Integrated fluidjet system for stripping, prepping and coating a part

An integrated fluidjet system for sequentially stripping, prepping and coating a surface of a part to be refurbished, the integrated system comprising:

• a cell having a Faraday cage defining an electrically shielded enclosure and having a door;
• a jig for holding the part inside the cell;
• a robotic arm movable within the cell;
• a nozzle mounted on the robotic arm;
• a coating particle source for supplying coating particles to the nozzle;
• a pressurized fluid source for supplying a pressurized fluid to the nozzle to enable the nozzle to generate a fluidjet with coating particles and pressurized fluid capable of sequentially stripping, prepping and coating the surface of the part;
• an electric field generator for generating an electric field inside the cell for charging the coating particles;
• and
• a human-machine interface external to the cell for receiving user commands and for controlling the robotic arm and fluidjet exiting from the nozzle in response to the user commands, wherein the human-machine interface is configured to deactivate the electric field generator for stripping and prepping the surface of the part and to activate the electric field generator for coating the surface of the part.
