about flex innovation comes from tradition everyone has heard of it many use it every day but very few people know that flexen a common german verb actually refers back to an invention developed by flex formerly known as ackermann schmitt but let`s start at the beginning in 1922 hermann ackermann and hermann schmitt started a company in stuttgart-bad cannstatt to produce and sell their new invention the ms 6 hand-held grinding machine featuring an electrical motor that drove a flex ible shaft this feature was the inspiration for this brand-new tool`s name flex and this is the origin of today`s brand name and a verb that has become an integral part of everyday german vocabulary ,flexen in the late 1920s the engineers succeed in replacing the flexible shaft with an angle gear set this was the world`s first angle grinder also sold under the brand name flex flex started becoming established as a new word in 1935 ackermann schmitt launched a low-speed angle grinder in 1954 it unveiled the first high-speed angle grinder the dl 9 by now flex was synonymous with angle grinder while the verb ,flexen completely replaced the less snappy verb ,trennschleifen abrasive cutting in colloquial german in 1996 ackermann schmitt renamed itself flex in 2006 ,flexen was officially added to the duden spelling dictionary the flex still uses the same basic approach but the tool itself continues to evolve and improve high-tech plastics replaced cast iron making the tools considerably lighter motor power has increased but motors have grown smaller and smaller the motor and gears have become better protected against grinding and cutting dust the tools have are now more durable quieter and more ergonomic the basic idea of the angle grinder proves to be so efficient and successful that it is incorporated into other machines and will continue to drive new innovations 4
