A multifunctional end effector includes a support structure configured to be carried by a robotic system and at least two of a fluid stream cutting system, a spindle system and/or a scanning system, each mounted to the support structure. Also described is a fluid stream cutting system having a plurality of fluid stream catchers selectively mountable to the fluid stream system and a mounting arrangement for mounting each fluid stream catcher to the fluid stream cutting system.

Fluid stream catcher mounting system

Multi-functional end effector with integrated waterjet, milling spindle system and/or scanning sensor, and a fluid stream catcher mounting system

A catcher for a fluid stream and a method of capturing a fluid stream from a nozzle and dissipating the energy therein includes receiving the fluid stream into a housing through an aperture; and deflecting the fluid stream obliquely within the housing in one or more preselected directions.
