17 DELIVERING INNOVATIVE EXCELLENCE Investing in R&D, stimulating the generation of new ideas, and increasing the speed at which cutting-edge science is transformed into market-ready products, are key priorities for Norton Clipper. Norton’s Infiltrated High Density technology (i-HDTM) combined with its patented diamond blades laser-welding process is the biggest breakthrough in diamond tools this century. Through many years of research and development this revolutionary process delivers unrivalled performance, increased safety, lower energy manufacturing and a wide choice of segment design. Infiltration achieves high uniform density across each whole segment without applying high pressure. This allows Norton Clipper to manufacture extremely robust segments that wear evenly, remain intact and perform well at higher cutting speeds. The diamond grit is an integral part of the segment structure. During the patented process a special bond impregnates the core structure and binds the diamond grit into the segment. This ensures optimum use of the diamond grit, giving the diamond tools a long product life. i-HDTM TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS Form the segment core structure 1 Infiltrate the segment pores with unique bonding agent. 2 A composite material with enhanced properties for limitless segment design. RESULT Product innovations are clearly highlighted throughout this catalogue. Norton Clipper’s innovative approach is just one of the reasons for its position as the world’s leading manufacturer of abrasives; specialising in everything from light equipment to diamond tools for building and construction. Cutting edge innovation like the i-HDTM diamond blades are among the longest lasting and fastest blades in the market: our i-HDTM manufacturing process guarantees customers unrivalled performance and safe operation. Norton Clipper’s multi award winning Silencio blades are recognised as the quietest blade worldwide (up to 30x noise reduction compared with a standard blade) whilst maintaining premium cutting performance. The patented Norton Clipper ellipsoidal gullets also increase the safety aspect of the product by reducing the risk of cracking the steel centre. HIGH DENSITY DIAMOND BLADES
