Claim:
1. An integrated fluidjet system capable of prepping and coating a surface of a part, the integrated fluidjet system comprising: a cell defining an electrically shielded enclosure, wherein the electrically shielded enclosure is a Faraday cage; 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 the nozzle with a pressurized fluid to enable the nozzle to generate a fluidjet with the coating particles and the pressurized fluid capable of sequentially prepping and coating the part; a high-voltage generator for either charging the coating particles or the part; and a human-machine interface external to the cell for receiving user commands and for controlling the robotic arm and the fluidjet exiting from the nozzle in response to the user commands.
