Abstract
A thermal spray cabin comprising a table to hold a part to be coated and a robot with a robot body and an arm, a spray gun mounted on the arm of the robot, a ventilation system comprising an air inlet and a suction hood designed to create a gas flow with a main stream from the air inlet to the suction hood thereby passing the table in an operating state of the thermal spray cabin. The air inlet, the table, the robot and the suction hood are arranged in such a way, that the robot body is positioned outside the main stream of the gas flow in the operating state.
