text: 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
