Plasma coating in a vacuum with a KUKA robot - Обзор Kuka

The thermal spraying process provides protection against oxidation without subjecting the base material to any structural changes. Material in the form of powder or wire is fed into a plasma or fuel gas flame which serves as the energy source. In order to prevent oxidation of coatings, the material is sprayed on in a vacuum chamber. The fields of use for this process include the coating of aircraft turbine blades, construction of stationary gas turbines, for coating medical implants, and to coat components in the construction of chemical apparatus.
