ESAB’s Arcair SLICE exothermic cutting system updated with ergonomic torch grip

Arcair®, an ESAB Welding & Cutting Products brand, has upgraded its SLICE® exothermic cutting system with a more ergonomic torch grip and oxygen flow lever, as well as a better connection between the grip and the rubber shield that protects the operator’s hand from molten spray when piercing.

The new striker assembly incorporates a slide mechanism that enables the operator to expose the copper ignition bar in small increments, shielding the fresh portion. The company has improved the battery ignition source for faster recharging of a dead battery and incorporated an over-charging safeguard and better visual indication of the battery condition.
