maximum flexibility. In this way, the pipe friction resistance in the gFlex
is kept to a minimum.

Depending on the length, the articulated metal tube has position stability up to an operating pres-
sure of 50 bar. In spite of the low bending radius of r=60 mm, the articulated metal tube has an in-
ternal cross-section of up to 12.4 mm and thus ensures maximum volume flow at minimum pressure
loss. The special design of the articulated metal tube makes assembly simple, as the basic elements
have already been mechanically pre-tensioned, thereby rendering alignment in the grinding machine
considerably easier. The gFlex components may be combined with each other in a highly variable
way. The gFlex product range encompasses a multitude of adapters as an interface for your grinding
machine. Besides this, the articulated metal tube system is compatible with all Grindaix nozzles, so
that by combining our nozzles and supply solutions we can achieve an optimum supply situation for
your machining task.

All products supplied by Grindaix are compatible with Industry 4.0 applications. Thus,
the gFlex articulated metal tube is likewise available with a pressure sensor connection and charac-
teristic curves for all tube system lengths. In this way, you have the opportunity to use the gFlex
articulated metal tube with lubricoolant measuring and control systems such as the Coolant Display.
With the aid of gFlex characteristic curves, you can correctly set the supply of the Grindaix nozzle
based on the volume flow required for your process.

All this renders gFlex an optimum articulated metal tube system for supplying lubricoolant to all
machine tools in the area of grinding and beyond. We would be happy to generate an individual
quotation for your machining facility.
