  • Patent number: 6622739
    Abstract: An oxide and coating removal system includes a mobile gantry or transport system supporting an end effector and high energy waterjet rotating nozzles judiciously located relative to the surface of the vehicle and includes positioning mechanism for locating the nozzle discretely relative to the vehicle. An environmentally safe system serves to re-claim the effluent by removing the contaminated particles and returning the re-claimed water to the pumping system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 2001
    Date of Patent: September 23, 2003
    Assignee: Advanced Systems Technologies, Inc.

  • Patent number: 6136379
    Abstract: A convergent spray gun which combines a liquid resin and dry metallic powder externally of the nozzle of the spray gun that utilizes a pair of diametrically opposing passages disposed at 0.degree. and 90.degree. relative to the central resin discharging orifice where the central orifice is approximately 0.015 inch and the air for atomizing the fluids is approximately 0.187 inch and the atomizing angle is approximately 180.degree.. The metallic filler is added to the plume of the convergent spray at the low pressure section and the ratio of the fluids are controlled by a computerized system. The spray gun, controls and mixing chambers of the resin (two part) and powder fillers are housed in separate rooms and the dust where the powder fillers are metered is controlled.
