Built for Steel as It Really Is
CAD shows the part as designed. Sensing finds the part as built. The robot adapts inside your approved procedure.
THE PROBLEM
The Part on the Floor Is Not the Model
Conventional robot programs replay fixed paths. Fabricated steel rarely matches them: plates distort under heat, fit-up varies part to part and high-mix shops cannot afford to reteach every job. Programming time and rework eat the gains automation was meant to bring.
APPROACH
How Catfish Approaches It
Job-specific planning interprets geometry, proposes paths and sequences work. Released motion is executed by deterministic control.
Geometry Understanding
Read the CAD assembly and identify its weld joints.
Path Planning
Propose reachable torch paths around fixtures and geometry.
Adaptive Correction
Compensate for gap and offset only within approved WPS limits.
Learning From Records
Feed recorded corrections back into engineering review.
HOW IT WORKS
Sense, Plan, Move, Verify
A closed loop with clear boundaries. Each step hands off to the next, and the record feeds the next plan.
- SenseMeasure the as-built part.
- PlanPropose a path inside the WPS.
- MoveDeterministic control executes.
- VerifyScan and record the result.
AI does not drive servos, change qualified procedure limits or bypass safety.
