Aetec logo Aetec Automation Screw Assembly Planning Suite
CAD-assisted screw assembly

From 3D model and assembly drawing to a reviewed robot sequence.

Import a STEP or IGES model, identify cylindrical hole candidates, compare assembly callouts, confirm screw size and length, and generate a traceable screwdriving sequence.

Geometry screening Hole location and diameter candidates STEP cylindrical surfaces and IGES circular entities are screened automatically.
Engineering review Explicit, inferred, and unconfirmed features Ambiguous holes remain visible for end-user confirmation before sequencing.
Screw standard M2 / M3 / M4 / M5 / M6 / M8 × 25 mm Required length is compared with the current standardized 25 mm screw inventory.
