Here's an instructional video on how to properly install wire liners in your Electric Arc Spray AT-400 Extension Torch coaxial cables to ensure proper compression.
Electric Arc Spray Consumable reorders, including coax cables, can be found here.
In an electric arc spray thermal spray coating system, ensuring that the liners installed in the coaxial cables are under compression is crucial for maintaining proper wire feeding and preventing misalignment.
When the liners are under compression, it helps keep the wires straight and stable as they are fed into the spray torch. This reduces the risk of wire jamming, twisting, or breaking during operation, which can lead to inconsistent coatings, system downtime, and costly repairs.
Proper compression also ensures that the electrical contact is maintained, which is necessary for consistent arc generation and optimal coating performance.

Commonly referred to as twin wire arc or metallizing, electric arc thermal spray is one of the most productive and economical thermal spray processes. The coating material, in wire form, is deposited on targeted substrates in molten form, creating extremely strong bonds. These coatings can serve as protective, decorative, or functional purposes, and are known for longevity, durability, and versatility. Thermach’s Electric Arc systems are designed to lower operator fatigue, are capable of robot integration, and significantly reduce maintenance costs.
The AT-400 high performance arc spray system combines the benefits of a “push” method wire feeder with the power of a 400-amp arc spray system.
