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.

Abstract: Method for coating components by thermal spraying, wherein not the entire surface of the component is to be coated and wherein those parts of the surface that are not to be coated are covered by masking before coating and wherein the covering is made by a paste processes at least in the areas of critical mask boundaries, i.e. by way of a paste dispensed from at least one nozzle, wherein the paste is a curable paste and curing is photo induced and preferably made by way of UV radiation, characterized in that the masking utilizes a partial masking step and a complementary masking step, the complementary masking step being performed at least in the area of critical mask boundaries and the partial masking step being performed in an area spaced from the area of critical mask boundary and the method of partial masking is not a paste process.
