Twin port Twist-Loc Manifold. Quick connects to Cool-Grind Twist-Loc Coupling.
Part Numbers:
- 3/8 Inch Twin Port Manifold: CG-TWIST-MAN-TWIN-38
- 3/8 Inch Single Port Manifold: CG-TWIST-MAN-SINGLE-38
Twist-Loc single- and dual-port manifolds incorporate a ½” knurled knob that is used to stop the sub-manifold rotating after the nozzles are aligned, due to the coolant jet reaction force. Only a small torque is needed on the knob to lock the sub-manifold, even wearing rubber gloves.
Twist-Loc is a highly adjustable, easily lock-able, and extremely re-configurable sub-manifold system, ideally suited to cutting tool grinding machines where batch sizes can be small to medium, and setups frequent. Most cutting tool grinding machines have fully populated manifolds with either plastic modular hose, or copper pipe fitted to every port. It is both difficult and inconvenient to remove and plug coolant ports that are not needed for a setup, resulting in excessive total flowrate which gives low coolant pressure. Twist-Loc manifolds, with the appropriate nozzles fitted, can be installed and removed in seconds, as can blanking plugs to temporarily seal unneeded ports.
