Physical AI for Steel as It Really Is
Coordinated motion, real-world sensing and deterministic control, built for as-built parts, not ideal CAD.
OUR APPROACH
Built Steel Deviates From Nominal Geometry
Plates distort. Fit-up drifts. Large parts cannot be turned easily. Fabrication robots have to move to the work, measure what is really there and adapt only inside the procedure your engineers approved. That is the whole idea behind Catfish technology: AI plans, deterministic control moves, an independent safety layer stops.
TECHNOLOGY
Control Architecture
01 / PLAN
AI Plans
Job-specific planning interprets geometry, proposes paths and sequences work. Released motion is executed by deterministic control.
02 / EXECUTE
Deterministic Control Moves
Deterministic control executes released trajectories across the W7 and external axes in real time.
03 / PROTECT
An Independent Safety Layer Stops
Protection is engineered per installation and kept independent of planning software.
SAFETY STOP BYPASSES INTELLIGENCESTOP
FOUR PILLARS
Four Disciplines, One System
Physical AI plans the work, motion carries the robot to it, sensing measures it and safety protects the people around it.
PIPELINE
From Geometry to Proof
Every weld follows the same path through the system.
- 01
Geometry
Studio imports the STEP, IGES or Parasolid model.
- 02
Plan
Joints, procedures and paths are planned and checked offline.
- 03
Sense
3D vision and laser seam sensing locate the as-built joint.
- 04
Move
Control X runs robot and external axes as one motion plan.
- 05
Weld
Weld executes the assigned WPS, correcting only inside its limits.
- 06
Proof
Proof stores the record for every weld.
ARC-X / COORDINATED MOTION
Coordinated System Axes
20+ coordinated system axes with 360° positioning capability
