Faster, more efficient, less stressful

3M-Musterseite

The introduction of the 3MTM CubitronTM 3 high-performance abrasives marks a major step forward in the manufacturing industry. The technology, a result of extensive research and development work, will dramatically change the way companies worldwide perform sanding processes.

In a time of change and increasing demands in the production landscape, the pursuit of top performance is crucial. The introduction of 3MTM CubitronTM 3 fiber, grinding and cut-off wheels and abrasive belts makes sanding processes faster, more efficient and safer. Through patented breakthroughs in abrasive grain shape and molecular bond technology, this new product line delivers exceptional levels of performance.

High performance for a long time

A significantly higher cutting speed allows companies to machine more parts with fewer resources, leading to increased productivity. For example, the cutting speed of the 3MTM CubitronTM 3 fiber disc 1182C is up to 61 percent higher than that of the previous product, the 3MTM CubitronTM II fiber disc 982C. And the disc also lasts longer than conventional competitive products: the 3MTM CubitronTM 3 fiber disc 1182C can remove up to 34 percent more material than a conventional fiber disc.

Less noise, less vibration

Reducing hand-arm vibration and noise contributes to employee well-being and supports employers in creating safer work environments. The 3MTM CubitronTM 3 cut-off wheels cause 33 percent less hand-arm vibration compared to competing products. And the 3MTM CubitronTM 3 fiber wheels generate approximately 70 percent less noise than comparable competing products.

Sustainable and environmentally friendly

The development of the 3MTM CubitronTM 3 high-performance abrasives also took place in view of increasing automation, helping to maximize the efficiency of automated production processes. The sustainable abrasives and eco-friendly packaging meet the industry's sustainability goals and help reduce the carbon footprint.

Adi Leviathan, president of the 3M Abrasive Systems Division, emphasizes the importance of this innovation: "The introduction of 3MTM CubitronTM 3 high-performance abrasives demonstrates how technology is transforming the manufacturing industry by meeting the demands of productivity, occupational safety and sustainability."
