Abstract

A first source of radiation generates a first radiation to remove a coating from a component. An amount of the first radiation generated by the first source of radiation depends on an amount of power supplied to the first source of radiation. A controller receives feedback regarding removal of the coating from the component by the first radiation and regarding the amount of power supplied to the first source of radiation, and adjusts the amount of power supplied to the first source of radiation based on the feedback. A second source of radiation generates a second radiation capable of detecting whether the coating is encountered again. The controller restarts the first source of radiation to generate the first radiation in response to the coating being detected by the second radiation, and sets the amount of power supplied to the first source of radiation based on the feedback.
