Hybrid laser surface processing and spray coating system

A system for treating a component, the system comprising:

• a treatment arm having a laser applicator, a coating applicator, and a sensor array;
• and
• a controller in operable communication with each of the laser applicator, the coating applicator, and the sensor array,
• wherein the controller is configured to control the laser applicator and the coating applicator to perform a treatment operation of a surface of the component in response to information obtained from the sensor array, wherein the treatment operation comprises:
• scanning a surface to be treated of the component using the sensor array;
• cleaning the surface to be treated using the laser applicator;
• applying a new coating to the surface to be treated using the coating applicator;
• monitoring the cleaning and applying operations using the sensor array during the cleaning of the surface and applying the new coating;
• and
• performing an active feedback control using the controller based on the monitoring during the cleaning of the surface and applying the new coating, wherein the active feedback utilizing physics-based models to control the laser applicator and the coating applicator.
