In any high-performance machining environment, efficient coolant delivery is critical—not just for temperature regulation, but also for chip evacuation, improved surface finish, and extended tool life. Enter Samtec’s Loc-Line Coolant Hose System—an innovative and adaptable solution engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern CNC, EDM, and industrial applications.
Unlike conventional metal tubing or rigid hoses that are prone to leaks, kinking, and limited adjustability, Samtec’s coolant hose system introduces a new level of control, precision, and reliability. Built with a unique ball-and-socket design, these hoses ensure smart coolant management across a wide range of machinery and processes.
What Makes Samtec’s Loc-Line Coolant Hoses Stand Out?
1. Fully Adjustable, Tool-Free Design
The defining feature of the Samtec Loc-Line system is its modular ball-and-socket structure, which allows for easy adjustment by hand—no tools required. Whether you need to bend, extend, shorten, or reposition the hose, you can do it instantly and precisely.
Unlike rigid metal tubes that require bending tools or clamps, the Loc-Line hose can be configured on the fly. This is especially valuable in setups where tool changes or different coolant directions are frequently needed.
2. Zero Spring-Back and Repositioning Issues
Traditional coolant lines often "spring back" to their original shape after positioning, requiring repeated adjustments. Samtec’s coolant hoses are designed to stay firmly in place, holding the exact position you set—even after repeated bending. This saves time and eliminates the frustration of constant readjustments during operations.
3. Withstands High Coolant Pressures
Built to perform in demanding conditions, Samtec Loc-Line hoses can handle high-pressure coolant flow without deviation. Whether you're using flood coolant or targeting small areas with precision streams, the hose maintains its direction and stability—ensuring consistent cooling and chip removal.
4. Leak-Proof and Kink-Free Operation
Copper tubing and other conventional materials are prone to leaks, fatigue, and kinks, especially when bent frequently. Samtec’s hoses solve this with a robust design that:
• Doesn’t kink or collapse under stress
• Maintains internal diameter even when bent
• Prevents coolant leakage during high-pressure operation
This ensures that coolant reaches the cutting area reliably, improving machining efficiency and part quality.
5. Premium-Grade Acetyl Copolymer Construction
Durability meets performance in the materials used. Samtec Loc-Line hoses are made from premium Acetyl Copolymer, a high-strength thermoplastic known for its:
• Chemical resistance
• Dimensional stability
• Wear resistance
• Long service life in harsh environments
This makes them ideal for use with water-based, synthetic, or oil-based coolants across all machine types.
Versatile Applications Across Industries
Samtec’s coolant hose system is highly versatile and compatible with all types of machinery, including:
• CNC Machines: For flood or directed coolant delivery at the cutting zone.
• EDM Machines: For precise positioning in electrical discharge machining.
• Manifolds & Workstations: For multiple hose setups or complex cooling needs.
From large-scale industrial plants to small machine shops, the Loc-Line system adapts to a variety of setups, reducing downtime and improving machine output.
Benefits That Add Up
Investing in Samtec’s Loc-Line Coolant Hose System means:
• Faster setups and changeovers
• Improved coolant direction control
• Reduced tool wear through better cooling
• Lower maintenance due to fewer leaks and hose failures
• Increased safety, as coolant stays where it's needed—off the machine floor
Upgrade to a Smarter Coolant Solution
Coolant management is no longer just about keeping temperatures down—it’s about optimizing the entire machining process. With Samtec’s Loc-Line Coolant Hose System, you gain unmatched flexibility, durability, and performance in one simple upgrade.
Whether you're machining metal parts, operating a high-precision EDM station, or setting up manifolds in a production environment, this system delivers consistent, clean, and controlled coolant flow right where you need it.
