A typical thermal spray system consists of the following:
*Spray torch (or spray gun) – the core device performing the melting and acceleration of the particles to be deposited
*Feeder – for supplying the powder, wire or liquid to the torch through tubes.
*Media supply – gases or liquids for the generation of the flame or plasma jet, gases for carrying the powder, etc.
*Robot/Labour – for manipulating the torch or the substrates to be coated
*Power supply – often standalone for the torch
*Control console(s) – either integrated or individual for all of the above
