Abstract
A method of coating a component includes attaching the component to a support that is configured to hold a plurality of components and placing a base of the support in a holder that is attached to rotatable member of a fixture, wherein an axis of the holder is parallel to an axis of rotation of the rotatable member. The method also includes transporting the fixture into a coating chamber wherein a direction of an exit stream of a coater in oriented perpendicularly to the axis of rotation, exposing the fixture and the component to a reverse transfer arc cleaning/pre-heating procedure, and exposing the fixture and the component to a coating procedure during which a coating is directed at the component in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation while the rotatable member is rotating. The method further includes transporting the fixture and removing the component from the support fixture.
