Aetec Automation Demo
Helicoil + Pin Web Simulator
Aetec simulation demo
A professional Cloudflare Pages-ready webapp for demonstrating an automated line, validating the CAD/CAM-to-toolpath concept, and presenting a final simulator architecture for high-mix, low-volume parts.
This demo converts a manual helicoil and pin installation workflow into a visual PoC: station map, simulated part loading, vision inspection, feeder/tool selection, robotic insertion, QA verification, rejection logic, and MES-style traceability output.
Use the controls to switch between PoC demonstration and final simulator behavior. The viewer generates a potential toolpath, simulates tool changes, and exports the operation plan as JSON or CSV.
| # | Station | Operation | Tool | Target | QA / Signal | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Generate a toolpath to populate the operation plan. | ||||||
The current webapp supports CSV/JSON feature import for PoC testing. The final phase can add native CAD/CAM parsing, feature recognition, collision checks, and robot-specific post processors.
STEP/STL/DXF or CAM-exported CSV/JSON with hole coordinates, normal vectors, insert type, thread size, depth, and tolerance.
Identify helicoil features, pin holes, blind holes, access faces, fiducials, datum references, and operation constraints.
Choose insertion tool, feeder cartridge, approach vector, torque/depth recipe, tang-removal step, and QA rule.
Minimize robot travel and tool changes while preserving inspection gates, safety zones, fixture limits, and sequence constraints.
Render robot reach, possible collision envelope, fixture clearances, camera views, feeder status, and toolpath playback.
Export robot program, operation traveler, MES data, QA record, reject reason, and final part report.

}The webapp converts the concept into simulator controls, station status cards, cycle-time logic, CAD/CAM format, and the final implementation roadmap.
