Drew Introduces New Plasma Cutting Systems Ashland Chemical Company's Drew Marine Division has intro- duced a new line of advanced plas- ma cutting systems, the AMER- ARC XL series. Plasma cutting equipment uti- lizes electrical power and clean, dry, compressed air ionized at high temperatures to conduct the elec- tric current to the workpiece. The combination of the electric arc and the extremely hot, high- velocity jet of compressed air removes a narrow strip, which is blown out by the gas stream. The result is a clean, high-speed cut with sharp edges, requiring mini- mal cleanup. The three models available in the new series from Drew Marine can reportedly cut any metal, including stainless steel, aluminum and other alloys that cannot be cut using conven- tional oxy-acetylene methods. Advanced technology gives the units compact size and portability, along with power, reliability and durability.
