<p>A coating system (10) includes a coating source (40) and a planetary manipulator assembly (11) that includes a first driveshaft (12) capable of receiving rotational input, a sun gear (14) rotationally fixed to the first driveshaft, a planetary gear (16) engaged with the sun gear, a second driveshaft (18) rotationally fixed to the planetary gear such that torque is transmitted from the sun gear to the planetary gear, a support shaft (24) operatively engaged with the second driveshaft, a carrier body (34) supporting the planetary gear relative to the sun gear, a third driveshaft (28) capable of receiving rotational input, and a drive gear (30) rotationally fixed to the third driveshaft. The support shaft is arranged substantially perpendicular to the second driveshaft. The carrier body is rotatable by the drive gear about a common axis (A) with the sun gear, and rotation of the carrier body rotates the planetary gear and the second driveshaft about the sun gear.
