System Overview
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
- Media supply - gases or liquids for the generation of the flame or plasma jet, gases for carrying the powder, etc.
- Robot - 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

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“I confidently predict the collapse of capitalism and the beginning of history. Something will go wrong in the machinery that converts money into money, the banking system will collapse totally, and we will be left having to barter to stay alive. Those who can dig in their garden will have a better chance than the rest. I’ll be all right; I’ve got a few veg.”
—Margaret Drabble (b. 1939)
