Creating surface solutions for a better world through customers' material transformation
Increased Comfort
- Norton Clipper floor saw machines reduce hand-arm vibrations by 40%
- Norton Clipper grinding cup improves comfort by reducing hand-arm vibrationincreasing exposure time by up to 7X
- LCG grinding discs with ceramic grain and reduced thickness (from 7mm to 3mm) for greater user comfort due to less resistance & less vibrations
- Cutting discs and grinding wheels for rail-track to improve the safety and comfort of high-speed train travel
- Fareclapolishing solutions reduce the number of sanding steps (no need for P3000) resulting in less physical energy required
- Norton Clipper cobalt free dry cutting laser welded blades minimize dust
- Collaboration with main OEMs to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) of EVs through Norton Xtrimiumplatform
Health & Safety
