Exceptional performance vs. 3M™ Cubitron™ 2 products:
Significantly raising the benchmark for cut rate and product life in heavy grinding and cutting applications.
3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Performance Abrasives elevate product life, cut rate, and wear consistency. This enhances processes that are already automated or increases the appeal of automating current manual ones.
- Fibre Discs - up to 60% faster sustained cut rate1
- Cut-off Wheels - 3x longer life2
- Depressed Center Grinding Wheels - 50% longer life3
- Belt - Up to 40% more material removed4
1The sustained cut rate claim is determined from averaging the cut/cycle from cycles 7-20 (which is 14 minutes of grinding).
2Results are based on an automated, cutting of a 3 mm thick 304 stainless steel sheet. Cut-off wheel geometry was 125 mm x 1.6 mm x 22 mm mounted on a 1.5 hp angle grinder with an applied force of 9 lbs. Cut speed was defined by time needed to cut 1 meter of stainless steel. The life was defined as the total length of cut when the wheel reached 50% of its initial mass.
3Results are based on an automated bevelling of 1018 carbon steel bars. Grinding wheel geometry was 115mm outer diameter mounted on a servo motor with an applied force of 12 lbs. Cut speed was defined by metal removed after 10 minutes of testing. The life was defined as the total metal removed when the wheel reached 50% of its initial mass.
4Results based on an automated, 10-minute grinding test on 304 stainless steel using 36" long belts. The total material removed in grams at 40 cycles.
