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:
“Psychoanalysis is an attempt to examine a person’s self-justifications. Hence it can be undertaken only with the patient’s cooperation and can succeed only when the patient has something to gain by abandoning or modifying his system of self-justification.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
